(KeKe)[Karen]

phone rings



[hello?]

(hey mama)

[yeah]

(can we kick it?)

[can we kick it?]

(i'm sorry, can i talk to you for a minute)

[that's more like it]

(well here's my story)



verse 1

(becoming a lady)[yeah] 

there are so many things to learn[uh huh] 

about life and things that we're made of[now i see where this is all going] 

don't wanna be mistaken 

for not being a christian girl[uh huh] 

and my fear is being made fun of)

[baby let me tell you how to cope](tell me) 

cuz ya mama went through the same thing(i bet you did) 

be not justified by what your friends might think]



chorus

(mama i do my best 

to obey the rules that you and daddy set 

to keep me from doin' somethin' that i might regret 

even though it's hard mama don't change)

[being a mama ain't a easy task 

it's more than examples on how to cook and dress 

discipline and values i know you need to get 

even though your hard headed don't change]



verse2

(i know that i am special)[yes you are] 

because i am a child [mama's baby]of the king 

but in the school they be thinking that i am arrogant[what now hold] 

i don't understand it[well] 

you told me to be proud of myself[yes i did] 

why does it seem like i'm doing all the wrong things)

[ let me tell you how to be 

when your attacked by the hands of the enemy 

hold you head up high 

and in him you must believe]



chrous



verse3

(mama i know it looks like i'm not listenin' 

but i hear you and daddy too 

thank you for showing me what to do)

[we know you try we know it ain't easy to live this life sometime]

(but as your by my side)

([we can make it together])



j-moss

i know what it means when you see them things on the T.V screens make a sista wanna ([scream]) 

you wanna make it quick everytime you see 23's or 24's thick on the floor 

but mama knows best 

daddy told you whenever you come come correct 

take your time baby and be a young lady 

you whole of your life a head of you don't change
