August Alsina - Mama lyrics

Mama said stay out of trouble
Mama said don't be a fool
Mama said stay in somebody's
Church, mama said, boy stay in school
Mama told me I better get home
Before the street lights come on
Mama always used to cry when I left her
Maybe 'cause daddy was gone

I still remember the lessons
My mama taught me
But now it's my turn to show
You how far they brought me

Mama I made it, ah yeah, mama I made it
I could've been locked up
I could've been gunned down
But I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now
'Cause mama I made it and I
Hope I made you proud

Mama said stay humble, mama said stay true
Mama said boy
Keep that drama far away from you
Mama told me keep working
Busting on to the future
Mama told me she lost one and
She ain't tryna lose two
But I had to find my way
And I had to get my own
Mama ain't always right
But she never led me wrong
I don't know if I'ma make it big
Mama but I made it out
I know I didn't make it easy
I know you had your doubts

I still remember the lessons
My mama taught me
But now it's my turn to show
You how far they brought me

Mama I made it, ah yeah, mama I made it
I could've been locked up
I could've been gunned down
But I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now
'Cause mama I made it and I
Hope I made you proud
Mama I made it, ah yeah, mama I made it
I could've been locked up
I could've been gunned down
But I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now
'Cause mama I made it and I
Hope I made you proud
