The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Thank you for showing me the world
You know that you are
My one and only girl
Got you in my ear saying
Don't do me just do your hair, baby
Let it be
Black don't crack, so hold your own
Gotta take it from me
Money don't grow on trees, no (no, no)
Don't let the money
Give you that ego
Mama told me, ooh
Baby lift your head, mm
What's gonna be
Is gonna be
Yes, she told me, ooh
No point in regret, mm
'Cause what's coming for you
Is gonna be better yet
My mama
My mama
She told me
My mama
My mama
She told me
My mama
My mama
She told me
My mama
My mama (this is for mama)
She told me
Thank you for loving who I am
Even when I act a fool
You still understand, oh oh ah
I'll never forget you saying
Don't do me just do your hair, baby
Let it be
Black don't crack so hold your own
Gotta take it from me
Money don't grow on trees, no
Don't let the money
Give you that ego
Mama told me
Yes, she told me
Mama told me
Yeah
Yeah
Mama told me, ooh
Baby lift your head, mm
What's gonna be
Is gonna be
Yes, she told me, ooh
No point in regret, mm
'Cause what's coming for you
Is gonna be better yet
My mama
My mama (I love you mama)
She told me
My mama
My mama
She told me
My mama
My mama
She told me
My mama
My mama
She told me
