Omen

Omen - Mama Told Me Ft. J. Cole lyrics

rate me

[Omen - Verse 1:]

Tryin follow my intuition as I’m on this million dollar mission

Mama told me I was special, thank God I listened

My environment never let me be a pretender

Similar interest with them dope boys but I was different

The hoop dreaming only child ? hyde park ?

Pimp slayers, gang wars, living in a lonely town

Who can I relate to?

Feeling like the Golden child, Chi city culture

Full of Pain, full of soul sinkers

Dead bodies in our rivers but their souls link up

A young black man living with unrealistic dreams

But luckily I’ve seen some unrealist things

A child from the city took the good route

Always fit in and always stood out, complex

Layered, rather show you than say it

Though I know my greatness is always understated

Mama working 12 hours days on her feet

Coming home cooking dinner, made her son wanna weep

My step father working while I’m zoning the beast

Meanwhile my biological was roaming the streets

Tryna be an entertainer, but my heart held love no anger

He yelled, yeah, tryna be a singer

I guess this just the life I was made for

Hook:

Mama told me I was special

Mama told me I was special

Mama told me I was special

Gotta love her for that (yeah)

Mama told me I was special

Mama told me I was special

Mama told me I was special

Gotta love her for that (yeah)

[J. Cole - Verse 2:]

Yeah, truly yours, J. Cole

My mama coulda been a movie star

Ya know like Judy Garland

I went to St Johns I coulda went to Julia

Cause my beautiful mom mixed with my musical bond

Deep as a funeral line, dawg, I get it from my mama

I used to be embarrassed getting picked up in that Honda

Thought my niggas might play me if they found out that my mama was a white lady

So like gravy had to cover that

Plus my older brother black but he look white

In an all black school, picture what that look like

No wonder he was under-acheiving not believin’ in himself

Coming home just be keeping to himself

Looking back through the silence, he was screaming out for help

Maybe this verse can find the words to get the demons out himself

So yeah, I’m exercising

Right now my record climbing, I’m sort of a stair master

Niggas got there faster, I took the long route, I never been a scared rapper

Boy this aint fear factor, they tell me can you hear the ?

SPilling out these ? made the world clear a path

Bet I’ll be on top from now till ?

Im special, mama told me I was special

mama told me I was special

Know I love her for that

Thats right I’m special

Mama told me I was special

Mama told me I was special

Know I love her for that

Know I love her for that

[Omen - Verse 3:]

Tell me, whats the marketing plan for realness

What’s the demographic target audience for brilliance

Whats the first week numbers for my inspiration

Who can A&R this passion and this dedication

Name: Omen. This aint a verse, this a revelation

We need some more Sanaa Lathan’s in our population

I’m meetin’ women I would never date

The kind that say they want a marriage but they really want a wedding day

I’m seeing groupies tryna act like they don’t notice me

But the writings on the wall call it hoe-itry

My calls but thats not what my focus be

Music’s forever my lady unlike Jodeci

See when a leaders speaking you should simply follow suit

I stay in the zone like it’s ?, let me show you how to shoot

You know aim for the gold, these are just the chronicles

There calling me the honorable, though I am not no muslim

I’m feeling bro like ?, tricky like a good sin

I’m somethin you’ve mistooken, mistake them for fakeness

Haters don’t know what you facing

Oh goodness, oh gracious

They looking at greatness

I was special, mama told me I was special

mama told me I was special

Gotta love her for that (yeah)

mama told me I was special

mama told me I was special

mama told me I was special

Gotta love her for that (yeah)

Gotta love her for that (yeah)

Gotta love her for that (yeah)

Gotta love her for that

Gotta love her for that (yeah)

Gotta love her for that (yeah)

Mama told me I was special
