《Make Mama Proud(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Make Mama Proud - Lil' Flip

[00:00:10] In elementary I used crayons even chalk

[00:00:13] I learned to count money before I could read and talk

[00:00:16] And my mama told me son you need to shine

[00:00:19] I couldn't stand at the back I had to lead the line

[00:00:21] I use to make good grades but I talked in class

[00:00:24] In middle school I was late when I walked in class

[00:00:27] If the teacher ran an errand I taught the class

[00:00:30] And what I didn't know I was about to ask

[00:00:32] And just because I played ball I got easy grades

[00:00:35] And when I turned 13 I got even fades

[00:00:38] Everybody wearing Air Macs Ree's and J's

[00:00:41] But all my parents cared about was B's and A's

[00:00:43] In high school I picked up my pen and pad

[00:00:46] I had dreams of pulling up in a Benz or Jag

[00:00:49] I had to get it on my own I couldn't depend on dad

[00:00:52] I had to grow up too fast but then I'm glad

[00:00:54] Because the stuff I know now I wouldn't believe it

[00:00:57] The main goals that I set I wouldn't achieve it

[00:01:00] I'd probably be locked up or running the streets

[00:01:03] I'd probably wouldn't have platinum in front of my teeth

[00:01:06] I'd probably still be mocking trying to earn a dollar

[00:01:08] I'd probably be in the hood selling sherm or powder

[00:01:11] But instead I'm making bread legal dough

[00:01:13] Going to church and staying away from these evil hoes

[00:01:16] You only got one life you better do what you can

[00:01:19] Cause when you turn thirteen you are a man

[00:01:22] And I can't be broke so I'ma rock the crowd

[00:01:25] It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud

[00:01:28] You only got one life you better do what you can

[00:01:30] Cause when you turn thirteen you are a man

[00:01:33] And I can't be broke so I'ma rock the crowd

[00:01:36] It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud

[00:01:39] There's a place called heaven and a place called hell

[00:01:41] There's a place called freedom and a place called jail

[00:01:44] And if you go to jail they gone treat you bad

[00:01:47] Take your commissary and beat you bad

[00:01:50] So I'm staying out of trouble I'm chasing my dream

[00:01:52] I know you see your little boy on t v screens

[00:01:55] I'm blowing up your little boy making it happen

[00:01:58] I'm not selling dope mama I'm making it rapping

[00:02:01] So when you go to sleep at night you know I'm safe

[00:02:03] Cause in Houston everyday somebody catching a case

[00:02:06] Like yesterday my partner went to jail

[00:02:09] And he ain't coming home until he fifty seven

[00:02:12] He nineteen so you do the math

[00:02:14] I got smart man I choose to rap

[00:02:17] So when I grow up my kids can have a good life

[00:02:20] That's all I wrote y'all have good night

[00:02:23] You only got one life you better do what you can

[00:02:26] Cause when you turn thirteen you are a man

[00:02:28] And I can't be broke so I'ma rock the crowd

[00:02:30] It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud

[00:02:34] You only got one life you better do what you can

[00:02:36] Cause when you turn thirteen you are a man

[00:02:39] And I can't be broke so I'ma rock the crowd

[00:02:42] It's up to me I gotta make my mama proud
