Momma (feat. Earl St. Clair)

Momma tried to raise me right

She did everything she can to try to make me a man

Never had a hungry night

But I was still a problem and they didn't know how to solve 'em

Momma couldn't show me the thangs I'd go through

So my daddy had to show me the belt

And he told me that the world is a whole lot harder

So it's better him than somebody else

I said, momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong, yeah (But I came out wrong)

Momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong (But I came out wrong)

Yeah, momma tried to keep me safe in a bubble

But I could never keep myself outta trouble

I said, momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong, (But I came out wrong)

Momma tried to raise me right

They said, That boy ain't that clever, she told him, Never say never

Taught me the wrong from the right

She raised me as a winner, but still I wound up a sinner

Momma couldn't show me the thangs I'd go through

So my daddy had to show me the belt

And he told me that the world is a whole lot harder

So it's better him than somebody else

I said, momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong, yeah (But I came out wrong)

Momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong, (But I came out wrong)

Yeah, momma tried to keep me safe in a bubble

But I could never keep myself outta trouble

I said, momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong, (But I came out wrong)

I said, momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong, yeah (But I came out wrong)

Momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong, (But I came out wrong)

Yeah, momma tried to keep me safe in a bubble

But I could never keep myself outta trouble

I said, momma tried to raise me right

But I came out wrong, (But I came out wrong)
