Mama Said - S.O.

Mama said if I wanna eat I gotta work

Mama said if I wanna read I gotta learn

Mama said keep it 100 on the turf

And boy leave the treasures that you earned on the earth

That’s what mama said (yeah that’s what mama said)

Mama told me don’t trip, mama told me cautious

Mama told me no lip, especially when she be talking

Mama Yinka showed drip, her wrist game got me nauseous

Mama got a new whip, coz the old one was quite boring

Mama got a few orphans that she’s taken into her house

Mama Yinka losing her spouse didn’t mean to go and chase clout

She was broke but didn’t break out

We was hopeless thinking like how we ever gonna make it mama said now

Trust in God and solemnly vow

Don’t let hope fade so we both prayed

Mama showed me the old days

Old friends tried to run the streets, mama told me look both ways

Mama made sure her son would eat, never hungered or go stray

Mama told me don’t ever cheat, love God till your old grey

Mama told me if I wanna eat I gotta work

Mama took me down to church prayed for me now I perch

Mama gave all she had and the money out her purse

If I ever went missing she would search

My mama a prophet for real

I gotta be honest and deal

Mama would see what I did before I done it

My mama has something to seal

I remember shorty she bad I wanted her bad her body was real

Mama dreaming now she telling me chill

How she know it I guess God has reveal whenever she kneels

Wake up in the morning cutting a meal

Make it when I’m yawning not a big deal

I brought Sophie over head over heels

How you took her in was something surreal

Mama Yinka got skills Mama Yinka so trill

Mama Yinka be cutting Mama Yinka no frills

You still build real deal goals Mama you a real deal so

How your loving still will flow You are not an ill willed soul

If I had a mil we’ll go, anywhere you feel real flow

Mama you the wheel you know, until I die I’ll give you most

Mama told me if I wanna eat I gotta work

Mama took me down to church prayed for me now I perch

Mama gave all she had and the money out her purse

If I ever went missing she would search
