MOCKINGBIRD Lyrics by MACKAVON

WAVY TUNES

2018

[Verse 1]
My fault for losing myself never been the one to ask for help
Mama hated that she wanna help
But Im busy keeping to my damn self
Result of school that's how I felt couldn't never seem to find myself
Outcast I guess I'm by myself but that's how I found my dreams by myself
I'm used to that shit never change even when Obama say yes we can
Mama say I been acting strange
Say I never see the finer things
Mama all I see is finer things if I get it I ain't never gon complain
Result of seeing all the shiny things pimped out with the shiny rings
Lord knows I wanted plenty things big chain and a diamond ring
Told myself that I gotta sing only way to the finer things
Seen it all on the TV ain't trying to be preachy
Cuz I need me a damn genie so I can cop me a damn GT
People never used to see me now I got people trying to be me
And trying to see me get a freebie
Life was never that easy
Young nigga big dreams hoping that these people see me
No hands out to the big screen people known for being greedy
See its crazy that we seem to think that way never had it but you want your way
I could tell you never had your way hope you find your way home today
Lost and found myself home today mama when I'm gon catch my break
Lord knows i got a lot to say please Lord don't lemme lose my way

[Chorus]
Hush little baby don't you sing
Know that you want all the shiny things
Mama gon buy you a diamond ring
If you don't shine ain't shit gon change
If that mockingbird don't want you to sing
You might as well stop that thing
It's all the same ain't shit gon change
But stunting is habit yea yea it's a habit
I know that I could have it yea yea I could have it

[Verse 2]
How you talk proper so proper from the south nigga we don't talk proper
But lord knows mama raised me proper
Raised good me nigga I'm the sole product
Of my environment never sold product
But I swear to God the devil wears Prada
Fools gold gold diggers dress proper
Wanna cry bitch do a soap opera
I ain't with that only rock copper oh shit man think the snakes got her
All she see is green ain't shit gon stop her
From Mercedes Benz to her own chopper
Her old nigga used to own choppers
Only thing wrong he ain't talk proper
Told shawty call him big poppa she don't mess with that she a show stopper
Made moves to the major league hopefully there's room for me
Things in my mind that you can't see only when I'm gone off Hennessy
Honestly I ain't sipping tea all these bitches do is try to spill the tea
I ain't a killer but don't ever push me I'm a king but I ain't Pusha T
Mama always said to keep it G and if I tell my story don't sell it cheap
She raised a king not a sell out so ain't shit you gon get from me
Ain't no label bout to ever purchase me Im in the field nigga but I'm feeling free
Niggas say don't chase the currency like they don't see where I'm currently
Mama hope it never get to my head cuz she know the thoughts I think in my head
Every night she watch the news bloodshed goddamn another kid dead
Mama can't afford to see her son dead so she praying to Lord above instead
Rap violence why 2Pac dead Guess that's why mama always said

[Chorus]
Hush little baby don't you sing
Know that you want all the shiny things
Mama gon buy you a diamond ring
If you don't shine ain't shit gon change
If that mockingbird don't want you to sing
You might as well stop that thing
It's all the same ain't shit gon change
But stunting is habit yea yea it's a habit
I know that I could have it yea yea I could have it
