Hey Mama

Hey mama, it's me

Said you better wait child

Said you've been a long time running

Hey mama, answer me

Baby boy you better sit down

Can't listen when the Sun's out

My only son this will be so hard to hear

C'mon mama what do you mean

I know you've been knocked down

I know it ain't all been easy

Nothing ever good really is

Why you gotta wait so long

Why you gotta wait so long

But she said son

Let me reason with you

You think you carry such a weight

I know I never beat you boy

Better start acting like

This here's a race

You ain't gone far enough to say

At least I tried

You ain't worked hard enough to say

Well I've done mine

You ain't run far enough to say

My legs have failed

You ain't gone far enough

You ain't worked hard enough

You ain't run far enough to say

It ain't gonna get any better
