Artist: DJ Earworm Album: Mama (S) Song: Mama Typed by: AZ Lyrics Aaaaahhhh, baby, baby, you are appreciated This generation rules the nation, baby baby Pass The Dutchie pon the left hand side Pass The Dutchie pon the left hand side Pass The Dutchie pon the left hand side Pass The Dutchie pon the left hand side I was dreamin' when I wrote this Forgive me if it goes astray It was all a dream, dreaming Mama, I'm Gonna Sing What are you gonna be, Mama, I'm Gonna Sing What are you gonna be, Mama, I'm Gonna Sing How can you sing, my child? Don't be silly, it's just a dream It was all a dream You're gonna end up lost like Dad Silly, my girl can't sing It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up magazine Salt 'n' Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine Hangin' pictures on my wall Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl When I was young me and my mama had beef Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff I was too used to packin' gats and stuff Now honies play me close like butter played toast From the Mississippi down to the east coast Cuz when I was low you was there for me You never left me alone cuz you cared for me And I could see you comin home after work late You're in the kitchen tryna fix us a hot plate I'm gonna make it one day, mom you'll see I'm working night & day so mom you'll see I'm gonna make it one day, mom you'll see Don't be silly, my child can't sing I'm gonna make it one day, mom you'll see I'm working night & day so mom you'll see I'm gonna make it one day, mom you'll see Don't be silly, my child can't sing I made the change from a common thief To up close and personal with Robin Leach What are you gonna be, thinkin' back on my one-room shack Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back And all my childhood memories Are full of all the sweet things you did for me And even though I act crazy I gotta thank the Lord that you made me I was dreaming, you know very well And if you don't know, now you know What are you gonna be, you're my sugar thang Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place I'll pay for you and grandma, mama you'll see I'll carry you and grandma, mama you'll see I'll make sure you A.O.K., mama you'll see Mama, I'm Gonna Sing I'll pay for you and grandma, mama you'll see I'll carry you and grandma, mama you'll see I'll make sure you A.O.K., mama you'll see Mama, I'm Gonna Sing Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool Considered a fool cuz I dropped outta high school I'm blowin' up like you thought I would Call the crib, same number same hood It's all good, I wish I could take the pain away If you can make it thru the night there's a brighter day Everything will be alright if ya hold on It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood and it's still all good Uh, damn right I like the life I live 'Cuz I went from negative to positive There are no words that can express how I feel You never kept a secret, always stayed real And I appreciate how you raised me And all the extra love that you gave me I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray Pass The Dutchie pon the left hand side Pass The Dutchie pon the left hand side Daddy didn't make it, I know that daddy didn't make it But mama, daddy gave up, Mama I'm Gonna Sing Daddy didn't make it, and if you don't know I know that daddy didn't make it, now you know But mama, daddy gave up, Mama I'm Gonna Sing
