Mama Said - Aaron Cole

Sometimes I be wishing I could take it back to days when days were simple

Where all I had to worry bout was school and if I had a pimple

Now everybody looking up to me like I’m God

And I’m tryna be the man but I can’t put up no facade

It’s a sacrifice out here leading

Tryna patch people’s wounds when yourself still bleeding

Everything falls down I wonder who see us

Boom boom pow like onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia I been on my job

Scary thing is I been feeling like Tom

Lord is my shepherd I been reading in Psalms (yeah)

Need to feel God in my feet and my palms

I feel like I’m overprotective because I’m scared of getting hurt

Cause it’s like time and time again the hurt is getting worse

I feel I’m cursed cause people lied to me so much I can’t relax

Every time I’m tryna level up the devil on my back

Cause we been down before, yeah I ain’t know

It ain’t nothing like I been through before

We gon' make it out believe me

Cause He ain’t brought me this far just to leave me

That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said

That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said

That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said

Cause He ain’t brought me this far just to leave me

That’s what mama said

Satan bringing up my past when my past is past (yeah)

I can’t let my story bring me down He brought me through that

(brought me through)

But what’s done in the dark comes to the light I promise

That’s the realest He pull grace from a Big Ben like He rocking with the

Steelers

On top of that my homeboy passed last week

Long live 22 that’s how fast life be

Then I step out to a show and get a call from my sis

She said a dude hung himself in school he only in the sixth

It’s my job to bring this hope, it’s my job to walk this rope

It’s my job to always stay low, it’s my job to save these souls

So I can’t give up now

Mary Mary it’s a sound

Praise for life like I’m Claude

Be still and know He God

Cause we been down before, yeah I ain’t know

It ain’t nothing like I been through before

We gon' make it out believe me

Cause He ain’t brought me this far just to leave me

That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said

That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said

That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said

That’s what mama said, that’s what mama said

Cause He ain’t brought me this far just to leave me

That’s what mama said
