Mama Knows

[Hook: Arkh Zeus]
If mama proud, then I can’t complain
Still got her doubts, but ain’t losin’ faith
Bustin’ my ass until she could relax
And live comfortably
Peepin’ the smiles, knowin’ they’re fake
Niggas are clowns, movin’ like lames
Doin’ my best to stand out from the rest
They stand under me
Fuck all the crowds, shit’s all the same
Got my own sound, surfin’ my wave
Into the light— I’m immortal tonight
Like how Cudi be
Up in the clouds, findin’ my way
Gone off the loud, straight to the face
Shit’s mandatory while tellin’ a story so lovely

[Verse 1: Young Yousef]
It’s right, it’s right, it’s right
Cloud 9, I’m taking flight
Was lost inside the dark
But I done found the light
Told mama that I got this
We gon’ be alright
I promise
I promise that Linden made me, yeah you know where I’m at
Tryna put that on the map
All my girls already told me I’m tapped
They just don’t know that I’m tapped in
Been on the road for so long
Got me looking like
How the fuck I done got stuck in the traffic?
I can’t lie like often times, I feel stagnant
Then I go and write me a classic
Shit, they know that the plan is to stack M’s
And I’m copping my mama a black Benz
And they know that I love it in Linden
But mama been tryna get the fuck out of Linden
So I’ma just pay off the mortgage and buy her some other shit
I don’t know, like out in Aspen
I’ll be grinding ‘til the boy in a casket
And just know that I can’t be mad if..

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Arkh Zeus]
Writing a lovely story
Know that this ink is my blood from the pain
Fuck every nigga before me
Watched them all sink in the flood that I drained
Fuck their glory, shit doesn’t remain
Shit gets gory, yeah tons of remains
I stayed sure, never comforted lames
Just went for more, then the summit it came
Mama knows
Yeah, even way back when she used to attack me
Then finally told me I gotta go
Ain’t overreact— strapped my Mac to my back
Then I told my shorty “aye, vamanos”
Just picture me frozen, left out in the open
But this time a nigga ain’t drown in the ocean
A matter of fact, I was practically floatin’
Yeah bitch, I’m soarin’ now, steadily pourin’ out
All of my aura straight down to the audio
I’ve been floorin’ while stayin’ on course with my stories
I’m sure that you phonies gon’ copy ‘em
But you’ll always be corny ass novices
No-- you’ll never be gorgeous, I promise ya
You heard it from the source— on my mama yuh
Comin’ straight from the North— on my mama yuhhh
