Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mama said, "Good things come free"

"Do what you can and be what you need"

We never had much, but we figured it out

'Cause when you've got nothing, there's nothing to bitch about

[Chorus]

She would say, "Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"

Say, "You got money, you got something"

"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"

"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"

"Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"

Say, "You got money, you got something"

"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"

"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"

Mama knows

Yes, mama knows

[Verse 2]

Well, no shit, your life is hard

It's an easy Sunday when you know who you are, oh yeah, child

Ain't no shortcut gonna bring you peace, no

But your mama knows just what you need, yes

[Chorus]

She would say, "Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"

Say, "You got money, you got something"

"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"

"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"

"Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"

Say, "You got money, but that's something"

"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"

"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"

Mama knows

Ooh, yes, mama knows, yeah

[Bridge]

Mmhmm, yeah

Oh, yes

Oh, it's so sweet

Yes, it is

I said it's, it's so sweet, yeah

It's so sweet, oh Lord, yes

It's so sweet, yeah

Oh, but if you don't know, now, now

You better go ask your mama

[Chorus]

She would say, "Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"

Say, "You got money, you got something"

"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"

"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"

"Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"

Say, "You got money, you think that that's something"

"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"

"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"

Mama knows

I said your mom, she knows, yes
