Por Phyre - Mama Told Me Lyrics

It seems like just yesterday, I was a little kid
Growing up in the hood. Please, don't remind me what I did
That was so long ago, how can I represent
That's what they ask me, sleep with one open eyelid
Learned trust from one and dones; this is reminiscent
A hit this hard, man, it will surely leave a dent
The man of steel, the man of will, abandon ship
I'm going overboard, just, tryna make a hit
Let me predict? premonitions in the end
Probably not, but I'ma try my best to win
Might not solve all my problems, but it's gonna give
Myself some extra time, means to ends to pretend

Mama told me, I could be Batman
Mama told me, I could be strong
Mama told me, I could be that man
Mama told me, nothing was wrong
Mama told me, I could be Batman
Mama told me, I could be strong
Mama told me, I could be that man
Mama told me, nothing was wrong

She taught me speak up, and fight when they say stop
Because everything's that becomes ripe is bound to rot
The way I feel, just keep it real, and keep it Rock
Insecure, always ill, I need a lock
This is hip hop, a lil Pop
And this is rock, like how I talk
I need a sock, cold feet, time to take off
I gotta be a pain in the butt, to be on top
But if I go, let things be known, I did a lot
Be proud of me, let it go, and sow the crop
If you'd do this, you'll reap the goal, to grow hip hop
I couldn't ask for more, revolting's all I've got

Mama told me, I could be Batman
Mama told me, I could be strong
Mama told me, I could be that man
Mama told me, nothing was wrong
Mama told me, I could be Batman
Mama told me, I could be strong
Mama told me, I could be that man
Mama told me, nothing was wrong
Mama told me, I could be Batman
Mama told me, I could be strong
Mama told me, I could be that man
Mama told me, nothing was wrong
