Well listen up to what I say
I wasn't born just yesterday
I've been down the road and back a time or two
Well this should come as no surprise
You can't pull the wool over my eyes
I've had it up to here now I'm throughAnd I'm sick and tired of fools
Tired of playin' by the rules
Time to strut my cool
'Cause my Mama didn't raise no foolMama didn't raise no fool
Well my Mama didn't raise no fool
You can't tell me what to do
'Cause Mama didn't raise no foolWhat goes around comes back around
And I've been around a few times by now
I've seen it all before and I've paid my dues
So don't tell me no stories
And don't tell me no lies
'Cause my mother brought me up to be a bad mother too, yeaAnd I'm sick and tired of fools
Tired of playin' by the rules
Time to strut my cool
'Cause my Mama didn't raise no foolMama didn't raise no fool
Well my Mama didn't raise no fool
You can't tell me what to do
'Cause Mama didn't raise, Mama didn't raise
Mama didn't raise no foolMama didn't raise no fool
Well my Mama didn't raise no fool
You can't tell me what to do
'Cause Mama didn't raise no fool
Well Ma-Ma-Ma-Mama didn't raise no foolWell my Mama didn't raise no fool
You can't tell me what to do
'Cause Mama didn't raise, Mama didn't raise
Mama didn't raise no foolMama didn't raise no fool
Well my Mama didn't raise no fool
You can't tell me what to do
'Cause Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise
Mama didn't raise no fool
