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>
