[Intro]
Yo, this is RAY BLK and you are watching LADbible Presents Acoustic Room
This is "Mama"

[Verse 1]
In the kitchen on the southside
Catching vibes at the table after midnight
Mama sleep, try not to wake her on the inside
Wondering if I'll ever make it
Mama told me I'm the greatest, I'm the greatest
She was right beside me, pushed me 'til I made it here
Pressure leave a person cracked up like an 80s kid
She was single, holding me down
Even though my dad weren't around

[Pre-Chorus]
She would tell me everything was alright (Ooh)
Even when I couldn't see the sunshine (Ooh)
She has been a queen to me in my life (Ooh)
She was still believing when it wasn't easy

[Chorus]
So when you see me smiling when I feel down
Yeah, I get that from my mama
And when you see these hips and thighs (That sit nice)
Yo, I got that from my mama
It don't matter what I make or where I go (In this world)
I got to get back to my mama
'Cause love is what love does
Shout (Shoutout to my mama)
[Verse 2]
It was too hard when you're working two jobs
'Cause you're raising three kids, praying to God
'Cause you gotta pay bills, we live how we live
You were on the night shift, we're locked in the crib
You used to say don't tell nobody
People might come, try to take us away
Each and every day, I say I appreciate
All the ways that you loved me

[Pre-Chorus]
She would tell me everything was alright (Ooh)
Even when I couldn't see the sunshine (Ooh)
She has been a queen to me in my life (Ooh)
She was still believing when it wasn't easy

[Chorus]
(When you see me smiling when I feel down)
Yeah, I get that from my mama
And when you see these hips and thighs (That sit nice)
Yo, I got that from my mama
It don't matter what I make or where I go (In this world)
I got to get back to my mama
'Cause love is what love does
Shout (Shoutout to my mama)
[Bridge]
"I'll whoop your arse if you're late
Now, you can't go on no dates
You talkin' back, think you grown 'cause you menstruate
But you ain't that bad, are you?
I hate when we argue
I raised you to honour your mother and father
Yeah, I wanna see you livin' dreams
Remember you're a queen
I wanna see you make it, don't lose your Christianity
I tried to give the best of me
Give you the tools to propel you to your destiny"

[Chorus]
So when you see me smiling when I feel down
(Yeah, I get that from my mama) I get it from my mama
(And when you see these hips and thighs that sit nice)
Yeah, I got that from my mama
And it don't matter what I make or where I go (In this world)
It's where I got to get back to my mama
'Cause love is what love does
Shout (Shoutout to my mama)

[Outro]
Said love is what love does
Shout (Shoutout to my mama)
Yeah, love is what love does
Shout (Shoutout to my mama)
Said love is what love does
Shout (Shoutout to my mama)
Yeah, love is what love does
Shout (Shoutout) to my mama
