LYFE JENNINGS lyrics : "Mama"

(feat. Anthony Hamilton)




[Verse 1:]
Young Man

thirteen
running the streets
Living his dreams of being Nino Brown

Grandmother
who pleaded the 5th
Baby brother

who needed him
His little sister
believed in him

He needs to slow down

Then what happens next is something we see of a movie screen

Then his days as a ^!$$% came to an end
Police found him in a pool of blood, clinging onto life
That boy looked up and he said


[Chorus:]
Tell mama

I'm sorry
I was wrong
(I was wrong yeah)

Tell mommy
I'm sorry
I was wrong


[Verse 2: (Anthony Hamilton)]
Young girl

Sixteen
Running
The same streets

Living her dream of being Foxy Brown
And her teacher who
Tested her

And an uncle who
molested her
Heavenly father who

Still blessing her
She just chose to play around
Then

The pain was just too much
Then
We are just living today and dieing tomorrow

Said a prayer
Then closed her eyes
Nodded slowly

Then said wait God before I go
Tell mama


[Chorus:]
Tell mama
I'm sorry

I was wrong
(I was wrong yeah!)
Tell mommy

I'm sorry
I was wrong


[Breakdown:]
Somethings you can change
Somethings you can't

Somethings will never be the same
Some people cry
Some people fly

Which one will you choose in your life?
Mama you were right all along
Mama I was wrong

And another young lifes gone!
