"Mama" lyrics

"Mama"

I'm the one who sings their lullabies
I'm the one who wipes the tears they cry
I'm Bible-readin'
Jesus-preachin'
On the in and outside
But God help you if you ever cross the line

Back off my babies
You can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin'
I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best
Because I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama

Everybody's got their cheap two cents
Stranger, teachers, even the government
I'm not to make a scene
But your crazy is my gasoline
Just try me and you'll find out what I mean

Back off my babies
You can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin'
I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best
Because I'm Mama

I'm the keeper and protector
I'm the frontline, the defender
I'm the comfort and the fighter
Like a mama bear in the wild
A little pretty, pretty deadly
I ain't lookin' for a fight but I'm ready
I'm the grit and the grace
So, don't get in my way!

Back off my babies
You can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin'
I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best
Because I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama
I'm Mama
Back off my babies
I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama
