Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: x2]
Mama in the kitchen, mama in the kitchen
My mama in the kitchen, whippin, we flippin
Mama in the kitchen, mama in the kitchen
My mama in the kitchen, whippin, we flippin

Ayo, I know you like it, like it, I'm winnin
Call me the lioness, I'm killin killin competition
I'm the one that you've been waitin on, so thrilling
You should get a taste of this, so filling
I'm in the kitchen with the gumbo
Got bars, chyeah, dumb flow
I just stepped just a force 1
I got a life huh, you should've bought one

[Chorus: x2]

Them niggas start starin, it's beyond this galaxy
You wanna go to my reality... show
I'm fresh up out the kitchen
Now pay attention what the world been missin
You they say I'm the antidote, better yet the cure
Feel the potency cuz the product is pure
Runnin runnin through your veins, guaranteed you get addicted
Constantly craving this audio prescription 'cause

[Chorus: x2]

Ayo, I know you like it, like it, I'm it
You might be in the building but I've built this shit
You just a visitor, I picked it out brick by brick
Call me the architect of yo future, not a sitcom
You said you ain't seen me often
Well, most of my currency is foreign
And I stay up stay up on a plane
Really don't matter, you could never ever touch my lane 'cause





[Chorus: x2]
