Mama / Said

Started young, standing on the outside Picked last almost every time Had no dream or direction to pull the tide It was just me, myself and I Never could fight, fists up fifth grade Came home bruised up, yeah, life was great But if I'm honest, where would I be without the pain? Where would I be without the pain? Yeah Mama said, "Take your time, do it right Don't rush into something and you will be fine Plan your words, clean your thoughts before you end the rhyme Be the hero when the villain wants to start the fight" Mama said, "Take your time, do it right Don't rush into something and you will be fine Plan your words, clean your thoughts before you end the rhyme Be the hero when the villain wants to start the fight" Here I am, twenty-five, still alive Served a heart that stops beating from time to time Wouldn't trade it, not a chance, this shit is mine It's alright, we started fine with sleepless nights And mama where would I be without you showing me That life can be a tragedy you fight against so constantly? But every now and then you make a win, that's when you pause Breathe in, smile, enjoy life Mama said, "Take your time, do it right Don't rush into something and you will be fine Plan your words, clean your thoughts before you end the rhyme Be the hero when the villain wants to start the fight" Mama said, "Take your time, do it right Don't rush into something and you will be fine Plan your words, clean your thoughts before you end the rhyme Be the hero when the villain wants to start the fight" And if they end up seeing you as the villain They'll say mean things, hold on, be forgiving Because the toughest goal that you can achieve Is being nice to others even if they are mean Mama, mama, mama, mama Mama, mama, mama, mama Mama, mama, mama, mama Mama, mama, mama, mama Mama said, "Take your time, do it right Don't rush into something and you will be fine Plan your words, clean your thoughts before you end the rhyme Be the hero when the villain wants to fight" Mama said, "Take your time, do it right Don't rush into something and you will be fine Plan your words, clean your thoughts before you end the rhyme Be the hero when the villain wants to start the fight" (take your, take your time) Mama said, "Take your time, do it right Don't rush into something, and you will be fine (don't rush it, don't, don't, don't rush it) Plan your words, clean your thoughts before you end the rhyme Be the hero when the villain wants to start the fight"
