Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Many college students have gone to college
And gotten hooked on drugs
Marijuana and alcohol
Listen, stop trying to be somebody else
Don't try to be someone else
Be yourself and know that that's good enough
[Verse 2]
Don't try to be someone else
Don't try to be like someone else
Don't try to act like someone else
Be yourself, be secure with yourself
Rely and trust upon your own decisions
On your own beliefs
[Verse 3]
You understand the things that I've taught you
Not to drink alcohol, not to use drugs
Don't use that cocaine or marijuana because that stuff is highly addictive
When people become weed-heads
They become sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned
Sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned
That's all marijuana does to you
[Verse 4]
Okay, this is mom
Unless you're taking it under a doctor's, um, control
Then it's regulated
Do not smoke marijuana
Do not consume alcohol
Do not get in the car with someone who is inebriated
This is mom
Call me, bye
