Momma

Momma tried to raise me right
She did everything she can
To try to make me a man
Never had a hungry night
But I was still a problem
And they didn’t know how to solve it
Momma couldn’t show me the things I’d go through
So my daddy had to show me the belt
And he told me that the world is a whole lot harder
So it’s better him than somebody else
I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
Momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
Yeah momma tried to keep me safe in a bubble
But I could never keep myself out of trouble
I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong)
Momma tried to raise me right
They said that boy ain’t that clever
She told 'em never say never
Taught me the wrong from the right
She raised me as a winner
But still I wound up a sinner
Momma couldn’t show me things I’d go through
So my daddy had to show me the belt
And he told me the world is a whole lot harder
So it’s better him than somebody else
I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
Momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
Yeah momma tried to keep me safe in a bubble
But I could never keep myself out of trouble
I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong)
I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong) Yeah
Momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong)
Yeah momma tried to keep me safe in a bubble
But I could never keep myself out of trouble
I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong)
