Mama's Always Onstage
Arrested Development

Brand new mama, I understand

It's hard as hell to be a young mother and

You need support, your conscious told you not to abort

So to your child you're a hero of some sort


But, the worst is over, you're ready to do this

I got faith and your baby renewed this faith

And everything will be fine

Now an adult, no more youth time, wassup?


Anytime you need help sister

We'll be there just give us a ring

We will help you to raise that king

Word to the mother 'cause it's a black thing


And I respect you in a strong way

Super late nights 'cause your baby slept all day

But mama don't sleep, your life's a turning page

Mama's always on stage, mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage, aah, mama's always on stage


Hey, hey, let me guess, you're bored

Wanna get loose, attack the dance floor

Cool, I'll hold her, you have a good time

I'll keep your baby awake so baby sleeps after nine


This is reality, we need to turn our minds

Brothers talking revolution but leave their babies behind

Well sister, he's a sucker, just leave 'em be

The revolution is now up to brothers like me


To step in 'cause your man stepped out

The goal to raise the children, no doubt

So let's go to it and possibly

Bring a generation of nat's in the future, see


I respect you in a strong way,

Super late nights 'cause your baby slept all day

But mama don't sleep, your life's a turning page

Mama's always on stage, keep up your strength now

'Cause we must grow somehow, I mean, mama is always on stage


Come on, mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage


Can't be a revolution without women

Can't be a revolution without children

I improved throughout my life

All of this just to soothe a wife

Brothers, wear your black clothes


Talk your 5 percent talk

Words of wisdom should be ways of wisdom

That's exactly how you must walk

Life's too short, your mission's too dire

Nurture another mind before yours expires


Pass it on, push it along

Like the brother said it in that one song

We respect you all the way

Late, late nights 'cause your baby slept all day

But mama's got to stay strong, carry it on, hey


Mama's on stage, mama's always on stage

Aah, mama's always on stage

And your mama's always on stage

Aah, break it down


Get down, come on, come on, get down

Get down, come on, get down

Get down, come on, come on, get down

Get down, get down, come on


Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

And the men in the house scream, alright
