Mama
I'm the one who sings their lullabies
I'm the one who wipes their tears they cry
I'm bible-readin', Jesus-preachin' on the in and outside
But God help you if you ever cross the line
Back off my babies, you can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama
Everybody's got their cheap two cents
Stranger, teachers, even the government
I'm not one to make a scene
But your crazy is my gasoline
Just try me and you'll find out what I mean
Back off my babies, you can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama
I'm the keeper and protector
I'm the frontline, the defender
I'm the comfort and the fighter
Like a Mama bear in the wild
A little pretty, pretty deadly
I ain't lookin' for a fight but I'm ready
I'm the grit and the grace
So, don't get in my way!
Back off my babies, you can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama
Oh, I'm Mama
Back off my babies
I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama
I'm the one who wipes their tears they cry
I'm bible-readin', Jesus-preachin' on the in and outside
But God help you if you ever cross the line
Back off my babies, you can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama
Everybody's got their cheap two cents
Stranger, teachers, even the government
I'm not one to make a scene
But your crazy is my gasoline
Just try me and you'll find out what I mean
Back off my babies, you can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama
I'm the keeper and protector
I'm the frontline, the defender
I'm the comfort and the fighter
Like a Mama bear in the wild
A little pretty, pretty deadly
I ain't lookin' for a fight but I'm ready
I'm the grit and the grace
So, don't get in my way!
Back off my babies, you can't replace me
Don't go thinkin' you know better
I'll do the prayin', I'll do the raisin'
I'll decide what's best because I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama
Oh, I'm Mama
Back off my babies
I'm Mama
Because I'm Mama
