MOMMA TALK
Tyler the Creator Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

His daddy fine, I'm fine, what you thought?
Shit, his daddy fine
Nah his daddy, his momma fine, bitch
What you mean? He got his looks from me
You better tell this ho, this my nigga though
My ride or die, I'd kill a motherfucker over this one right here, nigga
I'd stand in front of a bullet, on God, over this one
My son used to record me beatin' biches ass, facts
I didn't give a fuck
I, I bossed up on teachers, principals, mamas, kids
I didn't give a fu-, am I lying?
Nah, you have no reason to
No, if you fuck with my kids
I'll beat up a kids over my kid, okay?
This little boy used to run, he was scared
I said, "Go get your bitch-ass mama"
I, I would beat your whole family and didn't give a fuck
They used to be like "Tyler, Tyler mama crazy, Tyler mama crazy"
Yup, don't fuck with my kids
Tyler would be like, "Get 'em, mom"
She be like, "No, don't do it"
Tyler would be like "Get em, mom, get 'em"
"No, mom, don't do it"




I'd be like, "Shut yo' ass up"
She cryin' "No"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tyler The Creator's "Momma Talk" reveal an intimate conversation between two people about parenting and violence. The first spoken part suggests that someone is questioning the attractiveness of Tyler's father or himself, to which the singer responds defiantly that his son got his looks from him. The conversation then shifts to a different topic where the singer declares her unconditional love for her son, stating that she is willing to stand in front of a bullet for him. She also reveals a dark aspect of her past, claiming that she used to beat up people and that her son used to record it on tape, showing no remorse. The exchange ends with Tyler urging his mother to fight back against someone or a situation that has caused her distress, but she resists and starts crying.


Overall, "Momma Talk" reveals the challenges and complexities of familial relationships, especially in regards to mothers and sons. The conversation portrayed in the song highlights themes of love, protection, violence and the lengths that parents will go to in order to protect their children. It also sheds light on the effects of toxic parenting and reveals the reality that some parents do not always have their children's best interests in mind.
