Mama used to tell me don't you rush to get grown
Workin' 9 to 5 and paying bills on yo own
Think you know it all about the world but you don't
Then I left and I realized that she was right all along
'Cause i been thinking bout the days I used to play with friends
But nowadays ain't nobody round when the favors end
And nowadays ain't nobody round when you need a favor
Went from MySpace Top 10s to complete strangers
But really, who could blame us
This life shit came at us quick,
You wanna cop them Louboutins but you behind on your rent
You wanna ride around the city, flex and show off your Benz
But they don't know your APR is almost 20%
All they know is that you "got it" and they wish it was them
But all that shit is pretend
And all this shit is intense
But I been counting all my blessings
Turnin' losses to wins
I let go and I let God
Repeat the process again
That's what my mama said
Mama Said
