Lyrics

This is something for the young people

More precious than silver

More precious than gold

And that's the advice of a mother

Oh, how I wish you would take my advice

Because the vibe I get, it's nothing nice

I'm a little bit older, believe me, I know

I've already been where you think you can go

Mother to child

Woman to friend

I can see how you're starting out

I can see where you'll end

I know you must think that I'm coming down too hard

But emotionally I've been there

And emotionally I've been scarred

Oh, how I wish

Oh, how I wish you would take my advice

Because the vibe I get, it's nothing nice

I'm a little bit older, believe me, I know

I've already been where you think you can go

Child to mother

Younger to elder

Every time I mess up I say

I don't know what I'm gonna tell her

Because you've always been there, mama

With a warm embrace

I should've listened, oh, Lord

Should've listened in the first place

When you said

Oh, how I wish you would take my advice

Because the vibe I get, it's nothing nice

I'm a little bit older, believe me, I know

I've already been where you think you can go

Oh, how I wish you would take my advice

Because the vibe I get, it's nothing nice

I'm a little bit older, believe me, I know

I've already been where you think you can go

Young people, obey your parents

For God said it is right to do so

And parents, provoke not your children unto wrath

For in the heat of the moment

It could cost them their soul

Now I know there's a lot that you're not trying to hear, young people

But the one thing I tell you to hear is a mother's advice

And it might seem like no one knows what you're going through

But believe me, mama knows

Oh, yeah, she knows

I'm a little bit older, believe me, I know

I've already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Where you think you can go

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been

Already been
