WALE - Mama Told Me lyrics
rate me<br>
<i>[Chorus x2]</i><br />
Mama told me there'd be days like this <br />
But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this (Naw!) <br />
Not now not ever, and now until forever you will never need another (Nigga!) <br />
<br />
Look... <br />
Sorry hiphop, it took me so long to get on but so long that I'm on it, it's on! <br />
I'm rappin' for the scholars and the hustla's, meanwhile <br />
Showin' mama I ain't dropped out for nothin'! <br />
I swear these dolla's gon' add up <br />
And I ain't shallow, material things suppress bad luck <br />
That's why I shine like I does, it's pain in my eyes but these east saints blind you to look <br />
Binded between, carryin' the flag for an area that drag, whoever tried to gravitate <br />
G told me it's a city full of crimes, I'm feelin' like a platter at Philip's when I rap <br />
As much as I wanted to be minisculed the fact is, they'd only be happy with a minstrel actor <br />
Sorry Mr. Charlie won't chap dance, and fuck the radio for tellin' me to snap jam <br />
I'm just expectin' the spectator's respect here <br />
My net is from jet setters to cab fares <br />
Hip-hop's unbalances got out of hand <br />
Ain't have to see-saw, I'm already scared <br />
I been called the ?? <br />
And I DC'd this whole fuckin' genre <br />
And I ain't in it for them O's or them comma's <br />
But more or less the hope for dope niggas to prosper <br />
Yessir... <br />
<br />
<i>[Chorus]</i><br />
<br />
The future is now, I lead on record's dedicaton for makin' better music is now <br />
Dope niggas locked out 4 year rap drought <br />
It's rainin' now somehow the fugitive's out <br />
I would invest in a poncho, 'cause I ain't finna punch out like Glass Joe (Naw!) <br />
Ima go until my arm's sore, fuck it! I go until my 40 millionth encore <br />
Hip-hop's dead yeah that's what Nas said to me <br />
I guess that's hip-hop heads on salary <br />
We've had the tables, on them record labels <br />
Who's next to release? We guillotine them <br />
Niggas braggin' but everybody stagnant everybody broke except the nigga on the track (Shit!) <br />
And mama why you throw away my drums? <br />
A hundred for a deal they made a hundred on the song <br />
Nigga I'm a hundred miles far, I'm feelin' Chris Childs <br />
You lookin' like Kobe Bryant ya'll <br />
It's lonely at the top so I waited, but ain't nobody take it <br />
Now I'm playin' solitaire patient <br />
Crucifix pieces, necklace with Jesus <br />
See me as blasphemous for I don't need them <br />
God give me strength, Allah give me patience <br />
I am only a man and I don't know what to think <br />
<br />
<i>[Chorus]</i>
