Mama

I'm the one who sings their lullabies

I'm the one who wipes their tears they cry

I'm bible-readin', Jesus-preachin' on the in and outside

But God help you if you ever cross the line

Back off my babies, you can't replace me

Don't go thinkin' you know better

I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'

I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama

Because I'm Mama

Everybody's got their cheap two cents

Stranger, teachers, even the government

I'm not one to make a scene

But your crazy is my gasoline

Just try me and you'll find out what I mean

Back off my babies, you can't replace me

Don't go thinkin' you know better

I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'

I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama

I'm the keeper and protector

I'm the frontline, the defender

I'm the comfort and the fighter

Like a Mama bear in the wild

A little pretty, pretty deadly

I ain't lookin' for a fight but I'm ready

I'm the grit and the grace

So, don't get in my way!

Back off my babies, you can't replace me

Don't go thinkin' you know better

I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'

I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama

Because I'm Mama

Oh, I'm Mama

Back off my babies

I'm Mama

Because I'm Mama
