Lyrics
Mama
Didn't raise no fool
I said, mama
She watchin' girls like you
You won't ever catch me slippin'
You won't ever catch me asleep
Girl, you must be trippin'
Tryna run around on me
Oh, mama
Didn't raise no fool
Didn't raise no
You the type that Kanye told me 'bout
You bite your nail until you sell me out, baby
I know the truth, I'm 'bout to air it out
'Cause I need somebody who's gonna hold me down
<span begin="49.620" end="52.055">Always accusin' me of runnin' round</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="52.049" end="53.353">(Runnin', runnin' round)</span></span>
You throwin' rocks in a glass house, baby
You know I got people all over town
'Cause I need somebody who's gonna hold me down
I don't hate the player
Oh, I sure don't hate the game
But I'm 'bout to make a movie
And I need you out the frame, 'cause
<span begin="1:10.630" end="1:11.473">Mama</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:11.264" end="1:12.196">(Mama)</span></span>
Didn't raise no fool
<span begin="1:16.949" end="1:18.531">I said, mama</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:18.281" end="1:19.381">(Mama)</span></span>
She watchin' girls like you
You won't ever catch me slippin'
You won't ever catch me asleep
Girl, you must be trippin'
Tryna run around on me
<span begin="1:31.091" end="1:32.646">Oh, mama</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:32.455" end="1:33.399">(Mama)</span></span>
Didn't raise no fool
Didn't raise no
I know the reason why you hang around
You only love me for my bank account, baby
I did the math, 'cause it ain't hard to count
And I need somebody who's gonna hold me down
No, we can't work it, work it, work it out
Swervin', swervin' when you come around
You know what goes around comes back around
And I need somebody who's gonna hold me down
I don't hate the player
Oh, I sure don't hate the game
But I'm 'bout to make a movie
And I need you out the frame, 'cause
<span begin="2:14.152" end="2:15.019">Mama</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:14.870" end="2:15.768">(Mama)</span></span>
Didn't raise no fool
<span begin="2:20.437" end="2:22.069">I said, mama</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:21.892" end="2:22.778">(Mama)</span></span>
She watchin' girls like you
You won't ever catch me slippin'
You won't ever catch me asleep
Girl, you must be trippin'
Tryna run around on me
<span begin="2:34.687" end="2:35.986">Oh, mama</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:35.959" end="2:36.962">(Mama)</span></span>
Didn't raise no fool
Didn't raise no
Fooled me for the last time
Feels good to be free
Must be out your damn mind
Runnin' round on me, 'cause
<span begin="2:49.428" end="2:50.311">Mama</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:50.078" end="2:51.062">(Mama)</span></span>
Didn't raise no fool
Didn't raise no
