[Verse: A-Q]
Mama was a teacher, Daddy was a civil servant
Civil service to the game, without reassurance
Been on the service lane i been driving slow
Mama said always know when its time to go
From shabby clothes to designers bro
It’s not a rags to riches story
It just rhymes and flows
Fancy clothes never defined me, no
The son of john is spending time with rose
Never hard to reach, all my lines are old
I still got the same numbers like minus-0
Never had a 9 to 5 just a ’95 flow
Flow so cold, your sinuses explode
Mama always said, do the best and nothing else
Read good books and always think cutting edge
Why i am breaking the shells of these no good rotten eggs
And throwing this wack rappers on that dusty shells
[Hook]
Mama said
Take one step and you’d find it
Time and chance is how you time it
What goes around comes around
But if you are smart about it
You can always go around it
Mistakes are lessons learn from it
Everything you do earn from it
If its yours let it go and it would come back to be yours
And if it doesn’t learn from it
[Verse: A-Q]
Mama said all that glitters will surely fades
And if it doesn’t fade, then it means it doesn’t age
If it doesn’t age you would die or let it go
The property of another that would die and let it go
That’s why I pay attention to intangible needs
It’s full circle, the tangent is 40 degrees
It’s universal, still I’m in a circle of gees
That do purple and herbs, like they recycling trees
Mama said don’t do drugs, Chinedu listen
Pulling on my ears in the kitchen, mama I feel you
I swear this new rappers keep taking the wrong prescriptions
I overdosed on wisdom now they looking like a meal too
New rappers you rapping like new rappers
Ask about me new rappers i slew rappers
Ask about me new rappers I’m too dapper
Your mama ain’t teach you manners you new rappers
Drinks on me lets do Cubana
Catch up new rappers i see you dudes after
You make your first mill’, i got next still
Running the game from the same spot, I’m on a treadmill
Take your 10 percent deals, your med pills, you dead still
Poison from my pencil, the lead kills
Been off the top for so long, I forgot how the pen feels
Never forget where you’re from, mama said its not over until you’re done
Mama said 1 plus 1 is not always 2, if you can’t figure it out
Just make sure you make it count
Count 7 zeroes in my account
Not big on streams but I’m sitting on large amounts
Mama said its time I get a spouse
That said on behalf of you I’m signing out
[Hook]
Mama said

If its yours let it go and it would come back to be yours
And if it doesn’t learn from it
