Mama Said (I’m Bringing Down Fire)

[Verse 1]
Parked at my desk with my face doused in the sun
Wondering if I have enough change in my pocket to make some
But only through these melodies and these drums can I overcome the pain
Inject the novocain, now I’m numb
But when the words bleed off the sheets and beam into a reality
That’s my mentality
And execute with as little banality as possible
Punchlines with brutality, causing casualties
Now my rhymes blue and black, you see
And I keep flowing like the dam demolished
And won’t lеave the game satisfiеd until the man accomplished
And just because I took my time don’t mean the plan abolished
I’ve just been perfecting my rhymes, now the brand is polished
You got it? Now listen
It takes a lot of precision for unlocking your vision
And it feels harder to get it with no pots left to piss in
Glitter gold shines better in the light
So now I’m spittin’ these writtens in hopes that I will glisten, uh

[Chorus]
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do, we do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do-do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do, we do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do-do

[Verse 2]
Yeah, because I’m all about my dough
And if you don’t got it
Lay you on the floor or out the front door, hoe
Nah that’s just all jokes
How else am I supposed to put a smile on your face
While still flipping flows?
Rapping for some chains
Making my back crackin’
Now I’m a slave to the game
Break it like a crack addict
I done had it, need a breath like an asthmatic
Grab the Craftmatic
But let’s switch the subject matter
Spitting schemes to get the cream then split it with my team
Cause at the end of the week, I’d rather grow than compete
Building the foundation with a nation up on their feet
Rather than using their heads as area for your cleats
And me? I just go along with passion
But it’s so much more than rapping
So big, I can’t even fathom it, it’s massive
Why hold onto your dreams when you can take action?
Just pour your brain onto the pad and watch the magic
I hope to make a living off of crafting words and gripping mics
Rather than 9 to 5’s, stacking burg’s and grilling fries
I’m hoping that the future holds the passion burnt and vivid lights
And pray that it don’t crash and burn
But rather live for life
Merciless mercenary on the mic so meticulous
It’s ridiculous how much heart and soul I put into every word
And I plan to keep it that way forever
And I’ll keep that word until my blood spills and I hit the dirt, cuz

[Chorus]
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do, we do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do-do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do, we do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do-do

[Bridge]
And just when I think I done my very best
I get a sense of regret, re-regret
Cause mama always said
Yeah, and just when I think I done my very best
I always seem to repent, re-repent
Cause mama always said

[Chorus]
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do, we do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do-do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do, we do
Mama said, mama said (Check it)
You don’t know these streets like we do-do
