Momma I'm Good
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
I lied to you and said I’m doing okay
But I’mma lie until I find my own way
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
Except the rent’s overdue, Don’t know what I’mma do
Landlord ain’t called, and I’m hoping he never do
And I had to drop my classes, Cause I ain’t get my FAFSA
It was something with pop’s taxes, I don’t really know what happened
I’m starting to go berserk, My sneakers all on the turf
I been hoofing it to work, cause my truck it isn’t insured
And I need me another job, but one more’ll make three
But I’m just tryna make this money ‘fore it makes me crazy
Cause my momma raised a warrior, Daddy raised a prince
Summers’ eve in ’91, and I been swaggin’ ever since
But what happened to ya kid? Guess the innocence is over
Plus I can’t put a finger on the last weekend I was sober
I know you taught me respect, and I’m tryna follow that
But it’s hard not to touch these boppers when it’s falling in your lap
And just to stay sane, I been relying on rap
But besides all that, momma. Besides all that
You know
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
I lied to you and said I’m doing okay
But I’mma lie until I find my own way
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma …
Noble gave me a call a couple weeks before he died
Picking up my phone to hear my cousin apologize
Said he’s sorry he ain't pay attention, but now he know I’mma make it
Told him I’d call him back and my ass just procrastinated
Now he’s gone, ma, he’s gone, but he’s living on through this song
Ain't nobody dying in vain, I promise I’mma get you
You gave me a helping hand, so you should sleep under palms
Gimme time and you get the call, gimme time and you get the call
Saying I made it happen and I’m following my dream
Remember your coworker said they saw me on BET
Remember I said I rapped and you told me it couldn’t be
Now you wholeheartedly believe, Now you as crazy as me
Now you remember them Parent-Teacher conferences
They said I needed Adderoll
But we ain’t pay attention, for the momma, you gone have it all
You and Pops. On my word, I ain’t failing you
One day I’mma puck up the phone and tell the truth
When I say…
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
I lied to you and said I’m doing okay
But I’mma lie until I find my own way
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma …
[Outro]
Sweet mother I no go forget you
For dey suffer we you suffer for me
(x2)
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
I lied to you and said I’m doing okay
But I’mma lie until I find my own way
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good, Momma
Momma I’m good, Momma I’m good
