Mama
Ah
When I was 18 my mama went in my closet, found ten thousand cash (yeah)
Now I got her transit number, send her twenty racks (racks)
Uh, Future said you ain't gotta worry about the past
Gettin' money nonstop, I hope it last
Whatever she need, I'm buying, she ain't gotta ask (she ain't gotta ask)
Even though she ain't perfect, I know that she got my back
No matter what I spend, I don't think I could pay her back
Mama, mama, mama
I just made a little change, mama (just a little bit)
I just got a little fame, mama
But my heart won't ever change, mama
Mama, mama, mama (mama)
I just made a little change, mama (just a little bit)
I just got a little fame, mama
But my heart won't ever change, mama (I won't ever change)
Said she don't care about Cha-ne-ne, she just want to see her baby (her baby)
I ain't been home in a while, the city kinda crazy
Blow a bag on you, don't try tellin' me to save it
She ain't got a clue about what these labels pay me
I was going to get it, I told you I ain't lazy
I know I been buying you lots of bags lately
In the store, they ask who it's for, "A special lady?"
It ain't for my girl, it's for the one that made me
When I was 18 my mama went in my closet, found ten thousand cash
Now I got her transit number, send her twenty racks (Racks)
Uh, Future said you ain't gotta worry about the past
Gettin' money nonstop, I hope it last
Shopping the whole day, she be surprised my credit card ain't maxed (Unlimited)
Whatever she need, I'm buying, she ain't gotta ask (She ain't gotta ask)
Even though she ain't perfect, I know that she got my back (Got my back)
No matter what I spend, I don't think I could pay her back
Mama, mama, mama
I just made a little change, mama (just a little bit)
I just got a little fame, mama
But my heart won't ever change, mama
Mama, mama, mama (mama)
I just made a little change, mama (just a little bit)
I just got a little fame, mama
But my heart won't ever change, mama
Why you cryin', mama? (Why you cryin'?)
I know my life has been surprising, mama
You say the old me is dyin', mama (mama)
Say I'm happy, you know that I'm lying, mama (yeah)
You gotta tell me why you cryin', mama
These different pills that you been finding, mama
You worried that your son is dying, mama
Say I'm happy, you know that I'm lying, mama
She don't want no presents, she just want my presence
She retire, I'll give her a mil' like "What's a pension?"
All she tell me is save money and to count all my blessings
Frequent shopping, now my closet got designer sections
(Mama)
She told me stay humble, but I want it all
I'm shooting all the shots for all the times I couldn't ball
Ashamed at how I been livin', I don't wanna take your call
My fam that turned they back on me, I don't miss them at all
Fuck 'em all, yeah, yeah, fuck 'em all
They want me to fall, I just stack my money tall
Cut 'em off, yeah, cut 'em off
We'll never be the same, I'm cut from a different cloth
Why you cryin', mama? (Why you cryin'?)
I know my life has been surprising, mama
You say the old me is dyin', mama (mama)
Say I'm happy, you know that I'm lying, mama
You gotta tell me why you cryin', mama (why you cryin'?)
These different pills that you been finding, mama (why you cryin'?)
You worried that your son is dying, mama (why you cryin'?)
Say I'm happy, you know that I'm lying, mama (why you cryin'?)
Why you cryin'?
(Why you cryin'?)
