Mama Lyrics


Verse 1:
Young Man/ thirteen/ running the streets/ Living his dreams of being Nino Brown/ Grandmother/ who pleaded the 5th/ Baby brother/ who needed him/ His little sister/ believed in him/ He needs to slow down/
Then what happens next is something we see of a movie screen/ Then his days as a nigga came to an end/ Police found him in a pool of blood, clinging onto life/ That boy looked up and he said/
Chorus:
Tell mama/ I'm sorry/ I was wrong/ (I was wrong yeah)/ Tell mommy/ I'm sorry/ I was wrong/
Verse 2: (Anthony Hamilton)
Young girl/ Sixteen/ Running/ The same streets/ Living her dream of being Foxy Brown/ And her teacher who/ Tested her/ And an uncle who/ molested her/ Heavenly father who/ Still blessing her/ She just chose to play around/ Then/ The pain was just too much/ Then/ We are just living today and dieing tomorrow/ Said a prayer/ Then closed her eyes/ Nodded slowly/ Then said wait God before I go/ Tell mama
Chorus:
Tell mama/ I'm sorry/ I was wrong/ (I was wrong yeah!)/ Tell mommy/ I'm sorry/ I was wrong/
Breakdown:
Somethings you can change/ Somethings you can't/ Somethings will never be the same/ Some people cry/ Some people fly/ Which one will you choose in your life?/ Mama you were right all along/ Mama I was wrong/ And another young lifes gone!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Hugh Masekela (born Johannesburg, April 4, 1939) is a South African flugelhorn and cornet player. In 1961, as part of the anti-apartheid campaign, he was exiled to the United States where he was befriended by Harry Belafonte. He has played primarily in jazz ensembles, with guest appearances on albums by The Byrds and Paul Simon. In 1987, he had a hit single with "Bring Him Back Home" which became an anthem for the movement to free Nelson Mandela. After apartheid ended, Masekela returned to South Africa where he now lives.
