[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
She carried me when she was fifteen
~#**************#~
Had me when she was sixteen
~#**************#~
Reminiscing on how well she did things
~#**************#~
Got with Pop, then on 11/8/71, she had this king
~#**************#~
She was baring that on that day
~#**************#~
I was just a staring upon that face
~#**************#~
With her, just declaring, my mom said “Wait”
~#**************#~
Then her and her sisters named me Aaron Dontez Yates
~#**************#~
She tried to give me everything I seen
~#**************#~
KCP&L Gas Service was her means for green
~#**************#~
Took me to the movies one day for Halloween to scream
~#**************#~
Got me a big wheel couldnt afford a green machine
~#**************#~
But I loved it
~#**************#~
When I got it, all my friends swarming
~#**************#~
‘Cause in the projects big wheels wasnt the norm
~#**************#~
And Im pouring this out to the woman Im adoring
~#**************#~
She knew I like Sugar Smacks and a fried bologna sandwich in the morning
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
~#**************#~
Mama
~#**************#~
I take you everywhere I go
~#**************#~
I thank youre mine, thats my mama nem
~#**************#~
I only know what I know cause of my mama
~#**************#~
You gave me life and made me me
~#**************#~
I dont know who Id be without
~#**************#~
My auntie nem, my sisters and, my uncle nem
~#**************#~
Mama nem
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
When I got bad grades I was in the heat seat
~#**************#~
Got a whoopin when I used another kids cheat sheet
~#**************#~
But when I got a good grade card she bought me Beat street
~#**************#~
The single, ayo I had that mug on repeat
~#**************#~
Mama nem taught me rhythm that I use yep
~#**************#~
My uncle nem says stay on your Ps and Qs neph
~#**************#~
Mama talking catch you, if you actin like you deaf
~#**************#~
God-fearing still taught me how to two-step
~#**************#~
Took me to church, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
~#**************#~
Then Sunday thinking why me?
~#**************#~
That was mama nem placin the love inside me
~#**************#~
Our house was lively
~#**************#~
My granny house, 8 girls and 4 boys beside me
~#**************#~
Thanking mama nem, for the weight that you carry
~#**************#~
Pulling my teeth with thread sayin “boy you scary”
~#**************#~
I ‘memba mama laughin sayin “Is it loose?”
~#**************#~
“Very”
~#**************#~
Pull it then, put cash in my pillow sayin its the tooth fairy
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]

~#**************#~
Mama nem
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Tech N9ne]
~#**************#~
Epilepsy at 18, the lupus hit her
~#**************#~
Pancreatitis was taking her but God was with her
~#**************#~
I asked to show me something cause I was all bitter
~#**************#~
Right after that the pancreatitis had all withered
~#**************#~
Mama? “Yeah”
~#**************#~
Mama!! “What?”
~#**************#~
MAMA!!! “WHAT Boy?”
~#**************#~
Im a big timer
~#**************#~
Im always away from you cause of this music biz drama
~#**************#~
But I really miss you and Im always thinking bout big mama
~#**************#~
She used to make that Thanks Giving and Christmas dinner
~#**************#~
Grandmas home cooking easily show up Mrs. Winners
~#**************#~
Mama nem would take you in even if youre vicious sinner
~#**************#~
Nobody would ever take that humongous love thats within her
~#**************#~
If your mama gone, heavens where mom belongs
~#**************#~
But if your mama home, call ya mama phone
~#**************#~
And say I love you mama and you are not alone
~#**************#~
I just wanted to thank you and thats why I made this mama song
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
