Mama & Me
Lyricist:Nellie Marie Mc Kay
Mama, I don't wanna be here It's alright darling I don't wanna be here anymore I don't wanna be Darling, darling, darling, darling I don't wanna be here anymore What do, what do you want?
I, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna I wanna, I wanna pony, pony
It's just my mama and me And though I know it may be Hard to be mama and me But we've got time, time, time
With my mom by my side I know I'll always survive We'll never give up the fight 'Cause we got time, time, time, time
I didn't wanna go so far from home But it was time you know Children got to roam But now I need her so, she's my mom
There's a lot of things that I'm proud of in this world I got a pinch of Shirley Chisholm and a sprinkle of 'That girl' Are you looking at me? 'Cause there's no one else here I'm a legally blond three, cursed with big hair
And now the greatest way to world, it's time to give credit To the person who's the limit, although she's never said it To whom I am indebted, who cuts the final edit It's my mama, mama, mama and I want you all to get it
It's just my mama and me And though I know it may be Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Hard to be mama and me But we've got time, time, time
With my mom by my side I know I'll always do right We'll never give up the fight 'Cause we got time, time, time, time
So hold on, hold tight, this meeting's adjourned For people with degrees, you got a lot to learn We've been earnin' jack shit, man, feelin' the burn Lost the girdle jump the hurdle so now it's our turn
See I've been livin' with my mama since I was an embryo Never had Nintendo saw alotta Brecht though I only knew new since Jewel went techno You think I'm gonna listen and write you a check, no
I was so small, barely big enough to crawl My mother would call me as I stalled by the wall In the daycare I was placed in while she's making low wages My crayons tracing those crazy sad faces
That I tasted my soul all those coals in the mountains Moving awfully slow, scolding me when I'm lonely And waiting for mama to unfold me and hold me She told me, we were gonna be okay
It's just my mama and me And though I know it may be Hard to be mama and me But we've got time, time, time
With my mom by my side I know I'll always do right We'll never give up the fight 'Cause we got time, time, time, time
I think back to those days that makes me so mad [Incomprehensible]fell in the chasm she had to collapse I'm an educated woman but I wanna attack Wanna slap my grand dad, wanna whack my dad
Where were you when we were at the welfare office? The atmosphere's toxic, the clerks are obnoxious The kids are selling chocolate, chomping their losses Can't even charge the clothes or play with oshbagosh boxes
Those bruises, short fuses, with bad guys with black eyes The losin', the oozin', the blood down your right thigh The wantin' to die with your nose broken, heart chokin' Hitchin' a ride with a chain smokin', plain spoken Jim
Who's gonna drive you as far as he can But he ain't got the rent and you ain't got a man What now mama, tell me you got a plan We're gonna make little darling with a government's grant
It's just my mama and me And though I know it may be Hard to be mama and me But we've got time, time, time
With my mom by my side I know I'll always survive We'll never give up the fight 'Cause we got time, time, time, time
I didn't wanna go so far from home But it was time you know Mom needs time alone But now I need her so, she's my mom
I hate you mother, leave me alone I love you mommy, I love you mommy I love you mommy, I love you mommy
I want a suicide pill Get me a suicide pill, mommy I wanna die with you I wanna suicide pill I wanna die with you You bitch, get me a suicide pill
