Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, mama
Thanks for birthing me, unearthing me, so nurturing, nurturing
Hey, mama
All the lessons that I learned from you, so sorry if I ever burned you
Hey, mama
[Verse 2]
Always got my back
Whatever I need, she manifest
Might not be when I want it, but when i need it
'Fore I tell you i need it, you already see it
You can hear it in my voice when I'm speaking
'Cause it's your voice that I'm speaking
You heard my dad's voice that I'm speaking
James, Martha, Earl's voice that I'm speaking
Faith, Paige, Jemiah's voice that I'm speaking
And I don't have a choice but to speak it
It's all in these veins I've bought plenty
'Cause of the knowledge you gave, I saw plenty
I solve mysteries now, I'm on cloud twenty
Most rappers think of me because I'm making history
And when I'm on tour you be missing me
I made this for (Mama)
Are you listening?
[Verse 3]
Hey, mama
Thanks for birthing me, unearthing me, so nurturing, nurturing
Hey, mama
All the lessons that I learned from you, so sorry if I ever burned you
Hey, mama
[Verse 4]
Always had my back
Whenever I needed help in school
You helped me do the research and find the tools
Remember I wanted to dunk so bad
You bought me those ugly-ass shoes
And I was jumping around the yard
Tryna be the start shooting guard
Y'all believed in me so much, I believed it
And when the blessings rained down, I received it
'Cause I believed it
Such a vital lesson learned at a young age
And now I'm on stage, people screaming your son name
On the front page talking 'bout your son game
How we let that fadeaway jumper win the game
How his flow is as ill as the drums of your other son James
You're the one to blame
[Verse 5]
Hey, mama
Thanks for birthing me, unearthing me, so nurturing, nurturing
Hey, mama
All the lessons that I learned from you, so sorry if I ever burned you
Hey, mama
[Verse 6]
We appreciate you for your loving music
Music is universal
It doesn't matter what language you speak
It doesn't matter where you're from
But it exudes a love that we can all understand and all appreciate
