[Verse 1]
You remind me of my mother’s greatest fear
Gave her life for my protection
Through the years, from my tears
Then you came along and tore it down
With your deception, you let me drown
And all the tears my mother saved
Hit me like a wave, mm
(Let’s go, b!tch)
[Verse 2]
Oh, beware the woman scorned
She would move a mountain for me
Cross the driest desert for her child
Like a hurricane, hеr pain would rip the roots out from the ground
[Chorus]
Oh, sing for me
What you holding onto?
Sing for mе
Mama’s coming for you
Mother’s coming
Keep your head up, baby
Keep your head
I will hold you steady
And, oh, it hit me like a wave
I have been betrayed
(Sing for me, girl)
[Post-Chorus]
Mama’s coming
Woah, sing
Mama’s coming
Sing for me
[Verse 3]
Baby, I know he cut you bad (Cut me deep)
You can run away, save what you had (I can’t run no more)
Maybe there’s a world where you can let him stay (No)
Boys stay boys but men can change, yeah (H’es no man of mine)
Keep the sunshine on your face (No)
This is real life god knows love ain’t perfect (I known love ain’t perfect, trust me, mother)
[Verse 4]
Mother, I don’t know where to start
If I stay will he break my heart
Maybe there’s still time to explain
But I’m too tied up in my pain now
Start to sweat, it’s hard to breathe
I cry for help could you get here any faster, any faster?
Sing for me
[Chorus]
Oh, sing for me
What you holding onto?
Sing for me
Mama’s coming for you
Mother’s coming
Keep your head up, baby
Keep your head
I will hold you steady
Hold me steady
I’m so heavy, mother
Hold me steady
Oh
And, oh, it hit me like a wave
I have been betrayed
[Outro]
I need your protection
I need your protection (You have my protection)
Come on, give me your protection (You have my protection)
I need your protection (You have my protection)
