MIKE, Navy Blue - Like My Mama lyrics

If you really didn't need it, I denied it
Couldn’t see you niggas sleeping
I was grinding
Had the crib in Piccadilly, move my mind mint
Man, I say you niggas silly, different timing
But there's a nigga fucking with me
I should dodge him
I remember back in Philly, eating ramen
My head be clouded in the city
Hard to process they wanna see me in the
City with the mob ment'
Had me counting every penny, had the goblet
I stay around, these niggas envy
I’m the proudest
Chopped it with my brother living
He an outlet my success just make ‘em
Livid ‘cause they doubted

My papa hate to see me sitting
See me slouching
Like my mama, in my feelings, I be drowning
I be drowning, see me sitting
See me slouching
Like my mama, in my feelings, I be drowning

I be drowning, yeah, yeah
All this drama never sit straight with me
When I'm alone, know my sister'll miss me
All I've known is the scars that I've hidden
Ten days strong, now I'm lost, keep wishing
Now I'ma ball ‘cause my pop was in prison
Picking up my armor
Then I march to the rhythm
Among the trees, buried dreams, found wisdom
Start my day
Give thanks for my newfound vision
Blame it on the world
But my girl said I'm tripping
Son of Ògún, caught in this mysticism
It was all in the words and
The cards that were dealt
When the car hit the curb
Brother ain’t around
Papa in the wall, Michael in the ground
My father pray I check
My wrist is green and brown
Listen here, the sound
Brothers in the struggle
Glad we took a different route
Mama made a home
Father in a different house
We was in a drought
Had to make it work, had to make it work
When my brother passed, then came the hurt
Then came the hurt, then came the-
Had to make it work, had to make it work
Then came the hurt, then came the hurt
Then came the hurt, and then came the hurt
Yeah, then came the hurt

Something for your mind, your body
And your soul
It’s the power to arouse curiosity
The purpose the goal which one acts on
A journey of force
Hot like the sun, and wet like
