Mama Knows
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.
Mama said: Good things come free
Do what you can and be what you need
We never had much, but we figured it out
Cause when you've got nothing, there's nothing to bitch about
She would say: Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff
Say: You got money, you got something
Oh, oh, just hit me with love
You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing
Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff
Say: You got money, you got something
Oh, oh, just hit me with love
You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing
Mama knows
Yes, mama knows
Well, no shit, your life is hard
It's an easy Sunday when you know who you are (oh yeah, child)
Ain't no shortcut gonna bring you peace (no)
But your mama knows just what you need (yes)
She would say: Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff
Say: You got money, you got something
Oh, oh, just hit me with love
You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing
Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff
Say: You got money, you got something
Oh, oh, just hit me with love
You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing
Mama knows
Ooh, yes, mama knows, yeah
Mmhmm, yeah
Oh, yes
Oh, it's so sweet
Yes, it is
I said it's, it's so sweet (yeah)
It's so sweet (oh Lord, yes)
It's so sweet (yeah)
Oh, but if you don't know, now, now
You better go ask your mama
She would say: Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff
Say: You got money, you got something
Oh, oh, just hit me with love
You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing
Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff
Say: You got money, you got something
Oh, oh, just hit me with love
You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing
Mama knows
I said your mom, she knows (yes)
