[Chorus: SPONGE]
Come on mama
Can’t you see
I’ve been here and gone today
Your little boy is grown and can’t stay
Come on mama
Can’t you see
I don’t wanna break your heart
But it’s time to go, it’s just the start
[Verse 1: SPONGE]
It’s time to leave my nest
I give you my thanks, ‘cause you gave me your best
Off to college now, and I’m acing this test
This a new chapter, you helped me write all the last
But it’s my turn now, I’m writing the rest
And sorry for those times me and Cass clashing heads
Mom, I’m packed with regrets
Why is leaving so hard, last week I was content
Now I’m leaving the family and leaving my friends
Sometimes I feel empty, I mean it really depends
I know I caused some trouble
You got grey hairs in the end
And I’ll do my all to fix it, wish I could buy you a Benz
I know this music shit is different and it don’t make much sense
But I promise in the end, you and Dad cashing cheques
That’d make a little difference even if it’s just cents
I don’t wanna pretend, I just wanna go live
I just wanna make you proud, I wanna have my own crib
I’d invite you over for some barbecue shrimp
When I think of you and Dad, I think how great you done did
To have a daughter like her and a son like me
I just thought I’d let you know this before I go leave
[Chorus: Romaine]
Come on mama
Can’t you see
I’ve been here and gone today
Your little boy is grown and can’t stay
Come on mama
Can’t you see
I don’t wanna break your heart
But it’s time to go, it’s just the start
[Verse 2: Romaine]
I can’t keep up with these lessons
I can’t keep up with this message
I can’t keep up with this flexing
I can’t keep up with this stressing
I can’t keep up, I can’t keep up
I just wanna put my feet up
I’m just tired, can’t you see that
I’m so sorry, can’t deny that I’ve probably been ungrateful
So untasteful, never meant to make you cry
But I’m happy that you’re faithful to the cause of raising me up
You and Dad made me OG, uh
But I can’t deny the fact that I put it on my back
Never looking at my past as a sacrificial lamb
I’ll just keep blowing up, I know God got my back
So for now, imma pack, kiss you on the cheek then laugh
On the inside, I’m so sad, but don’t worry mama
One day I’ll be back
But don’t worry mama, one day I’ll be back
Back, back
[Chorus: SPONGE & Romaine]
Come on mama
Can’t you see
I’ve been here and gone today
Your little boy is grown and can’t stay
Come on mama
Can’t you see
I don’t wanna break your heart
But it’s time to go, it’s just the start
[Verse 3: HARMZ]
Yeah yeah yeah
You the only one that treats me right all day
And you the only one who knows me well, I swear
From Monday to Sunday, your tender love always remains the same, yeah yeah
And even when you’re mad, you always show me love, yeah
I never want to see you cry, I’ve seen enough, yeah
But the bridges burning, the tables turning
Your son growing up, that boy’s making movies
Your son growing up, that boy’s making music
And I will never stop, all I do is for you
I wanna make you proud, mama you know I adore you
And you’re the only one who made me feel alright, yeah
Remember when you used to tuck me in at night, yeah
From Monday to Sunday, your tender love always remains the same
Yeah yeah, oooooooooh
[Chorus: SPONGE, Romaine & HARMZ]
Come on mama
Can’t you see
I’ve been here and gone today
Your little boy is grown and can’t stay
Come on mama
Can’t you see
I don’t wanna break your heart
But it’s time to go, it’s just the start
[Ending: SPONGE]
Do you remember all the times I came home feeling broke?
Do you remember all the times I called you up on the phone?
I got tears upon my face, just from thinking ‘bout home
And yeah, I’m sure I left your place but mama I’m never gone
Do you remember all the times I came home feeling broke?
Do you remember all the times I called you up on the phone?
I got tears upon my face, just from thinking ‘bout home
And yeah, I’m sure I left your place but mama I’m never gone
