Mama

I'm the one who sings their lullabies I'm the one who wipes their tears they cry I'm bible-readin', Jesus-preachin' on the in and outside But God help you if you ever cross the line Back off my babies, you can't replace me Don't go thinkin' you know better I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin' I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama Because I'm Mama Everybody's got their cheap two cents Stranger, teachers, even the government I'm not one to make a scene But your crazy is my gasoline Just try me and you'll find out what I mean Back off my babies, you can't replace me Don't go thinkin' you know better I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin' I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama I'm the keeper and protector I'm the frontline, the defender I'm the comfort and the fighter Like a Mama bear in the wild A little pretty, pretty deadly I ain't lookin' for a fight but I'm ready I'm the grit and the grace So, don't get in my way! Back off my babies, you can't replace me Don't go thinkin' you know better I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin' I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama Because I'm Mama Oh, I'm Mama Back off my babies I'm Mama Because I'm Mama
