Mama Said

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I be wishing I could take it back to days when days were simple
Where all I had to worry bout was school and if I had a pimple
Now everybody looking up to me like I'm God
And I'm tryna be the man but I can't put up no facade
It's a sacrifice out here leading
Tryna patch people's wounds when yourself still bleeding
Everything falls down I wonder who see us
Boom boom pow like onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia I been on my job
Scary thing is I been feeling like Tom
Lord is my shepherd I been reading in Psalms (yeah)
Need to feel God in my feet and my palms
I feel like I'm overprotective because I'm scared of getting hurt
Cause it's like time and time again the hurt is getting worse
I feel I'm cursed cause people lied to me so much I can't relax
Every time I'm tryna level up the devil on my back

[Hook]
Cause we been down before, yeah I ain't know
It ain't nothing like I been through before
We gon' make it out believe me
Cause He ain't brought me this far just to leave me
That's what mama said, that's what mama said
That's what mama said, that's what mama said
That's what mama said, that's what mama said
Cause He ain't brought me this far just to leave me
That's what mama said

[Verse 2]
Satan bringing up my past when my past is past (yeah)
I can't let my story bring me down He brought me through that
(brought me through)
But what's done in the dark comes to the light I promise
That's the realest He pull grace from a Big Ben like He rocking with the Steelers
On top of that my homeboy passed last week
Long live 22 that's how fast life be
Then I step out to a show and get a call from my sis
She said a dude hung himself in school he only in the sixth
It's my job to bring this hope, it's my job to walk this rope
It's my job to always stay low, it's my job to save these souls
So I can't give up now
Mary Mary it's a sound
Praise for life like I'm Claude
Be still and know He God

[Hook]
Cause we been down before, yeah I ain't know
It ain't nothing like I been through before
We gon' make it out believe me
Cause He ain't brought me this far just to leave me
That's what mama said, that's what mama said
That's what mama said, that's what mama said
That's what mama said, that's what mama said
That's what mama said, that's what mama said
Cause He ain't brought me this far just to leave me
That's what mama said
