Mamma Said

(album: Everybody Hates Chris - 2020)

My mamma said
My mamma said
My mamma said it would be times like this
My mamma said

My mamma said it's gone be times like this
My mamma said it's gone be times like this
When you can't count on the ones you call your friends
Remember I ain't have shit, now we living lavish
And if a nigga speak down on my brother
Let them have it
They say my nigga he done killed somebody
I don't wanna talk about it
[?]

My mamma said it's gone be times like this
When you can't count on the ones you call your friends
I should've listened to what she told me
Just because they know my name
Don't mean they know me
Just because I say "what's up" don't mean we homies

My mamma said
My mamma said
My mamma told me keep my head up
"Don't trust nobody everybody ain't your friend son"
Stay out the way and get your mother fucking bread up
And if the police pull you over out your hands up
Niggas beefing over pussy I'm too G for that
I watch how you move, you do what you do
But I be peeping that
I fuck you good, I tear up your walls, I be deep in that
Thought you was my brother, you switched lanes
But I don't move like that
My mamma said
My mamma said
I should've listened
This what she told me
That everybody that's around ain't your homie
And if a nigga think I'm pussy come and show me
Don't know why my heart is colder
Mamma said "you'll understand when you get older"
That's why I keep my guard up
Cause everybody be letting me down
Same nigga used to diss me
Now they tryna come around
Now I'm like "damn homie
In high school you was the man homie"

My mamma said
My mamma said
That it would be times like this
Oh, like this yeah
Oh, like this yeah
Oh, woo
