You remind me of my mother's greatest fearGave her life for my protectionThrough the years, from my tearsThen you came along and tore it downWith your deception, you let me drownAnd all the tears my mother savedHit me like a wave, mm(Let's go, bitch)Oh, beware the woman scornedShe would move a mountain for meCross the driest desert for her childLike a hurricane, hеr pain would ripthe roots out from the groundOh, sing for meWhat you holding onto?Sing for mеMama's coming for youMother's comingKeep your head up, babyKeep your headI will hold you steadyAnd, oh, it hit me like a waveI have been betrayed(Sing for me, girl)Mama's comingWoah, singMama's comingSing for meBaby, I know he cut you bad (Cut me deep)You can run away, save what you had(I can't run no more)Maybe there's a world where you can let him stay (No)Boys stay boys but men can change, yeah(H'es no man of mine)Keep the sunshine on your face (No)This is real life god knows love ain't perfect(I known love ain't perfect, trust me, mother)Mother, I don't know where to startIf I stay will he break my heartMaybe there's still time to explainBut I'm too tied up in my pain nowStart to sweat, it's hard to breatheI cry for help could you get hereany faster, any faster?Sing for meOh, sing for meWhat you holding onto?Sing for meMama's coming for youMother's comingKeep your head up, babyKeep your headI will hold you steadyHold me steadyI'm so heavy, motherHold me steadyAnd, oh, it hit me like a waveI have been betrayedI need your protectionI need your protection (You have my protection)Come on, give me your protection (You have my protection)I need your protection (You have my protection)
