Mama Loves Me - Maino

Look, picture you dreaming just to wake up to a nightmare

Picture you wishing but nobody in this life cares

The sound of pistols still ringing in my right ear

From a place where life ain’t worth a pair of Nike Airs

Getting tired, just to cover up the pain I’m in

Grab the mallet just to feel like I’m Jermaine again

Ghetto boys on them corner streets made us men

Forgive us all, it was the hunger that just made us sin

Sacrifices, feeling Christless, mornings like this, ducking indictments

Watching my homie just bleed till he was lifeless

Think about my cousin Doub on nights like this

Mama loves me, mama loves me

So why the fuck would I just let these niggas judge me

Couldn’t walk inside my shoes if you was me

And you can put that on the heavens, that’s above me

Yeah, Papi say he want his brick back (what)

But we just split it like a Kit Kat

My homie told me once you take, you never give back

And what you reap is what you sow, you got to live that

So I’m addicted to this life, until the death of me

In the club letting strippers get the best of me

My dog gone from a bullet that was meant for me

Gotta live with it, can’t quit it, it’s my destiny

Getting rich and chasing bitches, drinking liquor

Count figures, taking bitches with my hittas

Hurt they feelings as I pull up on these niggas

With the same shit they see me with on Instagram and Twitter

So it’s death before dishonour

Yes we turned out well for some kids that had no fathers

From the prison cages where my friends can’t see their daughters

Worrying on the blocks, I was shooting on them corners, but

Mama loves me, mama loves me

So why the fuck would I just let these niggas judge me

Couldn’t walk inside my shoes if you was me

And even if you tried, you couldn’t budge me

I wonder if they listen when I’m gone

Who gon' pay attention and correct me when I’m wrong

Feeling magnificent, they got me in a zone

Caught up in my suffering so this is not a song

This is, this is my life on these Pro Tools

From the start baby I relay the most ghouls

We need to stick together like it’s no room

Mothers lost so our black babies feelling so doomed

Day dreaming in that Rolls Royce

Roley gleaming, can’t believe I was a lost boy

It was simple, either starve, we had no choice

Screaming out, we had to write the wrong in my own voice

Help me see the bigger picture

Got a letter from my homie said he miss niggas

It’s crazy how the system is designed to twist niggas

So I try to use my life to inspire and lift niggas but

Mama loves me, mama loves me

So why the fuck would I just let these niggas judge me

Couldn’t walk inside my shoes if you was me

So you think I really care if you didn’t trust me

(K.O.B bitch)
