Way Up Lyrics by Jay-Way

2020

[Chorus]
Momma told me one day you gon’ shine like a star
Just promise that you will not forget who you are
Don’t forget to call me when your on your way up
When your on your way up, way up

[Verse 1]
Wouldn’t be here without momma
I know you dropped
Lots of tears for me momma
Yes I know that we’ve done been through some drama
But you we’re here for me momma
One of the reasons I glow
That’s why I'm writing this piece so you know
It’s been a while since I wrote from the soul
I’m in the booth with a lump in my throat, yeah
And I know a lot of people never thought that i would make it
I admit in a way I always felt like you related
Always felt I degraded from the people that I rolled with
And the people that I dated, I know that you always wanted me to get an education
And it took a lot of time it was worth all the waiting
You want what’s best for me
But just leave the rest to me

[Chorus]
Momma told me one day you gon’ shine like a star
Just promise that you will not forget who you are
Don’t forget to call me when your on your way up
When your on your way up, way up

[Post-Chorus]
Taught me to find balance between my head and my heart
And you taught me to solve the puzzle when I’m missing a part
I won’t forget to call you when I’m on my way up
When I’m on my way up, way up

[Verse 2]
Sorry Momma, sorry Momma
Couldn’t pick up but I’m thinking of you
When I’m on the road don’t be afraid
Just want you to know that I’m okay
Sometimes I’m away for a month maybe two
I know that life can be rough so do you
I need to find my own way to get through

[Chorus]
Momma told me one day you gon’ shine like a star
Just promise that you will not forget who you are
Don’t forget to call me when your on your way up
When your on your way up, way up

[Post-Chorus]
Taught me to find balance between my head and my heart
And you taught me to solve the puzzle when I’m missing a part
I won’t forget to call you when I’m on my way up
When I’m on my way up, way up

[Outro]
I would’ve never been me without you
You know I'm never complete without you
And I won’t forget to call you when I’m on my way up, way up
