MAMA

[Intro]
(Mama) called me
Early this morning
Asking: “How u doin’ son?”
I lied, said I’m doing fine
(yea, yea)
Anyways I wanted to tell you (tell you)
(oh ahh)
You’re the head and not the tail
Above and not beneath, yes you’re born to lead;
Thanks ma, you’re so sweet!

[Chorus]
My Mama, she’s more than 9 months
Oh yea, she’s great advice
She ages like wine, yeah yeah!
Mommy you!
You’re more than 9 months
You’re a lifetime
She ages like wine, yeah yeah!

[Verse 1]
Mama I got to love to love you
Cause you made me
So I got to make you
Live more comfortable
Like the Huxtables
Feet cock up, bills paid
Nuttin’ worried bout
I know, I don’t pass through as much as you want me to
But I’m hunting, searching for the breakthrough
My only fear’s too
That it gon’ break you
All this panic and comments that this space can brew
“Are you eating?”
“Are you alright?”
Well, I said sometimes
“Hope you ain’t smoking that ganja!”
Oh yea, that marijuana
“Speaking of marry, when you gonna get a son and daughter?”
(Dead wid laughter)
Yea!
Just called to tell you:
“You’re the head an’ not the tail
Above and not beneath
Yes, you’re born to lead.”
Thanks ma, you’re so sweet!

[Chorus]
My Mama, she’s more than 9 months
Oh yea, she’s great advice
She ages like wine, yeah-yeah!
Mommy you!
You’re more than 9 months (yeah)
You’re a lifetime
She ages like wine, yeah-yeah!

[Verse 2]
I know its hard
For you to understand
Why I left the bank
Not even I know God's plans
Not even I know what’s up next
And who would have thought I’d have fans?! (yeah)
Two years in the streets
Me an’ Grei show and Dennis making beats
People come
People go
People diss
People leave
Up ah UWI rooftop an’ balconies use to sleep
‘Cause the house a Oaklands couldn’t keep;
Two-twos, now u see me pon u TV
An’ yu fren dem ah work
An’ yu frens dem a church
Ah seh: “Yu son a work
Now him gone out pon tour”
Now yu believing more
Now yu said its for sure
Then I’m knocking on doors
Fi yu olive oil pon me
Pon me forehead fi yu
Pray and just say -
“Oh yes, don’t be stressed
Don’t you know that you are blessed my child? (yeah)
Just put your best foot forward
Just go harder
Just work smarter for your little brother!”
Yeah!

[Chorus]
My Mama, she’s more than 9 months
Yea, she’s great advice
She ages like wine, yeah yeah!
