MAMA'S EYES

(Ooh-whoa!) (I am who I ams) (Love it or leave it, baby) While you reminisce, I've been gone Two years and the fortnight I'm friends with the low-lives I'm drunk tryna get high (mmm) Still waiting to exhale Come out of the shadow Five feet, barely three quarters In your Stilettos Like pineapple Mentos Your favorite confection I'm sweet like your perfume Strong like your mind is Your skin dripping richness Tend to your flowers without a mention You won your wars You laid down your sword Then gave me the weapon You say, "Keep my promises", but I don't I should probably listen more, yeah, mother, I know I just wanna be dancing again, I know I'm to blame, I gotta heal these scared on my own I should learn to listen more, yeah, mother, I know I just wanna be dancing again, I know Don't it feel good? Don't it feel right? When you come home to Home to mama's eyes Don't you feel good? Full up with pride Seeing yourself in Self in mama's eyes (I am who I ams) You are every woman Whitney and Chaka No one can ever Be put above ya (mmm) I always believe in you Open my eyes if you say it's alright Now, I'm here at Heathrow Sunken and see through, tryna catch my flight Hush now, she's speaking Preaching her sermon (mmm) The golden rule is never to lose yourself for a person Bebe and Cece Play in the kitchen Say mama, you in daddy's hoodie Swinging your hips while you do the dishes You say, "Keep my promises", but I don't I should probably listen more, yeah, mother, I know I just wanna be dancing again, I know Don't it feel good? Don't it feel right? When you come home to Home to mama's eyes Don't you feel good? Full up with pride Seeing yourself in Self in mama's eyes (Love it or leave it, baby) (Ooh-whoa!)
