"Mama Said" lyrics
(feat. Brady Watt)
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
I always knew what god gave me wasn't something to waste
All the setbacks from a dozen mistakes
I see the anger when you up in my face
But what's worse running away or running in place
I'm from a town in New England where they ain't open to change
They just get stuck in the cycle inside the snow and the rain
I think the fear of feeling trapped just had me going insane
That's a me issue really I had no one to blame
I left my friends on the east we use to run as a team
I'll do anything just so they don't give up their dreams
I'm in LA but it ain't what it seems
Some days the weight feels like ima break at the seams
I'm a grown man this isn't little Jerry no more
Had to expand I couldn't live in Derry no more
I'm just a human I get tired of shit
At night I lie in my bed and make a promise I won't die with regrets
I'm saying
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
Only me and my mama and the lord knows
That I don't do it for award shows though
I'm tryna book a couple more shows
Anything that helps so the house don't get foreclosed
Lows have been way too common
Problem with my music is I'm way too honest
How you gonna break it when I made you promise
How am I supposed to stunt when I'm way too modest
Ima get my confidence up on some Kanye shit
Feeling like an Outkast on some Andre shit
The big boy in the neighborhood
I always told em I would do it if I say I would say I would
They told me drink and smoke something that be good for the pain
Till you rely on it then it ain't too good for the brain
See I been dreaming on it dreaming on it
Mama back home I know she leaning on me hear her saying
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
I always knew what god gave me wasn't something to waste
All the setbacks from a dozen mistakes
I see the anger when you up in my face
But what's worse running away or running in place
I'm from a town in New England where they ain't open to change
They just get stuck in the cycle inside the snow and the rain
I think the fear of feeling trapped just had me going insane
That's a me issue really I had no one to blame
I left my friends on the east we use to run as a team
I'll do anything just so they don't give up their dreams
I'm in LA but it ain't what it seems
Some days the weight feels like ima break at the seams
I'm a grown man this isn't little Jerry no more
Had to expand I couldn't live in Derry no more
I'm just a human I get tired of shit
At night I lie in my bed and make a promise I won't die with regrets
I'm saying
Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't run away
Mama said son mama said son

Mama said son mama said son
Mama said son don't act this way
