SHIGGA SHAY - Mama Told Me lyrics

rate me

This one goes out, to all the moms in the world

I consider them warriors

Chea!

My mama told me, when I was young,

She'd sit beside me, 'my only son... '

And listen closely... to what I say

And if you do this... it'll help you, some sunny day

When I was young, only you believed in my dreams

When they told me I wasn't the one, you still gave me self-esteem

I remember everything you said

When I was down with a fever, layin cold on the bed

I told you I was gonna represent Singapore

And now you holdin' down every single one of my metaphors

I cursed, I fought, I lied and cried

And if it wasn't for you, I probably woulda died

You single handedly turned me from trash to a pearl

A lady responsible for bringing me into the world

You were always there, when hope was forlorn

A day after 9/11 a star was born

You knew I was special so you told me to do it

Knewing that I was much more than marketed music

I would never forget what you've done for me

Cause without you, I wouldn't have a soul to breathe

Oh take your time... don't learn too fast...

Troubles will come... and they will past...

You find a woman... and you'll find love...

And don't forget there is a someone... up above

Whenever I fell you were always there to catch me

Fillin' my heart with love so it's never empty

The love you've given can't be described with a pen

I wouldn't mind livin life as your child again

You still stayed when I refused to even listen

There were days you worked late just to pay tuition

But my intuition told me you had a mission

You wrote me a bright future now I have a vision

Of the world in my palms, ya baby boy's all grown

Hugged me with open arms when I was all alone

There was a time I did real bad in school

You didn't give up even when they said I was a fool

With your love and support I know I gotta make it

Makin you proud cause I'm what you created

If I get signed I ma get you a home

I made this song cause I'm more comfortable speakin on tha microphone

And get your lust, from a rich man's gold...

All that you need now... is in your soul...

And you can do this... if you try...

All that I want from you my son... is to be satisfied!

And be a simple... kind of man... and be something...

You love and understand... let it be a simple... kind of man...

Oh won't you do this all... if you can...

Call me the human torch my rhymes on fire

My moms a warrior and pops is a cancer survivor

Didn't mind when 'I kissed a girl like 'Katy Perry'

Cause they say that I'm sweeter than Ben & Jerry's

You must be proud of the product you created

I work so hard yet they say I'm overrated

Don't tell me but show that's what mama told me

Hold me closely like a book then carefully unfold me

Whatever yo momma say you gotta pay attention

Cause her words probaby pay a king's ransom

If my hand is a gun, I got it cocked like Will Smith(Hancock)

I'm ma use it to protect even if my bones shift

I ain't gon follow my dreams I ma lead them with glory

My momma led a life you could read in a story

I owe you so much that I can't repay

Without you there wouldn't be no ShiGGa Shay!

Oh don't you worry... you'll find yourself...

Follow your heart... and nothing else...

And you can do this... oh yeah... If you try...

All that I want from you my son... is to be satisfied!

And be a simple... kind of man... and be something...

You love and understand... let it be a simple... be a simpleman...

Oh won't you do this all... if you can...

{No one can scold me, that's what Mama Told me}

{Don't tell me but show me, that's what Mama Told me}
