Mama Said

Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't run away
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't act this way
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't run away
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't act this way
 I always knew what god gave me wasn't something to waste
 All the setbacks from a dozen mistakes
 I see the anger when you up in my face
 But what's worse running away or running in place
 I'm from a town in New England where they ain't open to change
 They just get stuck in the cycle inside the snow and the rain
 I think the fear of feeling trapped just had me going insane
 That's a me issue really I had no one to blame
 I left my friends on the east we use to run as a team
 I'll do anything just so they don't give up their dreams
 I'm in LA but it ain't what it seems
 Some days the weight feels like ima break at the seams
 I'm a grown man this isn't little Jerry no more
 Had to expand I couldn't live in Derry no more
 I'm just a human I get tired of shit
 At night I lie in my bed and make a promise I won't die with regrets
 I'm saying
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't run away
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't act this way
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't run away
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't act this way
 Only me and my mama and the lord knows
 That I don't do it for award shows though
 I'm tryna book a couple more shows
 Anything that helps so the house don't get foreclosed
 Lows have been way too common
 Problem with my music is I'm way too honest
 How you gonna break it when I made you promise
 How am I supposed to stunt when I'm way too modest
 Ima get my confidence up on some Kanye shit
 Feeling like an Outkast on some Andre shit
 The big boy in the neighborhood
 I always told em I would do it if I say I would say I would
 They told me drink and smoke something that be good for the pain
 Till you rely on it then it ain't too good for the brain
 See I been dreaming on it dreaming on it
 Mama back home I know she leaning on me hear her saying
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't run away
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't act this way
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't run away
 Mama said son mama said son
 Mama said son don't act this way
