Look Ma No Hands
Talia Stewart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mama, mama look, no hands
They said I'd sink, but I just swim
Don't I make the view look nice from the shore
(Sho-o-ore)
Mama they reprimand
I do, I don't, I still beat them
Imma do it how I do, watch me roll
Talk my talk
Walk my walk
You got a man, I'm your muse
Why you talk, why you walk
Like you wanna see me lose
Why I'm gonna love the lies
Don't have shit to do with you
Play yourself
Go on shoot your shot
Moment you can't wait 'til you stop hoping that I lose
Mama, mama look, no hands
They said I'd sink, but I just swim
Don't I make the view look nice from the shore
(Sho-o-ore)
Mama they reprimand
I do, I don't, I still beat them
Imma do it how I do, watch me roll
Knock, knock, knock, I'm coming in
Make sure to hold the door for a sis
Don't touch a hair
Don't tie my wrists
These bloody shoes were made to kick
'Cause I'm a monster
I'm the man
I'm the one who's in the ring
Don't be gettin' so close
I'm gonna live or die tryin'
Don't play me, that was it
No I do my own thing
Call me queen, but know that I'm the king
Mama, mama look, no hands
They said I'd sink, but I just swim
Don't I make the view look nice from the shore
(Sho-o-ore)
Mama they reprimand
I do, I don't, I still beat them
Imma do it how I do, watch me roll
Mama, mama look, no hands
They said I'd sink, but I just swim
Don't I make the view look nice from the shore
(Sho-o-ore)
Mama they reprimand




I do, I don't, I still beat them
Imma do it how I do, watch me roll
