"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

Every step that I take...
Cassyette - "Over It" Some things I can't undo
(I wish I could)
Coz I'm bruised and so are you

Troubled thoughts like...

But you're still waking up with bloodshot eyes from crying all night

And I'm sitting in the passenger seat, watching it all blur by
