shigga shay - mama told me lyrics

[intro:]
this one goes out, to all the moms in the world
i consider them warriors
chea!

[hook:]
my mama told me, when i was young,
she’d sit beside me, ‘my only son… ‘
and listen closely… to what i say
and if you do this… it’ll help you, some sunny day

[verse:]
when i was young, only you believed in my dreams
when they told me i wasn’t the one, you still gave me self-esteem
i remember everything you said
when i was down with a fever, layin cold on the bed
i told you i was gonna represent singapore
and now you holdin’ down every single one of my metaphors
i cursed, i fought, i lied and cried
and if it wasn’t for you, i probably woulda died
you single handedly turned me from trash to a pearl
a lady responsible for bringing me into the world
you were always there, when hope was forlorn
a day after 9/11 a star was born
you knew i was special so you told me to do it
knewing that i was much more than marketed music
i would never forget what you’ve done for me
cause without you, i wouldn’t have a soul to breathe

[hook:]
oh take your time… don’t learn too fast…
troubles will come… and they will past…
you find a woman… and you’ll find love…
and don’t forget there is a someone… up above

[verse:]
whenever i fell you were always there to catch me
fillin’ my heart with love so it’s never empty
the love you’ve given can’t be described with a pen
i wouldn’t mind livin life as your child again
you still stayed when i refused to even listen
there were days you worked late just to pay tuition
but my intuition told me you had a mission
you wrote me a bright future now i have a vision
of the world in my palms, ya baby boy’s all grown
hugged me with open arms when i was all alone
there was a time i did real bad in school
you didn’t give up even when they said i was a fool
with your love and support i know i gotta make it
makin you proud cause i’m what you created
if i get signed i ma get you a home
i made this song cause i’m more comfortable speakin on tha microphone

[hook:]
and get your l-st, from a rich man’s gold…
all that you need now… is in your soul…
and you can do this… if you try…
all that i want from you my son… is to be satisfied!
and be a simple… kind of man… and be something…
you love and understand… let it be a simple… kind of man…
oh won’t you do this all… if you can…

[verse:]
call me the human torch my rhymes on fire
my moms a warrior and pops is a cancer survivor
didn’t mind when ‘i kissed a girl like ‘katy perry’
cause they say that i’m sweeter than ben & jerry’s
you must be proud of the product you created
i work so hard yet they say i’m overrated
don’t tell me but show that’s what mama told me
hold me closely like a book then carefully unfold me
whatever yo momma say you gotta pay attention
cause her words probaby pay a king’s ransom
if my hand is a gun, i got it c-cked like will smith(hanc-ck)
i’m ma use it to protect even if my bones shift
i ain’t gon follow my dreams i ma lead them with glory
my momma led a life you could read in a story
i owe you so much that i can’t repay
without you there wouldn’t be no shigga shay!

[hook:]
oh don’t you worry… you’ll find yourself…
follow your heart… and nothing else…
and you can do this… oh yeah… if you try…
all that i want from you my son… is to be satisfied!
and be a simple… kind of man… and be something…
you love and understand… let it be a simple… be a simpleman…
oh won’t you do this all… if you can…

{no one can scold me, that’s what mama told me}
{don’t tell me but show me, that’s what mama told me}
