Song:   Mama (Loves a Crackhead)
Typed by: AZ Lyrics

yeh...

so he says he loves you, wants you to be his wife?
but he's too hooked on the crack path for that to be right
it's all lies none of it's true, though it hurts you know what you gotta do
like a dirty needle you don't know where he's been
all I know is that I've seen him high when he says that he's clean
there was a grey patch when he first bust on the scene
but as the mystery un-ravelled all became black n' white, know what I mean?
we can never be friends, he can go to hell
no more hangin' round the house like a bad smell
either he goes or I do
it's your decision mama, it's all on you
you're too old to be naive, n' I know you ain't eager
but that what bothers me maa, coz you goin' on different
I ain't never seen you loved up like this before
why's it everybody but you can see you deserve more?

[Chorus]
mama
can't ya see
what he's tryna do
to you and to me
mama
it's so black and white
while your sittin at home
he's out smokin' crack tonight
n I can't go for that
no
no can do
i can't go for that
can't go for that
no-oh

when I first met him thought he was cool
had a few things in common like supportin' arsenal
i saw the way he made you happy like a love-fool
calmed you down when times were hard up, stressful
but all that don't ammount to shit
when he starts actin' like a little kid
treatin' you as if you were sum kind of bitch
mama you ain't rich
but still he borrows your money
n never pays it back
cos' every penny he gets is spent on that
bad habit, it
fuckin' takes the piss
bringin' that slut into our house
this is your monent, this
n' I know you threw him out for that
but how lon's it gonna be before you take him back?
(mama your alone now, your the only)
one that can't see that this bloke is a phoney
n he don't really care about ya mum
he just sez he does coz' he fuckin thinks ya dumb!

[Chorus]

"yo, ma mama loves a crackhead"
is that what I'm sposed to tell my friends when they ask me how I'm doin'
am I sposed to pretent?
I'm like "there's nuttin wrong"
when there blatantly is
turn the other cheek when he's takin the piss
fuck that
that's not how the man of the house acts
I've gotta defend my territory, guard my patch
when I know he's doin dodgy shit behind your back
put my foot down, stand my ground n' that
this has got to stop
whether the guy burns crack or not
his head, in there, he's fuckin lost the plot
dead n buried is the ac' phrase
can't even act right, can't even act his age
thats so fuckin' lame
thirty-sumfin' years old
he should feel ashamed
if I was him I'd slit my veins in the main
tryna loop one bar
for sinnin til' my arteries drained
n ride his time so I ain't gotta do it again
cos' there's nuttin more pathetic than a cry for help
either you do or you don't wanna kill yourself
everybody knows you got a problem so it don't matter if you admit it
what you gotta do is be a man n' fuckin deal with it

I know the truth hurts mama
but this shit has gotta be said
he doesn't love you, he never has n' thats a fact
coz' the only thing he really loves in this world is crack

[Chorus]
