mama said - o'hene savant lyrics

beginning chorus:
(nina simone recording):
if i had only listened to what my mama said
if i had only listened to what my mama said
i’d be at home today
if i had only listened to what my mama said
if i had only listened to what my mama said
if i had only listened to what my mama said
[?]

verse 1:
my mama would say stay from the brothers that hang on the street
claiming to see some of the dangers that waited for me
but i was a teen, all of my friends was havin’ a ball
they stand on the wall laughing at cats who would p-ss in they cars
while sipping the brew some of the others would puff on the blunt
but i wasn’t one for all the drinking and smoking and such
i’m tired of mom, how she gon’ tell me to stay in the crib
man she must think i’m a kid, next she gon’ take out a bib
besides, what could go wrong, none of my homies is dumb
we out here only for fun, ain’t like i’m holding a gun
i ain’t selling drugs, i ain’t the one that be pushing the weight
yeah i know some of us do but ain’t like it’s pushed in my face
anthony hustles a bit but he got a couple of kids
he ain’t just selling to sell it, my man got to struggle with his
man these are my friends and you don’t know them the way that i do
why you so worried with me? i ain’t complaining ‘bout you but man

middle chorus:
nina: if i had only listened to what my mama said
o’hene: if i just listened to what my mama said
nina: if i had only listened to what my mama said
o’hene: if i just listened to what my mama said
nina: if i had only listened to what my mama said
o’hene: if i just listened to what my mama said
nina: i’d be at home today
o’hene: man i would be home, man i would be home

nina: if i had only listened to what my mama said
o’hene: if i just listened to what my mama said
nina: if i had only listened to what my mama said
o’hene: if i just listened to what my mama said
nina: if i had only listened to what my mama said
o’hene: if i just listened to what my mama said

o’hene (plays during second part of middle chorus):
mama said clean your room, mama said go to school
mama said while at school never to act a fool
mama said do your work, mama said god is first
mama said love the lord[?] never to fake[?] in church
mama said watch your back, don’t be involved in cr-p
always avoid the drugs, i mean except for [?]
mama was always right, now what she spoke was clear
man, if i had listened to what my mama said

verse 2:
one day we was all on the wall like, like 11 or 12
wait, mama was sleep, it was a definite 12
we was just laughing and stuff, anthony cracking us up
’til one of his customers came and they stepped to the back of the truck
i was like ant is a nut, dude just be baggin’ on us
he should be a comedian instead of in back of that truck
that’s when i heard someone cuss, one of my homies said hush
one of the others still talking until i was like, ‘man shut up’
that’s when i heard someone say, ‘this is for my homie trae’
(-two gunshot blasts-)
now all my homies is running away
i was like, ‘y’all is chumps, ain’t none of y’all got a gun
anthony probably got shot and all y’all gon’ do is just run’
that was when anthony yelled, ‘yo man you need to get help’
i was so worried ‘bout him i completely forgot of myself
that’s when i turned to my left, pistol pointed at my head
thought to myself, if i had listened to what mama said
(-single gunshot blast-)
