lirik lagu e-a-ski - mama use to say
[verse 1]
oh, my mama used to say, get a good grade in school, n~gga
or i’ll beat yo’ ass ’til it’s blue, n~gga
’cause society is f~cked
the only way a black man can make it is not to give up
how in the h~ll could you tell me that, then? huh
’cause my head was hard as a brick, man
i couldn’t see into the future
i was too d~mn bad, runnin’ around playin’ girl tag
give me a break, mom, huh
i just wanna grow up and have a little fun
kick it with the homies
hang on the corner for a while and drink 40s
maybe smoke a little dank until my breath stank
i got no money to put in my gas tank
i’m 17 and i wanna start selling drugs
then i’m being with my homies ’cause they’re street thugs
my mama used to cry all f~cking night
praying to god for me to act right
a single parent so i rebelled like a motherf~cker
selling drugs to fiends i call suckers
she used to call my dad up to try to set me straight
but it was a little too late
[chorus]
mama used to say
oh, mama used to say
mama used to say, huh
oh, mama used to say
mama used to say
mama used to say, huh
mama used to say
oh, mama used to say
[verse 2]
mama used to say, the way i’m going i won’t live long
i talked back to my mama and said, “you got it wrong”
my homies got much love for me, huh
can’t you tell? i’m makin’ h~lla money
they’re the family that i never ever once had
they be watching my back, so f~ck dad
he never ever played an active role in my life
and when he did, y’all always used to fight
i’m too d~mn confused
but in the streets, i refuse to lose
i got n~ggas looking up to me
i got b~tches and cars, and of course, i got money
i’m making more than you, mom, than you do in a week
you’re so broke that you can barely make ends meet
i wanna buy you a house, but you turn me down
you won’t accept no money from the underground
but then yelling, “god help me pay the bills”
i just don’t understand the f~ckin’ ordeal
is this the way you wanna live every day?
i can’t figure it out, ’cause mama used to say
[chorus]
oh, mama used to say, huh
mama used to say
oh, mama used to say
mama used to say
mama used to say
oh, mama used to say
mama used to say
[verse 3]
i got a call saying my homie poke was shot
some motherf~ckers tryna run our rock spot
i loaded the mac~10 and got the ak
called up the n~ggas and we were on our way
to the find the motherf~ckers that shot poke
and the look on my face, i was no joke
ready to k!ll a n~gga, and my hand on the trigger
heart pumpin’, but i’m gonna shoot somethin’
we had a feelin’ who bust the caps
so we went to the spot so we could bust the caps back
bullets flyin’, motherf~ckers dyin’
while i was shootin’, i heard my mom cryin’
in the back of my head
come to find out, a n~gga like me is dead
how could i get popped out the game? huh
i was the man, and they all praised my name
i died doin’ sh~t for a little fame
and for my mom, things won’t be the same
and the price a n~gga have to pay
when you don’t listen to what your mama used to say
[chorus]
oh, what mama used to say
what your mama used to say
mama used to say
oh, mama used to say
mama used to say
oh, mama used to say
mama used to say
[outro]
and i’m out, remember, peace
