METTE - MAMA'S EYES

(Ooh-whoa!)

(I am who I ams)
(Love it or leave it, baby)

While you reminisce, I've been gone
Two years and the fortnight
I'm friends with the low-lives
I'm drunk tryna get high (mmm)
Still waiting to exhale
Come out of the shadow
Five feet, barelt three quarters
In your Stilettos
Like pineapple Mentos
Your favorite confection
I'm sweet like your perfume
Strong like your mind is
Your skin dripping richness
Tend to your flowers without a mention
You won your wars
You laid down your sword
Then gave me the weapon

You say, "Keep my promises", but I don't
I should probably listen more, yeah, mother, I know
I just wanna be dancing again, I know
I'm to blame, I gotta heal these scared on my own
I should learn to listen more, yeah, mother, I know
I just wanna be dancing again, I know

Don't it feel good?
Don't it feel right?
When you come home to
Home to mama's eyes
Don't you feel good?
Full up with pride
Seeing yourself in
Self in mama's eyes

(I am who I ams)

You are every woman
Whitney and Chaka
No one can ever
Be put above ya (mmm)
I always believe in you
Open my eyes if you say it's alright
Now, I'm here at Heathrow
Sunken and see through, tryna catch my flight
Hush now, she's speaking
Preaching her sermon (mmm)
The golden rule is never to lose yourself for a person
Bebe and Cece
Play in our kitchen
Say mama, you in daddy's hoodie
Swinging your hips while you do the dishes

You say, "Keep my promises", but I don't
I should probably listen more, yeah, mother, I know
I just wanna be dancing again, I know

Don't it feel good?
Don't it feel right?
When you come home to
Home to mama's eyes
Don't you feel good?
Full up with pride
Seeing yourself in
Self in mama's eyes

(Love it or leave it, baby)
(Ooh-whoa!)
