Mama
So he says he loves you, wants you to be his wifeBut he's too hooked on the crack pipe for that to be rightIt's all lies, none of it's true, though it hurtsYou know what you gotta do, cut him loose like a dirty needle
You don't know where he's beenAll I know is that I've seen him high when he says that he's cleanThere was a gray patch when he first bust on the sceneBut as the mystery unraveled, all became black and whiteKnow what I mean?
We can never be friends, he can go to hellNo more hanging 'round the house like a bad smellEither he goes or I do, it's your decision, mama, it's all on you
You're too old to be naive and I know you ain't ignorantThat's what's botherin' me, ma 'cos you're goin' on differentAnd I ain't never seen you loved up like this beforeWhy's it everybody but you who can see that you deserve more?
Mama, can't you see what he's tryin' to do to you and to me?Mama, it's so black and whiteWhile you're sittin' at home he's out smokin' crack tonightAnd I can't go for that, no, no can doI can't go for that, can't for that, can't go for that
When I first met him, thought he was coolHad a few things in common like supporting ArsenalI saw the way he made you happy like a love foolComing down when times were hard up stressful
But all that don't matter to shitWhen he starts acting like a little kidTreating you as if you was some kind of bitch
Mama, you ain't rich but stills he borrows your moneyAnd never pays you back'Cus any penny he gets, he spends on that bad habit
Fuckin' takes the piss bringin' that slut in to our houseIs the ultimate dissNow I know you threw him out for thatBut how long is it gonna be before you take him back?Mama, know you're lonely but you're the only
One who can't see that this bloke is a phoneyAnd he don't really care bout ya, mumHe just says he does 'cus he fuckin' thinks ya dumb
Mama, can't you see what he's tryin' to do to you and to me?Mama, it's so black and whiteWhile you're sittin' at home he's out smokin' crack tonightAnd I can't go for that, no, no can doI can't go for that, can't for that, can't go for that
"My mama loves a crack head"Is that what I'm supposed to tell my friends?When they ask me how I'm doing, am I supposed to pretend?Act like there's nothing's wrong when there blame there isTurn the other cheek when he's takin' the piss
Fuck that that's not how the man of the house actsI gotta defend my territory, guard my patchWhen I know he's doing doggy shit behind your backPut my foot down, stand my ground and that
This has got to stop whether the guy buns crack or notHis head ain't there he's fuckin' lost the plotDead and buried is the act phrase can't even act rightCan't even act his age that's so fuckin' lameThirty something years old, he should feel ashamed
If I was him, I'd slit my my veins at the mainsIn a lukewarm bath and sit in it till my arteries drainDo it right this time so I don't have to do it again'Cos there's nothing more pathetic than a cry for help
Either you do or you don't, wanna kill ya selfEverybody knows you got a problem so it don't matter if you admit itBut what you gotta do is be a man 'n' fuckin' deal with it
I know the truth hurts, mamaBut this shit gotta be saidHe don't love you, he never has and that's a factThe only thing he really loves in this world is crack
Mama, can't you see what he's tryin' to do to you and to me?Mama, it's so black and whiteWhile you're sittin' at home he's out smokin' crack tonightAnd I can't go for that, no, no can doI can't go for that, can't for that, can't go for that, no
I can't go for that, no, no can doI can't go for that, can't for that, can't go for that, noI can't go for that
So he says he loves you, wants you to be his wifeBut he's too hooked on the crack pipe for that to be rightIt's all lies, none of it's true, though it hurts
