Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were my lifeline yeah
Remember the days when I would turn to you
Forever divide
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma took the phone at my handy go
Momma break her knee goddamn woe
Momma used to beat my black asshole
Cigarette stains playing my shit
Happy go right happy go left
Just to fortify living in debt
Credit card scams just to pay rent
25 kids all in one home
Way before the iPhone came along
Back in '96 when the time
It's Nintendo sick and Genesis (lit!)
I ain't go enough room in this bitch
I ain't go enough food in my whip
If I die tonight I'm sorry that I spent
All these sack of mints tryna be rich
Riding my [?] singing my song
17 tracks all for my mom
Sisqó was my favourite singer with the thongs
Feelin like I'm bout to turn it all night long
Crashing on the stage fell into your arms
Momma told me all the shit I did wrong
Momma sing a Stevie Wonder I'm born
Playing Superstition all night long
Pick up the pieces and pick your poison blood
Nothing in this world compares to sweet love
Hand on my chest sun beaming green
Why do wake yunna momma save me
Always we would pray
You were my lifeline yeah
Remember the days when I would turn to you
Forever divide
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna -
Kiss my lil bro told him momma gotta stand this murder
Weighing heavy on my conscious
Dear lord I see reflections in this bottle
Closer to the ledge push me and I'll topple
Gang gang gang momma be the squad
I'm a golden boy tell me [?]
I got drugs in my passenger dough
Fuckin with the olders I was on Row
Living out dreams ain't what it seems
Missing funerals I've been down weeks
Suicide depression heavy on my conscious
But I'm only human and I love you momma
Always we would pray
You were my lifeline yeah
Remember the days when I would turn to you
Forever divide
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
The lyrics to Rejjie Snow Micah Freeman's song "Greatness" touch on several themes of life, including struggles, love, family, and hope. The song appears to be a tribute to the artist's mother, who was always there to offer words of advice and encouragement during the artist's lowest moments. The song begins with the artist expressing his reliance on his mother's guidance and how she was his "lifeline" during difficult times. The chorus, "Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine," is repeated to highlight the influence of the mother's comforting words.
The second verse delves into the struggles of the artist's childhood, from the absence of a father figure to the financial struggles of his family. The artist describes how his mother had to take on a lot of responsibilities alone, including answering questions about the birds and the bees. The verse also touches on sensitive topics such as domestic violence and the mother's tough love. Despite all these challenges, the artist finds solace in music, particularly the 90s hits of Sisqó and Stevie Wonder.
The final verse reflects on the artist's current state of mind, where he talks about the burden of guilt and past mistakes that weigh him down. However, he ultimately finds comfort in his mother's love, which reminds him that he is only human and capable of change. The song ends on a positive note, with the artist still seeking his mother's guidance and love.

Always we would pray
We used to pray together all the time
You were my lifeline yeah
You were my support system and kept me going
Remember the days when I would turn to you
I always relied on you during difficult times
Forever divide
We will always be separated, but connected through love
Momma you told me that everything's gonna be fine
You reassured me that everything was going to be okay
Birds and the bees papa never told
My father never talked to me about sex education
Momma took the phone at my handy go
Mom always answered the phone when I called
Momma break her knee goddamn woe
Mom injured her knee and it was hard on us
Momma used to beat my black asshole
Mom used to physically discipline me
Cigarette stains playing my shit
Cigarette smoke and stains were always present while I made music
Happy go right happy go left
Life was unpredictable, but we tried to stay positive
Just to fortify living in debt
We had to work hard and struggle to make ends meet
Credit card scams just to pay rent
We had to resort to illegal means to pay rent
25 kids all in one home
We had a lot of siblings living together in one house
Way before the iPhone came along
This was before smartphones existed
Back in '96 when the time
In the year 1996
It's Nintendo sick and Genesis (lit!)
We played Nintendo and Sega Genesis and loved it
I ain't go enough room in this bitch
I don't have enough space in my car
I ain't go enough food in my whip
I don't have enough food in my car
If I die tonight I'm sorry that I spent
If I were to die, I regret wasting time and money
All these sack of mints tryna be rich
I was trying to become wealthy, but wasted resources
Riding my [?] singing my song
I enjoyed singing while driving
17 tracks all for my mom
I made a lot of music dedicated to my mother
Sisqó was my favourite singer with the thongs
I loved Sisqó and his music
Feelin like I'm bout to turn it all night long
I had the energy to keep working and pursue my dreams
Crashing on the stage fell into your arms
I had a moment of failure, but you were there to comfort me
Momma told me all the shit I did wrong
Mom was honest with me about my mistakes
Momma sing a Stevie Wonder I'm born
Mom loved Stevie Wonder and shared that with me
Playing Superstition all night long
We listened to Superstition by Stevie Wonder for a long time
Pick up the pieces and pick your poison blood
We had to clean up our mess and make tough choices
Nothing in this world compares to sweet love
There's no greater feeling than being loved
Hand on my chest sun beaming green
I'm enjoying nature and soaking up the sun
Why do wake yunna momma save me
Why did you wake me up, Mom? You saved me
Kiss my lil bro told him momma gotta stand this murder
I gave my little brother a kiss and told him I have to handle this situation
Weighing heavy on my conscious
I feel guilty about something
Dear lord I see reflections in this bottle
I'm drinking and seeing my reflection in the bottle
Closer to the ledge push me and I'll topple
I'm feeling restless and unstable
Gang gang gang momma be the squad
We're a strong family unit
I'm a golden boy tell me [?]
I have potential and promise
I got drugs in my passenger dough
I'm carrying drugs with me
Fuckin with the olders I was on Row
I was hanging out with older people in my neighborhood
Living out dreams ain't what it seems
Pursuing your dreams is harder than it appears
Missing funerals I've been down weeks
I've missed funerals and been grieving for weeks
Suicide depression heavy on my conscious
I'm depressed and suicidal
But I'm only human and I love you momma
Despite everything, I'm human and I love my mother
