Mama Said
Six Gun Sal Lyrics

Mama said you can't be a man
Mama warned that without self-worth, one cannot truly become a mature, responsible person

if you ain't worth the salt in your skin
If you don't have the intrinsic value and strength within you, you won't amount to much

she said don't associate yourself, with a man ain't got no kind of plan
Mama advised against surrounding yourself with people who lack direction and purpose in their lives

Mama said don't grow up to be yo daddy
Mama cautioned against repeating the mistakes and shortcomings of your father

go make something of yourself
Strive to achieve success and significance in life

don't want you to suffer this life
Mama wants to protect you from experiencing the hardships and struggles of life

just reach.... for those stars
Aim high and pursue your dreams and aspirations

See my mama she worked real hard
Acknowledge the immense effort and dedication Mama put into her work

raising children all alone
Taking on the responsibility of nurturing and supporting her children without any assistance

two jobs and a busted ass car
Juggling multiple occupations while dealing with limited resources and a worn-out vehicle

well mama you must of done did good
Complimenting Mama on her achievements and acknowledging her success in raising her children

look at us now, look at us now
Reflecting on the progress and accomplishments of the family despite their challenging circumstances

Now I look back from time to time
Occasionally, I reflect on the past and reminisce

at the days we struggled so hard
Remembering the difficult times when we faced extreme challenges and obstacles

my kin stayed true to our roots
My family remained loyal to our heritage and traditions

and never ever gave in
We never surrendered or allowed difficulties to overpower us

So if you want it bad enough then follow
If you have a strong desire to achieve something, then pursue it with determination

The path you were shown
Embrace the guidance and teachings you received in order to navigate your journey

live life, love hard
Embrace and fully experience life with passion and a deep capacity for love

and nothing is more important than your blood
The bond and connection with your family is of utmost significance

See my mama she worked real hard
Recognize the unwavering dedication and tireless efforts of Mama

raising children all alone
Single-handedly nurturing and guiding her children without a partner

two jobs and a busted ass car
Balancing two occupations while coping with a damaged vehicle

Cause look at us now, look at us now
The family has achieved considerable success and thrived despite the hardships

Whoa ohhhh ohhhh
Expressing a sense of admiration and awe for the current situation

So looking back
Reflecting on the past

say you done your job
Acknowledging that Mama fulfilled her responsibilities

Mama, be proud
Encouraging Mama to take pride in her accomplishments

We are who we are
Embracing and accepting our true selves

and we reached those stars
We have successfully achieved our dreams and goals

See my mama she worked real hard
Observing the immense effort and dedication Mama put into her work

raising children all alone
Nurturing and supporting her children without any assistance from others

two jobs and a busted ass car
Handling multiple occupations while dealing with a worn-out vehicle

Cause, look at us now, look at us now, look at us now
The family's current achievements and progress are truly remarkable

Mama said so
Mama's advice and guidance were accurate

look at us now
The current situation proves the validity of Mama's words

mama told us so
Reiterating that Mama's instructions turned out to be true

Mama did good
Mama succeeded in raising her children and setting them on a path to success
