[intro] (Mama say, mama say) *You know mama saying a lot of stuff* (Mama say mama say) *All stuff, whole lotta stuff* (Mama say mama say) *Whole lotta stuff that’s true* [verse] I can think about a long time past Faded tan slacks, mass panic attacks, this boy could not relax Pulling back the blanket on a dead ambition, got some broken repetition (Broken broken repetition) Gotta try something sly, blow the coop and make a play Make a personality personable a nice stay Make way for a mainstay, learn how to bay A better human person cause I obey what mama say [chorus] (Mama say mama say) Ain’t ya heard what mama say? (Mama say mama say) Gonna take it to the grave (Mama say mama say) You know I ain’t playin (Mama say mama say) Ain’t ya heard what mama say? [verse] The lessons we heard mama say Echo out our life today Reminding us to keep us be a brand new lesson here today Can always be a new today, forever be a new tomorrow Sorrow, time lost spent elsewhere but borrowed From the tomorrow future break just to follow us out to make Soldiers, holding the ground we Make motions, oceans, waves goodbye the pain rose up. Take it in your heart and hold it all to the future, use the energy it provides as heat, and remember what mama say. [chorus] (Mama say mama say) Ain’t ya heard what mama say? (Mama say mama say) Gonna take it to the grave (Mama say mama say) You know I ain’t playin (Mama say mama say) Ain’t ya heard what mama say? *Drum solo* [acoustic chorus] (Mama say mama say) Ain’t ya heard what mama say? (Mama say mama say) Gonna take it to the grave (Mama say mama say) You know I ain’t playin (Mama say mama say) Ain’t ya heard what mama say?
