[Intro]
I remember - Lord, have mercy...
Mama said
[Verse 1]
As far back as I can remember
Heaven was just a place
Mama used to talk about, yes she did
A billow of clouds, a true paradise
Hundreds of angels to care
For all the good people there
A far off place, I was led to believe
Another life, with beauty sublime
[Chorus]
"Just stay on the good side of things, my son
And you'll get there in good time"
Lord, that's what my mama said
Heh, she used to talk to me
Lord, have mercy... mama
[Verse 2]
Now that my childhood in ended
I find a lot of things
Mama said have come to pass, yeah yeah yeah
Hardship and pain, a lot of sacrifice
Finding true happiness
Is not a very easy task
No, no it ain't... said it's hard sometimes
But on I trudge with my pledge, do or die
And my Mama's words still fresh in my mind
[Chorus]
"Oh, stay on the good side of things, my son
Oh, and you'll get there in good time"
Just, just alright...
Take it easy, son, heh!
Mama talked a lot, you know
[Verse 3]
Now I'm at the age of maturity
I've got my very own philosophy
That of which I'm sure some will disagree
But I feel that Heaven's wherever you want it to be
Oh, I've got my bearing and I've made a stance
That mean old Devil won't stand a chance
'Cause I've got Mama's words in mind...
[Chorus]
"Oh, the good side, my son
And you'll get there in good time"
Lord, have mercy! But it's alright
Hey, good God... yes, I did good
Mama used to say, the good side
[Outro]
(Stay on the good side) stay on the good side
(Stay on the good side) Mama told me
Stay on the good side, son (stay on the good side)
Good side, oh! (stay on the good side)
Just stay on the good side (stay on the good side)
The good side (stay on the good side)
Don't you go on the bad side (stay on the good side)
Just stay on the good side (stay on the good side)
Gotta stay on the good side (stay on the good side)
Just stay on the good side (stay on the good side)
Just stay on the good side of things (stay on the good side)
Gotta stay on the good side...
