rate meSong by Yo-Yo<br /><br>
"There are a few things I wanna explain to you..<br>
and I'll try to define, to the best of my ability"<br>
<br>
"Mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
<br>
"I'ma tell you one more thing;<br>
and won't tell y'all nothin else"<br>
<br>
"Mama.."<br>
<br>
[Yo-Yo]<br>
Growin up was crazy, in my days we got our ass kicked<br>
Mama didn't play no ? cause talkin back is foul play<br>
She had her own way of gettin across, which was a belt of steel<br>
She'd tell us from the work we could all but kneel<br>
Gettin nasty in front of guests was the way she'd like to do it<br>
She'll say straighten your shit up, or you can stop em from comin<br>
And yo guys knew what time it was, even they was checked<br>
I got a down ass mama ("that's right") mama don't take no mess<br>
Now shit got hectic, cause mama was tipped<br>
She'll tell you in a minute don't let your mouth get yo' ass whipped<br>
Mama did it all by herself, King and Queen of this house<br>
Yellin, "I want my Daddy" would get your ass thrown out<br>
Now when it came to partyin, moms got wild<br>
Don't nuttin get old but clothes, and they come back as styles<br>
("that's right.. that's right") Yo, I got a down ass mama<br>
<br>
"Mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Can you dig it?"<br>
<br>
[Yo-Yo]<br>
Beings it was all girls, shit was always missing<br>
from panties to makeup, if it was gone then she was bitchin<br>
She wants to know, "Who's been in the house?" I said no company<br>
Checkin her dresser sayin, "What happened to my money?"<br>
If it was on then it was on, cause money don't walk<br>
Somebody better talk, find the stuff she done lost<br>
I got my butt whooped for everything I did wrong<br>
And it was ON, cause niggaz kept playin on my phone<br>
Don't let moms go to a conference and the teacher confess<br>
Man I'm tell you, mama don't take no mess<br>
Why watch me go down, fight to keep it goin<br>
but really not knowin cause the truth is what they're showin<br>
You don't have a friend, friends come and go is what she'll say<br>
Never tell your deepest secret, you'll get hurt that way<br>
Love is a game, and it's okay if you play<br>
But they're dogs dressed as men, tryin to be your friend<br>
and baby watch out, don't take a step unless you know which way you're goin<br>
Times are gettin lonely but I'll be a honey<br>
I'll never leave ya, believe that love is in the air<br>
No matter what you done, moms'll be there<br>
I got a down ass mama<br>
<br>
"Mama don't take no mess!"<br>
<br>
"Because I'm aware that you have to use what you have<br>
to get what you want. This is the reason I'm asking<br>
you to tighten up your shit. Be proud of your black<br>
body and use it. That's your natural gift, so girls<br>
use it. But you got to get yo' shit together!"<br>
<br>
"Mama don't take no mess!"<br>
<br>
"I'm beggin you please do like I told you"<br>
<br>
[Yo-Yo]<br>
Moms, didn't play the okey-doke, oke can get choked, huh<br>
Fuck around and get yo' neck broke<br>
Tellin your friends, "Hold up, wait man, moms'll let me go"<br>
Walk in the house and mom straight say NO!<br>
The type of moms to whup you in the store if she hasta<br>
Just to let you know, you're the child, she's the master<br>
Livin it to the fullest, playin 40 like she's 20 y'know<br>
Some old tricks from a young pro<br>
Brought up in a church house, and every Sunday was a must<br>
When moms couldn't make it, we rode the church bus<br>
Don't say you couldn't fade it, cause that was plannin yo' week<br>
No church, no runnin the streets G! ("That's right")<br>
We didn't neglect our chores, that was number one<br>
For thirty on the dot, we was on the run<br>
She used to pull up at the dance, have the DJ to call us out<br>
After two o'clock, wasn't no hangin out<br>
Sometimes she waited in the batterram or stood at the front do'<br>
People used to ask what she came fo'<br>
Hell wasn't nuttin get close, moms was loc, no joke<br>
("Right on!)" I got a down ass mama<br>
<br>
"Mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
"Mmmm, mmm, mmm"<br>
"Mama.. mama don't take no mess!"<br>
<br>
"Get them drive-by shooters out of my living room<br>
and off my couch. You know we expecting company!"<br>
<br>
"Is that it? I gotta go."<br>
"HELL NAW THAT AIN'T IT!"<br>
<br>
