[Verse 1] In the kitchen on the southside Catching vibes at the table after midnight Mama sleep, try not to wake her on the inside Wondering if I'll ever make it Mama told me I'm the greatest I'm the greatest then She was right beside me, pushed me till I made it here Pressure leave a person cracked up like a eighties kid She was single holding me down Even though my dad weren't around [Pre-Chorus] She would tell me everything was alright (Ooh) Even when I couldn't see the sunshine (Ooh) She has been a queen for me in my life She was still believing when it wasn't easy (Oh oh) [Chorus] When you see me smiling when I feel down Yeah, I get that from my mama And when you see these hips and thighs that sit nice Yo, I got that from my mama And it don't matter what I make or where I go in this world Got to get back to my mama 'Cause love is what love does Shoutout to my mama [Verse 2] It was too hard when you're working two jobs 'Cause you're raising three kids and you're praying to God 'Cause you got to pay bills so we live like we live You were on the night shift, we were locked in the crib You used to say we can't tell nobody 'Cause some people might come, try to take us away So each and every day I can say that I appreciate All the ways that you loved me [Pre-Chorus] She would tell me everything was alright (Ooh) Even when I couldn't see the sunshine (Ooh) She has been a queen for me in my life She was still believing when it wasn't easy (Oh oh) [Chorus] When you see me smiling when I feel down Yeah, I get that from my mama (My mama) And when you see these hips and thighs that sit nice (Yeah, yeah) Yo, I got that from my mama (from my mama) And it don't matter what I make or where I go in this world Got to get back to my mama 'Cause love is what love does Shoutout to my mama [Bridge] I'll whoop your ass if you're late Now, you can't go on no dates You talkin' back, think you grown 'cause you menstruate But you ain't that bad, are you? I hate when we argue I raised you to honour your mother and father Yeah, I wanna see you livin' dreams Remember you're a queen I wanna see you make it but don't lose your Christianity I tried to get the best of me Give you the tools to propel you to your destiny I love you, Mum [Chorus] When you see me smiling when I feel down Yeah, I get that from my mama (Get that from my mama) And when you see these hips and thighs that sit nice (Nice) Yo, I got that from my mama (Got that from my mama) And it don't matter where I make it, where I'm going It's where I got to get back to my mama (I got to get to my mama) 'Cause love is what love does Shoutout to my mama
