Not Your Mama

[Verse 1 - RIOT, drum & bass open, dry and close] No — I'm not doin' that. Grown man askin' where his keys at. Twenty-eight and you want a plate made up Boy, your mama did too much. [Verse 1B - SABLE, breathy, almost bored] Want the soft one? She raised you. Still folds your laundry if you ask her to. I'm not tuckin' anybody in. I don't clap for the bare minimum. [Pre-Chorus - LUX, restrained, beat drops out] They say cold like it's a bad thing He wants a woman till he wants a rescue Somebody's gotta let him grow So [Chorus - LUX lead, all five layered] Not your mama — I don't do the fixin' Not your mama — go call her, she'll listen Call me cold. Call me the villain. I'm not raisin' a man twice. [Post-Chorus - hard drum drop, chopped vocal stabs, all five] 안 돼, 안 돼 (no, no) 안 돼, 안 돼 (grow up) 안 돼, 안 돼 (no, no) I don't clap for the bare minimum [Verse 2 - VERSA, rapid-fire, theatrical] One with the laundry bag at her front door One who calls her every time we go to war One who's thirty-two, never bought a gift One who thinks a text message counts as a fix One who wants a woman with his mother's face Different boy. Same exact place. [Verse 2B - VERSA, half-time, plain, no swagger] I'm not the second mother. I'm just the one who says no. [Pre-Chorus - LUX + SABLE harmony] They say cold like it's a bad thing He wants a woman till he wants a rescue Somebody's gotta let him grow So [Chorus - all five] Not your mama — I don't do the fixin' Not your mama — go call her, she'll listen Call me cold. Call me the villain. I'm not raisin' a man twice. [Post-Chorus - drop] 안 돼, 안 돼 (no, no) 안 돼, 안 돼 (grow up) 안 돼, 안 돼 (no, no) I don't clap for the bare minimum [Bridge - JUNE solo, piano only, no drums, weathered rasp] He called at two a.m. and I let it ring. Hardest thing I ever did was not pick up. Loved him enough to let him sit in it alone. [Bridge Build - drums swell under] JUNE: Come mornin' he was fine RIOT: Come mornin' he was fine ALL: So — [Final Chorus - all five, modulate up a half step] Not your mama — I don't do the fixin' Not your mama — go call her, she'll listen Call me cold. Call me the villain. I'm not raisin' a man twice. [Post-Chorus Vamp - full drop, biggest moment] 안 돼, 안 돼 (no, no) 안 돼, 안 돼 (grow up) 안 돼, 안 돼 (no, no) I don't clap for the bare minimum [Outro - ride-out, layers thinning one by one] LUX: (ad-lib runs, wordless) JUNE: Come mornin' he was fine SABLE: I don't do the fixin' RIOT: You hear that? ALL: That's all five. (안 돼)
