Mama Told Me
Big Boi Lyrics

As the world shakes unharmed
Despite chaos, I remain unfazed.

Twan, calm in the middle of the storm bomb
I remain composed and steady amidst turmoil.

Flow tsunami, ring the alarm
My rap flow is powerful and unstoppable.

Big Boi for dummies come and get some huh, wisdom,
My lyrics provide valuable insights for anyone willing to listen.

Like yo back teeth or get the fuck on, like some bad chi
Either take my advice seriously or leave me alone.

Negative energy not tolerated
I refuse to engage with negativity.

You all about a dollar and I'm ?
You prioritize money, but I have other values and goals.

Freefalling, Tom Petty heartbreaker, living legend, rap scholar, art major
I am a multi-talented artist with a long-lasting impact on the music industry.

'Cause I make major art
My creativity and talent produce significant works.

Like Beethoven, Van Gogh, or Mozart so don't start
My artistry deserves respect and admiration, just like the great artists of the past.

Around these parts we reign supreme and stay Krispy Kreme clean
In my community, we are the best and aim to maintain a pristine image.

Blue jeans, Jordans Number 3's, that's important
Fashion is significant to my personal style and identity.

Be careful how you play your cards (That's what my mama told me)
My mother warned me to be wise and cautious in my decisions.

Be true to self and you'll go far (That's what mama told me)
My mother advised me to remain authentic in order to achieve success.

Try not to break too many hearts (That's what mama told me)
My mother encouraged me to be considerate of others' feelings.

I always knew I'd be a star (That's what mama told me)
My mother instilled in me a sense of confidence and belief in my abilities.

Mama used to say take your time
My mother advised me to be patient.

Well I'm a pickpocket when I design rhymes
My lyrics are skillfully crafted and clever.

Every little step I take like Bob Brown
I am deliberate and intentional in my actions, like Bobby Brown's famous song.

And It's so profound that when I throw those nouns
My lyrics are impactful and meaningful.

We gon' get low low down until we get back up while everything gravy, taters mashed up
We will enjoy ourselves and have a good time despite any obstacles or difficulties.

You know I keep a full plate
I have many responsibilities and obligations.

And a full thing of hot ones, throw away 38's
I have a lot of firearms, but have discarded those that no longer serve me.

But everything's straight, Bleed, shit
Despite any challenges, I am doing well.

I got everything I can need
I have all that I require to be fulfilled and successful.

Me, boy, I'm everything you can't see
I have many hidden talents and qualities that are not immediately apparent.

Like three blind mice, on the chase of some great cheese
I, like the three mice, am searching for something valuable and desirable.

And Cheddar Man say he got some great trees, say he serve me and my nigga Three G
A drug dealer named Cheddar Man has offered to provide me and my associate Three G with high-quality marijuana.

Butt tees, Jordans, number 5, you niggas boring
My fashion sense is unique and interesting compared to those around me.

'Cause I travel like a rocket, I do
I move quickly and intentionally, like a rocket in motion.

Mind riddle every socket for you
My words and rhymes stimulate and engage the listener.

I sway on the edge of the lightning (Yeah)
I live on the edge of danger and risk-taking.

Magnetic, can't stop
My personality and energy are attractive and captivating.

Just floating won't drop
I am floating and gliding through life, not weighed down by struggle or hardship.

I slip (I slip) I slide (I slide)
Sometimes I falter or make mistakes, but I keep moving forward.

Back up the ride
I recover from setbacks and continue progressing.

I'm skippin' every mountaintop
I overcome every obstacle with ease and grace.

I'm reachin' for the highest high
I am constantly striving to achieve greater heights and success.

That's what mama told me
Throughout my life, my mother has provided wisdom and guidance.

Mama told me
My mother's advice has been invaluable to me.

Auu!
An exclamation of enthusiasm or excitement.
