[Verse 1]
Raining and the weather's foul
Think I better rest a while
Mother, mother's son
Think I'll make a great big kiss
Pray they don't need much to cease
Mother, mother's son
Get down and get funky
Watch out for damn junkies
Mother, mother's son
Mother

[Chorus]
Mother's son
Mother

[Verse 2]
In the street with the people you meet
Getting tired, want something to eat
Mother, mother's son
No, you won't be a superstar
But try to be the child you are
Mother, mother's son
Can't let 'em fool ya
Or we'll have to school ya
Mother, mother's son
[Chorus]
Mother, mother's son

[Outro]
Can't get no wilder
When they get you in front of a gun
Just thinking not giving
Makes life not worth living
Can't let 'em fool ya
Or we'll have to school ya
Know you want to be a superstar
But try to be the child you are
