2pac - Mama's Just A Little Girl lyrics

rate me

Young mothers

That's right

I feel ya (hey)

I know how it is

(MAMA's JUST A LIL' GIRL)

Don't nobody understand

I feel ya

[Verse 1: Tupac]

She was ..

Born A heavy set girl with pig tails and curls

A heart full of gold

Still it won't change the world

Though she could never understand why

Some underhanded plans, witnessed a man die

Was only 15

Should have been a beauty queen

Still see here crying by the caskets when here parents got killed

Little girl don't cry

'Coz even though they died

You can best believe they watching over thee from the sky

Never asked for this misery

But look at what you gettin'

It's a blessing in disguise

When you find out your pregnant

No money, no home

And even though you all alone

You'se got to do this on your own

So baby go on

I wish you luck

And if you need me, call

Just come to me and let me feed you all

I can understand

The way it feels when you fighting the world

Facing all this drama

When mama's just A little girl

[Chorus]

Mama

Don't know why

Mama's just a little girl

Given that she's a ??

Time ain't on her side

Mama's just a little girl

(Mama's just a little girl)

She gotta hold her head up high

[Verse 2: Tupac]

At 16 what a beautiful thing

The very essence of a jet black ebony queen

And who could tell she would get pregnant at an early age

She didn't listen, had sex

Watch her belly raise (hey)

Got violated by someone she dated

If this is fate I hate to see the seed she created

So we wait, though it takes time to build the body and the mind

She reclines 9 months

Then finally its time

What do we find?

A little grown boy a mind with a tortured soul

Addicted to a life of crime at no time of the growing stage

He learned his values on the streets at an early age

Watch for police

Don't come home (why)

'Coz mammas acting crazy

At the hospital

'Bout to have another baby

Like the rose from concrete

Grown within

Blessed with twins

How the hell can mamma raise 3 men

So we began a closest family

Such insanity

A happy home

For one act inhumanity

Plus mammas said the seed was corrupted

Used the rubber belly

Begging us to breathe if she love us

Now mamma sits quiet

Sipping peppermint schnapps

Turned the house into a spot and made her watch for cops (hey)

How could mamma bring a thug like me into this world?

She ain't the cause of all the drama

Cause mommas just a little girl

[Chorus]

Mama

Don't know why

Mama's just a little girl

Liven if she is or not

Time ain't on her side

Cause ama's just a little girl

(Mama's just a little girl)

She gotta hold her head up high

(How could she raise us)

[Verse 3: Tupac]

Now

Would she remain in the same spot?

The gunshots rang, they came from the cane spot

Now look here

I see her clutching her son

In her arms she hurt

Her heart bleeding as she watched her seed die in the dirt

Fulfill prophecy

But who could stop the grief?

I walk around trying to hold the world up on top me

Probably be an innocent man

But still I'm the victim of a curse

What could be worse?

Nothing but pain

Since my birth, taught me functions at the pen

Cause everybody's in paying back society

I'm guilty of a life of sin

I watched the drama occur

My eyes blurred 'fore I jet it

I wonder why we all have to die for we get it

Though we shed tears

So many peers I done buried

Worried and scared

Knowing I'ma see the cemetery

Must be prepared in this cold world

No-one cares

No it ain't fair

But we all there

And do our share

In this land of underhanded schemes and plans

Vivid dreams of a nigga having g's in hand

Mamma told me not to be a punk

Fuck what you talking about coward

What you niggas want?

(hey)

They ain't a thing I wouldn't do for my mamma in this world

Cause you know I ain't mad at cha

You' just a little girl

See mammas just a little girl

(hey hey)

[Chorus]

[Repeat until fade]

Mama

don't know why

Mama's just a little girl

Given that she is or not

time ain't on here side

mama's just a little girl

(mama's just a little girl)

she gotta hold her head up high

[Tupac Talking]

They ask us why we mutilate each other like we do

And wonder why we hold such little worth for human life

Facing all this drama

But to ask us why we to turn from bad to worse

Is to ignore from which we came

You see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals

On the contrary

We would all celebrate its tenacity

We would all love its will to reach the sun

Well

We are the roses [echo]

This is the concrete [echo]

And these are my damaged petals [echo]

Don't ask me why [echo]

Thank god nigga [echo]

Ask me how [echo]

(hahaha)

You see, mama's just a little girl
