Mama

Mama said: Don't get in trouble
Mama said: Don't be a fool
Mama said: Stay in somebody's church
Mama said: Boy, stay in school
Mama told me I better get home
Before the street ligts com on
Mama always used to cry when I left her
Maybe cause daddy was gone
I still remember the lessons my mama taught me
But now it's my turn to show you how far they brought me
Mama, I made it
Mama, I made it
I could have been locked up
I could have been gunned down
But I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now
Cause mama I made it
And I hope I made you proud
Mama said: Stay humble
Mama said: Stay true
Mama said: Boy, keep your drama far away from you
Mama said: Keep working, bustin on to the future
Mama said: She lost one and she aint trynna lose
But I had to find my way
And I had to get my own
Mama ain't always right
But she never let me wrong
I don't know if imma make it big
Mama but I made it out
I know I didn't make it easy
I know you had your doubts
I still remember the lessons my mama tought me
But now it's my turn to show you how far they brought me
How far they brought me
Mama, I made it
Mama, I made it
I could have been locked up
I could have been gunned down
But I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now
Cause mama I made it
And I hope I made you proud
Mama, I made it
Mama, I made it
I could have been locked up
I could have been gunned down
But I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now
Cause mama I made it
And I hope I made you proud
