Momma Told Me
"Okay it may not work today it may not work tomorrow but
This is the right thing and this is what I'm doing
And this is what's feeding me
So, just, just believe in what you're doing
And if it's, and if you don't believe in it then you're not doing it
You haven't figured out the thing that you do best yet"
Yeah
Look I got the heart of a lion the soul of a fuckin survivor I follow my dreams
A hustler mentality since elementary the kid who was turning a dollar to Gs
Was never afraid to say what's on my mind if we're talking know I keep it honest and free
So speak up if you got a problem with me
I know more then often they're not who they seem
These people are fake
I'm mindful I see the mistakes that I make and I switch up my moves
They're trying to foil the plan but never I'm soil I know how to stick to my roots
Been trippin a lot but the strings on my kicks aren't loose
You hatin I chuck up the deuce
I need me a fuckin masseuse on salary
Pass me a couple of doobs of Cali weed
Listening to Valerie gone on The Weeknd
I'm still in the valley so far from my peak and
I'm hungry as fuck so I hardly been eatin
I try not to clench up my jaw I be tweakin
Reminding myself that it's all for a reason
These words they come straight from the heart know I mean em
I just wanna shine like a star in the evening
They say I'm the truth and you gotta believe em
Please
Oh okay now I remember what my momma told me
Okay
Don't go rushing life just take it slowly
Okay
Even when it's gettin dark and lonely
Okay
All I know is everything is gone be
Okay
I remember what my momma told me
Okay
Don't go rushing life just take it slowly
Okay
Even when it's gettin dark and lonely
Okay
All I know is everything is gone be
Okay
Do you have McDonald's money
I didn't back then and I still don't now
Still ask for a front when I wanna blow clouds
Wish I could pay rent with a million dollar smile
But my landlord need that check cut
And my job just fucked my check up
Plus I don't get paid for the next seven days
And I get week when that stress come
Down on me
Like all of these blessings I prayed for
Is God lookin out for me or is there someone that I'm being played for
Cause I can't tell
When my uncle died I stopped doing so well
Working on the puzzle that was meant for my life
Got thrown for a loop came back around and lost a piece of myself
Goddamn I'm
Blessed
And honestly planning A.Robbery but I'm
Blessed
Fashionista my momma so proud of me
She don't gotta coach me no more
But still get credit every time I score
With my uncle name on my back
Go head throw my name on the board
Ali
Okay now I remember what my momma told me
Okay
Don't go rushing life just take it slowly
Okay
Even when it's gettin dark and lonely
Okay
All I know is everything is gone be
Okay
I remember what my momma told me
Okay
Don't go rushing life just take it slowly
Okay
Even when it's gettin dark and lonely
Okay
All I know is everything is gone be
Okay
