Mama

[Intro] Payday rain on chipped enamel, you stirred the soup like a quiet scandal. Kept me warm, taught me grace— now I see their names, and I want their face. [Verse 1] You made peace in a warzone kitchen, hands steady while the wolves came sniffin’. You told me “rise” when I wanted to hit— but Mama, I’ve been sharpenin’ every bit. I could Wuornos their exit—dead end street, Gunness their smiles till the marrow leaks. Hang ’em like West hung wallpaper lies, bleach their sins till the color dies. [Pre-Chorus] Say “breathe, baby” and I’ll holster the knife, say “go, baby” and I’ll end their life. One word from you and I’ll call it divine— one nod and the bloodline’s mine. [Chorus] Mama… calm me down tonight. Mama… hold my hands in light. Or Mama… let me loose, I’ll paint it right— walls in red till the bad men cry. Mama… calm me down tonight. Mama… keep my claws inside. Or Mama… give the word, I’ll end their lies— and you won’t have to cry twice. [Verse 2] They came with sugar, they came with hymn, stirred in arsenic under a bone-china brim. I could Hindley their summer, moors go black, Puente their rent, never pay that back. I’ll grind their pride like a cheap motel, write my name in the place they fell. This ain’t rage, Mama, this is debt— and I’ve kept receipts you ain’t seen yet. [Pre-Chorus] Say “breathe, baby” and I’ll swallow the flame, say “go, baby” and I’ll carve their name. One word from you and I’ll call it divine— one nod and the bloodline’s mine. [Chorus] Mama… calm me down tonight. Mama… hold my hands in light. Or Mama… let me loose, I’ll paint it right— walls in red till the bad men cry. Mama… calm me down tonight. Mama… keep my claws inside. Or Mama… give the word, I’ll end their lies— and you won’t have to cry twice. [Bridge] I could wrap ’em up neat in a pretty bow, mail ’em back cold where the weeds don’t grow. Make confetti from the teeth they grin, hang streamers of the skin they’re in. Spread ‘em thin like a Sunday jam, serve ‘em up sweet on a plate for the fam. That’s love, Mama—just my kind, your smile safe while I lose my mind. [Verse 3] Your way’s mercy, my way’s art, both are born from the same soft heart. I could be kind like a hymn at dawn— or turn that hymn to a throatless song. I’ll Doss their sugar till the bones can’t speak, bathe in the red when the floorboards creak. Say “stop” and I’ll be your saint— say “go” and I’ll use their blood for paint. [Chorus] Mama… calm me down tonight. Mama… hold my hands in light. Or Mama… let me loose, I’ll paint it right— walls in red till the bad men cry. Mama… calm me down tonight. Mama… keep my claws inside. Or Mama… give the word, I’ll end their lies— and you won’t have to cry twice. [Outro] Mama… You taught me breathe. You taught me try. But if you say yes… then tonight they die.
