Mama Told Me (feat. Kelly Rowland)

As the world shakes unharmed, calm in the middle of the storm

Bomb, blow tsunami, ring the alarm

Big Boi for dummies, come and get some

Um, wisdom like your back teeth or get the fuck on

Like some bad chi, negative energy not tolerated

You all about a dollar and I'm exonerated

Freefallin', Tom Petty heartbreaker

Livin' legend, rap scholar, art major

Because I make major art

Like Beethoven, Van Gogh or Mozart, so don't start

Around these parts we reign supreme and stay Krispy Kreme clean

Blue jeans, Jordans, number three's, that's important

Be careful how you play your cards, that's what mama told me

Be true to self and you'll go far, that's what mama told me

Try not to break too many hearts, that's what mama told me

I always knew I'd be a star, that's what mama told me

Mama used to say take your time

Well I'm a pickpocket when I design rhymes

Every little step I take like Bob Brown

It's so profound that when I throw those nouns

We gon' get low, low down until we get back up

Why everything gravy, taters mashed up

You know I keep a full plate and a full thing of hot ones

Throw away thirty-eights

But everything's straight, bleed, shit, I got everything I can need

Me? Boy, I'm everything you can't see

Like three blind mice on the chase of some great cheese

And cheddar man say he got some grand prix

Say he serve me and my **** Three G

Butt tees, Jordans, number five, you **** boring

Be careful how you play your cards, that's what mama told me

Be true to self and you'll go far, that's what mama told me

Try not to break too many hearts, that's what mama told me

I always knew I'd be a star, that's what mama told me

'Cause I travel like a rocket, I do

Mind riddle, every socket, for you

I sway on the edge of the lightning, yeah

Magnetic, can't stop, hoo-hoo

Just floating, won't drop, hoo-hoo

I slip (I slip) I slide (I slide) Back up the ride

I'm skippin' every mountaintop

I'm reachin' for the highest high

Be careful how you play your cards, that's what mama told me

Be true to self and you'll go far, that's what mama told me

Try not to break too many hearts, that's what mama told me

I always knew I'd be a star, that's what mama told me

Hoo-hoo (Yeah, yeah)

Hoo-hoo

Hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo-hoo (Yeah, yeah)

Hoo-hoo

Hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo

(That's what mama told me)

Hoo-hoo (That's what mama told me)

Hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo (Mama told me, that's what mama told me)

Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo (Mama told me)

Mama told me
