Mama & Papa Lyrics by Kovacs

Cheap Smell

2018

[Verse 1]
I have prayed, I have prayed to your god
When I pray, I found your god or so I thought
[Pre-Chorus 1]
He told me, "Let go, he will never come home"
So I've been running, I've been running, I've been running on my own
[Chorus 1]
Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Ho
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Ho
[Post-Chorus]
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done prayin'
You've got much stronger than me
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were goin' to church
When you were goin' to church
[Verse 2]
I have sinned, I have sinned to your god
And when I sinned, I found my god or so I thought
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I had to let go, I don't wanna go home
And I keep running, keep running, keep running on my own
[Chorus 1]
Mama, mama, when I was born
Where was daddy and why did he go?
Was he no good to you, mama?
Did he have a different agenda? Ho
Mama, mama, do we look alike?
Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes?
What does it do to you, mama?
Do I remind you of papa? Ho
[Post-Chorus]
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done prayin'
You've got much stronger than me, eh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were goin' to chur- hmm
[Bridge]
(Ho, ho) Prai- praise the lord
(Ho, ho) Oh, hallelujah
(Ho, ho) Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah
(Ho, ho) Ho, amen
[Chorus 2]
Mama, mama, when I was born
Papa wondered, he left us alone
He was no good to you, mama
He had a higher agenda, ho
Mama, mama, we look alike
But don't you see you wanna squeeze my eyes?
It means nothing to mama
I got my mind out of papa, ho
[Post-Chorus]
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Every time you're done prayin'
You've got much stronger than me, oh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
I had my face in the dirt
When you were goin' to chur-
[Outro]
Praise the lord
Amen
