Mama's Always On Stage

Hey, brand new mama, I understand

It's hard as hell bein' a young mother and

You need support, your conscious told you not to abort

So to your child, you're a hero of some sort

But, hey, the worst is over

You're ready to do this

I got faith and your baby renewed this faith

That everything will be fine

Now an adult, no more youth time

What's up? (Anytime you need help, sister)

We'll be there, just give us a ring

We will help you to raise that king

Word to the mother 'cause it's a black thing

I respect you in a strong way

Super late nights 'cause your baby slept all day

But mama don't sleep, you're life's a turning page

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage, ah

Mama's always on stage

Hey, hey, let me guess, you're bored

Wanna get loose, attack the dance floor

Cool, I'll hold her, you have a good time

I'll keep your baby awake so baby sleeps after nine

This is reality, we need to tune our minds

Brothers talkin' revolution but leave their babies behind

Well, sister, he's a sucker, just leave him be

The revolution is now up to brothers like me

To step in 'cause your man stepped out

(The goal)

To raise these children, no doubt

So let's go to it and possibly

Bring a generation of nat's in the future

See, I respect you in a strong way

Super late nights 'cause your baby slept all day

But mama don't sleep, you're life's a turning page

Mama's always on stage

Keep up your strength now 'cause we must grow somehow

Baby mama is always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Here we go

Can't be a revolution without women

Can't be a revolution without children

I improved throughout my life

All of this just to soothe a wife

Brothers, wear your black clothes

Talk your five percent talk

Words of wisdom should be ways of wisdom

That's exactly how you must walk

Life's too short, your mission's too dire

Nurture another mind before yours expires

Pass it on, push it along

Like the brother said it in that one song

We respect you all the way

Late, late nights 'cause your baby slept all day

But mama gotta stay strong, carry it on

Hey, mama's on stage

On stage, mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's on stage

Mama's always on stage

Here we go
