[Mama said]
Mama said, mama said, mama said
[Mama said]
Mama said, mama said, mama said
[Mama said]
Mama said, mama said, mama said
Mama said, mama said
[Hook]
Mama told me never be ashamed of my Blackness...
Coppers in da hood tryna rain on my Blackness...
Unappreciated you should never bleach ya
Blackness...
Cuz da whole wide world going crazy over Blackness...
Mama told me never be ashamed of my Blackness...
Coppers in da hood tryna rain on my Blackness...
Unappreciated you should never bleach ya
Blackness...
Cuz da whole wide world going crazy over Blackness...
[Verse 1]
Take a look at my life, feels like I got a spotlight on me
Even with the lights out, somehow dey can’t take dey eyes of me
I know scrutiny when I see it
Feels like a trial that you know you ain’t beatin
Know you innocent but dey choose not to see it
Like dey names Ray Charles or even Stevie
Reasons, reasons where da truth when you need it
Even with our hands up, get choked out fo’ breathin’
Being black is quite hard we make it look easy
System tryna break us, 5-0 tryna kill me...DAMN
Mind race a mile a minute, thinking ‘bout different ways I’ma get it
Gotta stack bandos cuz da fam gotta eat like thanksgiving
Pray I make it home by dinner time
Sorry I was late I was tryna stay alive
You know black folks is rarely on time
But when dey show up its da time of ya life
[Hook]
Mama told me never be ashamed of my Blackness...
Coppers in da hood tryna rain on my Blackness...
Unappreciated you should never bleach ya
Blackness...
Cuz da whole wide world going crazy over Blackness...
Mama told me never be ashamed of my Blackness...
Coppers in da hood tryna rain on my Blackness...
Unappreciated you should never bleach ya
Blackness...
Cuz da whole wide world going crazy over Blackness...
[Verse 2]
Black girl, thick thighs, strong mind my type
Growing up hard on da east side
Growing up hard on da west side
Coming up hard from da south side
Don’t Dey know we tryna get by
Don’t Dey know we tryna get by
Don’t U know we gon get by
[Bridge]
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Down these streets
Please won't you just pray
[Won’t you pray for me]
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Down these streets
Please won't you just pray
[Won’t you pray for me]
[2nd Verse - cont'd]
Hol’ up... wait a minute
Ridin’ ‘round... windows tinted
Dey all up in my juice lyke grape koolaid
How many of us dey gon’ try & kill today
I’m melinated, I know I’m unique
I stay woke lyke I’m runnin’ from sleep
It’s hard to close my eyes when it ain’t a dream
Gods gift to da world, blackest thing that I ever seen
[Hook]
Mama told me never be ashamed of my Blackness...
Coppers in da hood tryna rain on my Blackness...
Unappreciated you should never bleach ya
Blackness...
Cuz da whole wide world going crazy over Blackness...
Mama told me never be ashamed of my Blackness...
Coppers in da hood tryna rain on my Blackness...
Unappreciated you should never bleach ya
Blackness...
Cuz da whole wide world going crazy over Blackness...
[3rd Verse]
Black Art... black art, black art
All I see is black art
Black art written da white wall
Illuminate da world like it’s night fall
Dark knights, Black Kings, Black Queens
Black skin, Black pride, Blackness - black art, black art
[Hook]
Mama told me never be ashamed of my Blackness...
Coppers in da hood tryna rain on my Blackness...
Unappreciated you should never bleach ya
Blackness...
Cuz da whole wide world going crazy over Blackness...
