Mama
Betty Wright

Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, can you hear me?
Oh oh
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, can you hear me?
Oh oh oh

May eleven special, I was born in God’s favor
Mama gave birth in tears through that hard labor
I just wanna thank you, ain’t no way I could repay you
Strongest woman that I know, you’ve been my motivator
And just know I’ll be everything that you said I would
Only focus is hoping that all my family good
A lot of ups and downs, a lot of hard times
A lot of cloudy days, prayin' for that sun to shine
I was hard headed, granddaddy diabetic
Lord bless her soul, granny kept the food ready
Five kids, three jobs, how you ever did it?
Tryna make a livin, hustle got me reminiscin'
Daddy chose lust over all us
Tell me what’s the type of man who never kept in touch
How do you feel? Mama showed me the real
Can’t recover them years, too much emotion to feel
We was covered in bills, mama takin' them pills
Got er stressin' for days, then why the fuck ain’t you here
It’s why I love her to death
She was there when they left
Prayin' for me every day, Lord honor my steps
I hope you hear my Lord, if yo mama’s around
Gotta cherish the love, gotta savor the smile
Never want for nothing, gotta keep it 100
You are the epitome of a strong black woman,
You hear me?

Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, can you hear me?
Oh
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, can you hear me?
Hear me? Hear me? Hear me? Hear me?

Dear mama I just wanna say I love you
And if you left today I don’t know what I’d ever do
Sayin this boy ain’t nothing like yo mama
Through the road blocks, fake friends and the drama
Mo girlfriends and a chick named karma
Real eyes realize I could call on her
Any time of day, any time of night
Been there from the start up on this journey called life
Now I’m twenty four and grown, tourin' doin' shows
Thankful for it all, know it’s been a bumpy road
As I'm starin at my Rollie, started reminiscin'
Boy my bad ass, used to run from all them woopings
But I understand, made me a better man
You hear me mama told you would never want again
I put my pain on the beat, and fed it all to the streets
I’m a believer in me and now we livin' the dream
Oh Lord, a black boy up outta Deerfield
Who’da thought that I’d be countin' up a couple mill?
All on TV and on magazines with label deals
Talkin bout the struggle, start to give a nigga chills
God and some prayers, people still hate
Wasn’t for my mama, don’t know where I’d be today
Lord have mercy
Don’t know where I’d be today

Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Mama, can you hear me?
Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Mama, can you hear me?
Like mama's love
Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Mama, can you hear me?
I hear you baby
Son, see no matter how bad, no matter how sad
No matter how mad
Son I'm just a phone call away

When all your friends
all your false friends are gone
You know mama’s gonna stay
And stay and stay and stay ‘cause I'm mama
Yea, that’s how we do
That’s how we do

Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Mama, can you hear me?
Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Like mama's love, like mama's love

Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Mama, can you hear me?
Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Ain’t no love like mama’s love
Like mama's love, like mama's love
Mama, can you hear me?
I hear you baby
I'm talkin' bout mama
I'm talkin' bout mama

See when your friends tell you how
They gon' show up and come
And ain't nobody there but god and mama
For your support I know you know about a mama
Oh you can count on mama all day, all night, anyway
Mama
I wanna talk about a mama
You know what I’m talkin' about
Mama, can you hear me?
Mama
Mama, can you hear me?
