My Mama Told Me

My mama told me don't listen to those lil boys
They not just trying to play with my toys
At the time I didn't know what she meant
I just shook my head like I understood it

My mama told me : don't let them push you around
So when she pushed me that day I pushed her to the ground. I got in trouble of course, but I stood my ground.
So I was proud.

My mama told me : don't put all my eggs in one basket, it's cool to believe in it, but make sure I have a backup just in case those eggs start to crack and break. So I always kept a reserve.

My mama told me that love shouldn't cost a thing
Unless he wining and dining you, being a gentlemen, doing the courtship thing, but at the end of that all she better see a engagement ring... Goodness mama

My mama told me what you won't do another woman will, so make sure that man is fed, be his woman and his best friend, don't give him a reason to window shop, because with me at home I should have it on lock. Truth mama.

My mama told me what he won't do another man will. When I've given it my all, and he's given nothing but heartache and headache and time and time again promises are broken, then its time to go. I hit the door mama.

My mama gave me the best advice that she could ever give. Be a God fearing woman, and the lord will provide
Because from him you can't hide your pain or cover his eyes. He sees all and is in your corner. So I prayed mama.

My mama taught me to be all the woman that I could be.
I still go by the advice my mama gave to me.
