Mama used to tell me
If
you wanna keep pressing on My mama used to tell me
Keep on fighting,
stay strong My mama used to tell me
Don't give up, keep
holding on My mama used to tell me
Son,
you gotta be strong I was raised in a city that was controlled
And if you fell in a hole,
there was no hope And the only one to make it was a sad dope
And a nigga stayed high just to try to
cope Mama used to tell me get my mind right
And if I ever paid attention,
I would shine bright And even though I did everything on my own
She always gave me words to try to keep me strong
Now
when I take a look back
And see how far I've come I know it had to be you Who stayed
by my side When I was going back and forth to jail Pushing to
get now I know I made you mad cause I was bringing you to hell
But I wanna thank you
Because you never changed your mind
Mama used to tell me
If you wanna keep pressing on
My mama used to tell me Keep on fighting,
stay strong
My mama used to tell me
Don't give up, keep holding on
I can remember I ain't have nothing but some dusty shoes
Mama came through,
worked hard and paid them duties
Told me how much I've done and I should put God first
And everything that I want would come and it would quench my thirst
My mama said you and your brothers y'all need to stick together
There might be great clouds but with
prayer you can change the weather
She told me put my fist up,
don't let them bully you Pull out that
.45 cause ain't now nigga bulletproof
Mama said that I make it,
mama said that I shine The mountain might
be high son but it ain't nothing to climb
Motivated my thoughts from all the words she said,
prayers she fed If I ask,
she'll give me her last leg
My mama used to tell me Keep clapping and rapping,
moving and shaking Breaking these boys
hearts and facting to another spec
Before I be another sneeze or a geezer
I'm in rhythm with mama's sad and pleaser
My mama used to tell me If you wanna keep pressing on
My mama used to tell me
Keep on fighting, stay strong
My mama used to tell me
Don't give up, keep holding on
My mama used to tell me
Sonny you gotta be strong
