Mama Said
JYRA feat. Kye Sones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was told many times just to focus on the life that I′ve been given.
& If someone's in your way you just smile and you just say all is forgiven.

You need to learn to see rejection it′s not a thing it's no reflection of your makeup.
Oh I would sit there I would listen and every word id let it sink in I remember.

My Mama Said - be careful what you wish for
My Mama said - be careful who you love
That's what my Mama said
I was told love your health over any of your wealth it′s only paper.
And you need to live a life not just work untill you die you must remember that.
When ya talked I always listened to you
Yeah when ya talked I always listened to you
My Mama Said - be careful what you wish for
My Mama said - be careful who you love
That′s what my Mama said

Ohhhhh yeah woooooo yeahhhh oooooooo

I was told many times just to focus on the life that I've been given...





That′s what my Mama said.
That's what my Mama said...
