(Mama)

(Promise me)

 

I’ve lost count of the times

I promised everyone

I would make it, I would do it

I have what it takes

 

I’ve lost count of the times

I almost gave up

Would it save me, if I threw it

All away

 

But my sky

Can’t hold

Without music

 

Mama said do better

I hate it when you say you’ll quit

Mama said do better

You haven’t given your best

Mama said do better

I didn’t raise you like this

You have to work hard to get

What you’re going after

Mama said

Mama said do better

 

(You ain’t seen nothin’ yet)

(You ain’t seen nothin’ yet)

 

I watched her spend all those nights

Praying to her god

That I would make it, that I’d turn back

Into the person she liked

 

I saw all those tears in her eyes

Learning to love

The one mistake that, still hurts her

Mommy, I’m trying

 

But the sky

Can’t hold

Without music

 

Mama said do better

I hate it when you say you’ll quit

Mama said do better

You haven’t given your best

Mama said do better

I didn’t raise you like this

You have to work hard to get

What you’re going after

Mama said

Mama said do better

 

(You ain’t seen nothin’ yet)

(You ain’t seen nothin’ yet)

She’s a polyglot, a doctor

Did I mention, she’s a mom, too

I’d do anything for her

Buy her all the stars and moons

That’s a lie, I can’t even “do better”

(You ain’t seen nothin’ yet)

(You ain’t seen nothin’ yet)

 

Mama said do better

I hate it when you say you’ll quit

Mama said do better

You haven’t given your best

Mama said do better

I didn’t raise you like this

You have to work hard to get

What you’re going after

 

I tried to do better

And look what happened

I tried to do better

You’re just not hearing what I’ve said

I tried to do better

I also wonder how I ended up like this

‘Cause this is already me working my hardest

To get what I’m going after and it’s a mess

But I guess

I shouldn’t ask, just do better
