Wale Lyrics for Song: Mama Told Me
 Lyrics for Album: Attention Deficit [2009]
 
 
 
 31568>(Chorus) x2
 
 Mama told me there'd be days like this
 
 But I ain't never ever think there'd be a day like this (Naw!)
 
 Not now not ever,
 
 and now until forever you will never need another (Nigga!)
 
 
 
 Look...
 
 Sorry hiphop, it took me so long to get on
 
 but so long that I'm on it, it's on!
 
 I'm rappin' for the scholars and the hustla's, meanwhile
 
 Showin' mama I ain't dropped out for nothin'!
 
 I swear these dolla's gon' add up
 
 And I ain't shallow, material things suppress bad luck
 
 That's why I shine like I does, it's pain in my eyes
 
 but these east saints blind you to look
 
 Binded between, carryin' the flag for an area that drag,
 
 whoever tried to gravitate
 
 G told me it's a city full of crimes,
 
 I'm feelin' like a platter at Philip's when I rap
 
 As much as I wanted to be minisculed the fact is,
 
 they'd only be happy with a minstrel actor
 
 Sorry Mr. Charlie won't chap dance,
 
 and fuck the radio for tellin' me to snap jam
 
 I'm just expectin' the spectator's respect here
 
 My net is from jet setters to cab fares
 
 Hip-hop's unbalances got out of hand
 
 Ain't have to see-saw, I'm already scared
 
 I been called the ???
 
 And I DC'd this whole fuckin' genre
 
 And I ain't in it for them O's or them comma's
 
 But more or less the hope for dope niggas to prosper
 
 Yessir...
 
 
 
 (Chorus)
 
 
 
 The future is now,
 
 I lead on record's dedicaton for makin' better music is now
 
 Dope niggas locked out 4 year rap drought
 
 It's rainin' now somehow the fugitive's out
 
 I would invest in a poncho,
 
 'cause I ain't finna punch out like Glass Joe (Naw!)
 
 Ima go until my arm's sore, fuck it! I go until my 40 millionth encore
 
 Hip-hop's dead yeah that's what Nas said to me
 
 I guess that's hip-hop heads on salary
 
 We've had the tables, on them record labels
 
 Who's next to release? We guillotine them
 
 Niggas braggin' but everybody stagnant everybody broke
 
 except the nigga on the track (Shit!)
 
 And mama why you throw away my drums?
 
 A hundred for a deal they made a hundred on the song
 
 Nigga I'm a hundred miles far, I'm feelin' Chris Childs
 
 You lookin' like Kobe Bryant ya'll
 
 It's lonely at the top so I waited, but ain't nobody take it
 
 Now I'm playin' solitaire patient
 
 Crucifix pieces, necklace with Jesus
 
 See me as blasphemous for I don't need them
 
 God give me strength, Allah give me patience
 
 I am only a man and I don't know what to think
 
 
 
 (Chorus)
