TypeRight - Mama Said

Mama said she didn't raise no fool
From a young age i didn't always obey the rules
Made moves with my homies but I always stayed true
To the mission of the day, just listen and stay tuned

Take two we was filming a little bit of rollerblading
As we got older really the passion was never fading
Taking walks in the arboretum JP
Take me back to those days I'm feeling lately

A little reminiscent, a little inefficient
A little bit deficient compared to the days where all you had to do was wish it
And you had your composition this the throwback edition
And there ain't no competition to the

Old days when there was no hurries
There was snow days, when there was snow flurries
Grilling burgers propane smelling sweet as potpourri
Everything was okay mama saying don't worry

Mama said she didn't raise no burnout
She wasn't quite sure about the way I'd turn out
She said I had an authority problem
She and pop raised two kids and this wasn't how they taught em

Just a kid experimenting, and lots of things are temptin
I'm not bad kid just because i get detention
I got a bigger vision, execute it to precision
Gotta win you over so you 're not my strongest opposition

Let me make my own decisions, my GPA has risen
I smoke a bit of weed but no I won't end up in prison
Just give a bit of trust, between us that's a must
And I will summit the hill, while chillin up at tufts

Cause I got a dream, I'm not ready to give it up
Driven to succeed what I need is just to stay tough
Work hard and slay bars sure i'll need a little luck
For these golden years, you're damn right I'm gon' live it up

Mama said that she my biggest fan, I had the biggest plans
And I done followed through so now I am the biggest man
Looking back I owe them a lot
Couldn't stand in this spot without what I was taught

By now I know I've found a passion in rapping
Hit it on a rhythm nothing is written on accident
Imagining what I'll be doing 10 years from now?
Fuck if I know but I know I'll figure it out

For now I stay traveling letting the tape unraveling
Day to day battling the status quo and managing
To make those who love me proud through these lovely sounds
Even those who passed looking from above me down

But no my work isn't done
Really it's just begun
Won't rest long as the next day has a rising sun
I'm in it to win it I'm spending every single minute
Pursuing the dream to look back and say damn son we did it!
