It’s You (I Get It From My Mama)
[Produced by Boukis & Plato III]
[Verse 1]
This one's from mama
I know that we had our problems
And you wish you could go back but
I want you to know you was awesome
Wal-Mart, Target or McDonalds
It ain't matter what the job was
You'd be there when I call ya
I always came first that's your promise
8 years old, homeless and no one would help us
But you cried in that office, yeah you got us into that shelter
That night was Halloween
And we had a marathon
Freddie and Jason and Leprechaun
Mama you taught me to carry on
Bill collectors was making calls
And I needed sneakers for playing ball
So you robbing Peter and paying Paul
I'm 5'5'', you should've saved it all
But I'ma pay back every dolla
Then I'ma take you to Red Lobster
All you can eat shrimp and pasta
Just to say I love you mama
[Chorus]
Wonder how I learned to get thru
Life try killing my mood
I get it from my mama it's true
It's you, it's you, it's you
Wonder how I learned to get thru
Life try killing my mood
I get it from my mama it's true
It's you, it's you, it's you
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I ain't show you love
Sometimes I was cold as fuck
Couldn't accept you for who you are
I just wasn't grown enough
Nobody to call my dad
It was you, you was all I had
But you changed when you drank
I just wanted my mama back
I thought I could make you better
But then I got fed up
And as I got older, we stopped hanging together
I hope you forgive me
Cuz ma I forgive you
I'm older than you when you had me
You was just a kid too
[Chorus]
Wonder how I learned to get thru
Life try killing my mood
I get it from my mama it's true
It's you, it's you, it's you
Wonder how I learned to get thru
Life try killing my mood
I get it from my mama it's true
It's you, it's you, it's you
