Title - Mamma Said Band - KoBel Year - 2025 __________ What began as a creative experiment between two artists, Ko and Maribel, evolved into KoBel, a name as unique as the duo's sound. KoBel is a symbol of their collaborative identity, and their big break was just as unconventional. A raw, unmixed demo tape, recorded during a late-night session, was accidentally left in a producer's car and eventually found its way to a record label. The sound was so undeniable that it earned them a deal, a testament to the serendipity that defines their music. __________ My mamma always said I'd be a winner Heard the song in my sentence Fridge light hits a bottle of water A cold kind of penance For the path I chose through the changin' seasons Huntin' for a new sound A new set of reasons Got my headphones on deaf to all the sirens I'm just focused on the glow where the wavform's climbing And we just ride to the beat, yeah, slow and low Got nowhere else to be got nowhere else to go Just the moonlight on the floor and a dream in my head Livin' off the words that my mamma said Yeah, livin' off the words that my mamma said... (...mamma said...) Remember cruisin' back when the gas was cheaper? Talkin' over engines dreamin' through the speakers? Now my homies punchin' clocks they got families and leases And I'm just here sampling the static from our old home videos Puttin' 'em together hopin' it makes a picture A mixtape of the struggle a holy kind of scripture They sayin' "get a real job" but this feels real to me This hunt for a melody for a way to be free And we just ride to the beat, yeah, slow and low Got nowhere else to be got nowhere else to go Just the moonlight on the floor and a dream in my head Livin' off the words that my mamma said Yeah, livin' off the words that my mamma said... (...mamma said...) Sometimes I wonder if I'm chasin' a ghost The one that I want is it the one that I need most? The doubt settles soft as dust on a record sleeve Askin' if my moment's already taken its leave But then the loop comes back around, so clean and so crisp And I find a little power in a slowly closing fist A quiet understanding not a fire in the soul... Just a moment's peace that feels like my control (Livin' off the words that my mamma said) Just ridin' to the beat... slow and low (Yeah, livin' off the words that my mamma said...) For you, Ma. (that my mamma said...) Yeah. (...mamma said...)
