The Specktators Collective - Mama lyrics

[Verse 1] In my head I spend my time But out my mind, I live dreams, mama Got this light inside my pocket None that dark can scare me, mama Now look at the man you made, mama Look at the man you raised, mama Gorgeous with the face, mama One that they can't hate, mama You remember 'Ye's mama? Registration 'Hey Mama' Rest in peace to 'Ye's mama But his mom ain't my mama I'll be on my way (on my way) I wish that I could stay, mama Got some paths to pave, mama Got some lives to save (lives to save) It's coming any day, mama We gon' get our break, mama Get this out the way [Hook] Out the way, out the way, out the way (out the way) Out the way, out the way, out the way now Out the way, out the way, out the way (out the way) Out the way, out the way, by the way [Verse 2] I know that Bai gon' be fine Give her time, let her learn sh**, even I took my sweet time, we all been dumb it's her turn And damn ma', quit crying, like this is just the first verse Ain't called you in a while, but I swear I've just been at work Remember way back in high school? Okay wait a minute, I mean way back Like holy sh**, I'm getting old now, and it's kinda weird for me to say that But my bad, what I was trying to say, was that I used to write raps everyday Had a blanket in the car you gave me so that during winter I could write on break I ain't even really skip much 'til I was seventeen and chilled with girls and sh** Teachers said that I should probably write because my words could get me out of trouble then Imagine all the sh** that I could do if I invested energy in something else Well, I guess we're gonna find out, 'cause people tattooing sh** I wrote down I can't even see the marker's mom, I don't even know what f**ing mile I'm on All I know is that a million plays was like a really long f**ing time ago Now that there is a milestone, I know I swear a little too much But, I just want a big f**ing home, not a home I just use to f** Sorry ma, took it too far, just couldn't pa** up a good bar But see the way that they're looking at me, like, "God damn, that sh** look hard" And yeah dude, this sh** hard to find, like some good food in the refrigerator But Ma would say, "Boy it's right there, behind the orange juice, move that out the way" And I thank God for you every day, but you've done more for me than he has And actually when I think about it, maybe God's a woman 'cause we need that Like who else could've raised me better, I got everything that I need here I got the drive and you got the wheel, and you even let me put the seat back This energy, yeah I feed off it, and this ottoman, I take my feet off it Got a hot plate when I need it most and some feedback, and Ma I need it often Ain't nothing like the love a mother gives and I have plenty friends that still keep calling 'Cause sometimes a little pick-me-up from my birth mother slow the free-fallin' And mom, I know that dad would be proud and I miss grandfather each and every day But every time I see my mother smile I'm reminded he ain't even far away And neither one of us will live forever but I promise every time they say my name All they gon' remember is the man you gave an opportunity to do the same And that's real [Outro] And in my head I spend my time But out my mind, I live dreams, mama
