Mama Lyrics – Kim Walker-Smith

I’m the one who sings their lullabies
I’m the one who wipes the tears they cry
I’m bible-reading
Jesus-preaching
On the in and outside
But God help you if you ever cross the line

Back off my babies
You can’t replace me
Don’t go thinking you know better
I’ll do the praying
I’ll do the raising

I’ll decide what’s best
Because I’m MAMA
Because I’m MAMA

Everybody’s got their cheap two cents
Stranger, teachers, even the government
I’m not to make a scene
But your crazy is my gasoline
Just try me and you’ll find out what I mean

Back off my babies
You can’t replace me
Don’t go thinking you know better
I’ll do the praying
I’ll do the raising
I’ll decide what’s best
Because I’m MAMA

I’m the keeper and protector
I’m the frontline, the defender
I’m the comfort and the fighter
Like a mama bear in the wild
A little pretty, pretty deadly
I ain’t looking for a fight but I’m ready
I’m the grit and the grace

So, don’t get in my way!

Back off my babies
You can’t replace me
Don’t go thinking you know better
I’ll do the praying
I’ll do the raising
I’ll decide what’s best
Because I’m MAMA
Because I’m MAMA
I’m MAMA
Back off my babies
I’m mama
Because I’m MAMA
