Brand new mama, I understand
|
It's hard as hell being a young mother and
|
you need support your conscious told you not to abort
|
so to your child you're a hero of some sort
|
But, hey, the worst is over
|
You're ready to do this
|
I got faith and your baby renewed this
|
faith that everything will be fine
|
Now an adult, no more youth time
|
[Anytime you need help sister]
|
We'll be there just give us a ring
|
We will help you raise that king
|
Word to the mother cause it's a black thing
|
I respect you in a strong way
|
Super late nights cause your baby slept all day
|
but mama don't sleep, your life's a turning page
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Mama's always on stage (4x)
|
|
Hey, let me guess, you're bored
|
Wanna get loose, attack the dance floor
|
Cool, I'll hold her, you have a good time
|
I'll keep your baby awake so baby sleeps after nine
|
This is reality, we need to turn our minds
|
Brothers talking revolution but leave their babies behind
|
Well sister, he's a sucker, just leave'em be
|
The revolution is now up to brothers like me
|
to step in cause your man stepped out
|
[The goal:] To raise the children, no doubt
|
so let's go to it and possibly
|
bring a generation of nat's in the future, see
|
I respect you in a strong way
|
Super late nights cause your baby slept all day
|
But mama don't sleep, your life's a turning page
|
Mama's always on stage
|
Keep up your strength now cause we must grow somehow
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Mama's always on stage (4x)
|
Can't be a revolution without women
|
Can't be a revolution without children
|
|
I improved throughout my life
|
all of this just to soothe a wife
|
brothers wear your black clothes
|
talk your 5% talk
|
Words of wisdom should be ways of wisdom
|
That's exactly how you must walk
|
Life's too short, your mission's too dire
|
Nurture another mind before yours expires
|
Pass it on, push it along
|
Like the brother said it in that one song
|
We respect you all the way
|
Late, late nights cause your baby slept all day
|
but mama's got to stay strong, carry it on
|
Hey, mama's on stage
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Mama's always on stage
|
