August Alsina - Mama lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama said stay out of trouble, mama said don't be a fool Mama said stay in somebody's church, mama said boy stay in school Mama told me I better get home, before the street lights come on Mama always used to cry when I left her, maybe cause daddy was gone [Pre-Hook] I still remember the lessons my mama taught me But now it's my turn to show you how far they brought me [Hook] Mama I made it, ah yeah, mama I made it I could of been locked up, I could of been gunned down But I found my own way, I ain't gonna stop now Cause mama I made it and I hope I made you proud [Verse 2] Mama said stay humble, mama said stay true Mama said boy keep that drama far away from you Mama told me keep working, busting on to the future Mama told me she lost one and she ain't tryna lose two But I had to find my way, and I had to get my own Mama ain't always right, but she never led me wrong I don't know if I'mma make it big, mama but I made it out I know I didn't make it easy, I know you had your doubts [Pre-Hook] I still remember the lessons my mama taught me But now it's my turn to show you how far they brought me [Hook] Mama I made it, ah yeah, mama I made it I could of been locked up, I could of been gunned down But I found my own way, I ain't gonna stop now Cause mama I made it and I hope I made you proud Mama I made it, ah yeah, mama I made it I could of been locked up, I could of been gunned down But I found my own way, I ain't gonna stop now Cause mama I made it and I hope I made you proud
