The Story! - live

Let me tell you just a little about my mama
Mmm
And I hope this tale reminds you of yours too
It may get funny
Sometimes crying
There's some action I'm not lying
So let's listen to how the story goes

So Mama asked I follow some fair principles
That I ignored a lot cause I felt I was invincible
But 8 year old me would soon realize how wrong I was
When I play too much
And I fell into a gutter with steel rods
That was rough
My mama with ay3mhyehye3 she found me
And she put some healing ointment on my injury
And when there was no more pain
She would show me some canes
She would not let me go without some discipline

That was my Mama, my Mama
The very first, woman to ever care for me
Mama, my Mama
Aah
My only Mama
Always there for me
Mmm

So Mama never really had an education
But she made sure I were to elevate my station
Even though (Two plus two, times table too, this is true)
She could not help me with the homework that I brought
There was one thing that she diligently taught
That was greater than all
Read your bible, pray every day
She taught me this way
So my life would not sway
Read your bible, pray every day
That was her way for me

That was my Mama (I know no other one but you) my Mama
The very first woman to ever care for me
Mama (She'll always be my Mama), my Mama
Aah
My only Mama
Always there for me
Mmm

When I went to high school
Only Mama came to visit me
She didn't have much to give to me
It was enough sitting under a tree
Together, I thought we'd stay so forever
But she would leave me to never come back
Oh she left me
Hmm
