Lyrics
Listen, mama, so many words to describe you
Strong would be an understatement
Warrior would suit you so much better
'Cause you've been fighting
She was just turning 16
Daddy left her out in the cold streets
He wasn't having it
He found all her sins underneath her mattress
Then suddenly, her daddy up and died
But still she sees her father there in Lucious eyes
Mama, oh mama
For everything you've been through
There's nothing that I won't do for you
Mama, oh, mama
See, you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you
Mama, I love you
Mama, mama, mama, I do love you
Mama, I love you
Mama, mama
In love with the thought of becoming queen
She never told, she did 17
She gave it all so unselfishly
And she did it all just for loyalty, that's my mama
I never knew someone to sacrifice, everything for love
Even gave up their whole lives
Oh, mama
For everything you've been through
Nothing that I won't do for you
Oh, mama
See, you deserve the best of what this world can offer
You're the reason for my being here
Mama, I'm so grateful, yes I am
I'm gon' be the one to guide your heart
Although Lucious raised us, you still made us from the sun
Mama, oh, mama
For everything you've been through
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Oh, mama
See, you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you
