Mama

[Chorus: Amine with Charlie Wilson]
Mama, uh huh
Mama
Yeah, yeah, I'm singin', mama
Ah yeah, yeah, that's my mama
Uh, I said, mama
I do this shit for my mama
Can't lie to my mama
I gotta cry for my ma-ma-ma-mama

[Verse 1]
Look where I'm at, Mommy, who woulda knew?
Sometimes, I miss the days where you'd take me to school
Used to promise when I'm rich that I would get your favorite whip
You was my lift before the Lyft, so you deserve you a coupe
Twenty-plus years at the Post Office (Yeah)
You was workin' graveyard shifts for the both of us (Yeah)
You deserve a long vacation, a standing ovation
And shout out Ms. Bekele for the genius notations

[Pre-Chorus: Aminé]
And it's you that I'm missin'
Every time I needed someone, you would listen
I'ma write you a song to put on everyday
So the times that I'm gone, you could smile when it plays
I'ma take you to the GRAMMYs in a yellow suit
Put ya in Chanel just to show 'em how my mama do
My number one fan, I'm your number one man
When I thought that I couldn't you told me that I can

[Chorus: Amine with Charlie Wilson]
Mama, uh huh
Mama
Yeah, yeah, I'm singin', mama
Ah yeah, yeah, that's my mama
Uh, I said, mama
I do this shit for my mama
Can't lie to my mama
I gotta cry for my ma-ma-ma-mama

[Post-Chorus: ODIE]
'Cause you're the only woman in my life
Who makes me smile, you make me smile
'Cause you're the only woman in my life
Who makes me smile, you make me smile

[Verse 2: Aminé]
First year I moved out, I was strugglin' (True)
Didn't wanna tell 'cause I know that you be worryin' (Yeah)
You told me, "Go back to college," but I went back to Cali (Woo)
Had to celebrate a couple birthdays without me (Yeah)
Whooped my ass, so I had to learn the harder way (Yeah, yeah)
Bad lil' nigga, of course I was a balegē (Yeah)
Would never tell you one lie, okay, maybe one lie (Woo)
You my favorite person, let's go 'head and make the song cry

[Pre-Chorus: Aminé]
And it's you that I'm missin'
Every time I needed someone, you would listen
I'ma write you a song to put on everyday
So the times that I'm gone, you could smile when it plays
You my idol and the one that I need (Yeah)
Best cook, best looks, you support all my dreams
Look, I'm thankful to be your son, it's my honor
Tonight I want to quote 2Pac, "Dear Mama"

[Chorus: Amine with Charlie Wilson]
Mama, uh huh
Mama
Yeah, yeah, I'm singin', mama
Ah yeah, yeah, that's my mama
Uh, I said, mama
I do this shit for my mama
Can't lie to my mama
I gotta cry for my ma-ma-ma-mama

[Break: Charlie Wilson & Aminé]
Mama

Mama (I do this shit for my)
Mama (Can’t lie to my)
Mama (I gotta cry for my)
Ma-ma-ma-mama

[Outro: ODIE]
'Cause you're the only woman in my life
Who makes me smile, you make me smile
'Cause you're the only woman in my life
Who makes me smile, you make me
