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!

The Five Keys is an American rhythm and blues vocal group that was instrumental in shaping this genre in the 1950s. It was formed with the original name of Sentimental Four in Newport News, Virginia, U.S., in the late 1940s, and initially consisted of two sets of brothers - Rudy West (born 25 July 1932, Newport News, Virginia) and Bernie West (born 4 February 1930, Newport News), and Ripley Ingram (born 1930 - died 23 March 1995, Newport News) and Raphael Ingram. Ingram left in 1949 and Maryland Pierce (born 1933) and Dickie Smith became members in his place.
