[Drug Money Mamas]

[Verse 1]
She's at church every Sunday before nine
First in the pew and the first in the line
She'll put you on her prayer list and pray for you all day
And her son runs a drugstore out the back door, they say
Feeling down? He's got it. Feeling tired? He's got it
Wanna forget? He's got it. Don't ask Mama, she forgot it
He's in and he's out every hour of the night
She says, "He's in sales, and he's doing all right"

[Chorus]
Drug money mamas, say amen and pass the cash
She don't ask no questions, she just spends the stash
Rent's paid, lights on, a freezer full of meat
Drug money mamas, bless her heart, ain't she sweet

[Verse 2]
She brings goodies for the Sunday school class
Paid for with twenties she irons real fast
She put up a Christmas tree in the middle of June
Hung it with hundreds and hummed a hymn tune
The children said, "Teacher, why's the angel so green?"
She said, "That's Ben Franklin, now hush and be clean"
She's got no job, but she tithes like a queen
Biggest giver the pastor has ever seen

[Verse 3]
When the birthdays come, Uncle pays for it all
Bikes and cakes and a party at the mall
Brand new shoes on every little pair of feet
The best-dressed kids on the whole dang street
Mama tells the neighbors, "He's generous, you see"
"Such a giving young man, he gets it all from me"
Little Junior asked, "Uncle, where's your money from?"
Mama said, "Eat your cake, baby, and don't be dumb"

[Bridge]
Channel Six says there's fentanyl in the batch
Three more gone down on the Maple Street patch
The crack house got raided, the mugshots are in
There's a perp walk at noon, and she's cooked for all ten
The coach got arrested for selling to the team
She said, "Well, ain't that awful," and she ate her ice cream
The working girls wave when she walks to the store
She says, "He's got so many friends coming by to the door"
Mothers are crying at funerals in town
She brings them a casserole, bought with what laid their babies down

[Verse 4]
She's got a second house, and guess who rents?
Her baby pays the mortgage, every dollar, every cent
She says, "I'm building equity," she's proud as can be
Never mind one raid and it's the county's for free
He gets her car fixed, takes her out to eat
She knows how to make it, and she knows how to keep
Some nights he gets to crying and confessing it all
The men he beat and robbed and left against the wall
She pats him on the shoulder, says, "Now, baby, don't you fret"
"Is this month's rent in the envelope yet?"

[Verse 5]
One night he came home with mud to his knees
Said, "Mama, I drove way out past the trees
There's a man in a ditch, and he's lying real still
I think that he's dead, Mama, maybe I killed"
She looked at the ceiling, she looked at the floor
Said, "Wipe off them boots 'fore you come through my door"
Then she held out her hand, said, "The grocery money, honey"
"The church will forgive you, but the gas man won't, sonny"

[Final Chorus]
Drug money mamas, say amen and pass the cash
She don't ask no questions, she just spends the stash
Rent's paid, lights on, a freezer full of meat
Drug money mamas, bless her heart, ain't she sweet

[Outro]
See you Sunday morning, she'll be sitting up front
Singing "Amazing Grace" with a hundred in her purse
While her boy sells dope out behind the church hearse.
[End]
[Silence]
