Don't let this happen to you
Momma always told me son, you better tell the truth
So that's what I'mma do, that's what I'mma do, momma
Momma always told me son, you never have to lie
So I'm, gonna finally give this a try
Got caught again
Splitting at the seams like a cardigan
Bring the coffin in
Make an offering
Well, you can have my soul
'Cause I got heart
You can ask my friends
Tank's on E, she's texting dudes
Take another hit, zanax and ludes
Take another pic, go take some nudes
Post it up, like Shaq used to
And I'll let you know when ya gotta go
I'll let you know when I got a show
Trees fall down and seeds get sowed
Leave me alone, so I can grow
It ain't science, if ya ain't got proof
It ain't faith, if ya ain't got clues
Ain't my place to be telling you
Go change the channel, go watch the news
Momma always told me son, you better tell the truth
So that's what I'mma do, that's what I'mma do, momma
Momma always told me son, you never have to lie
So I'm, gonna finally give this a try
Here I go
There I go
Where I go
I don't know
Gonna finally
Give this a try
Gonna finally
Give this a try
Momma always told me
Momma always told me
Momma always told me
Momma always told me
It ain't love if, you've got nothing to lose, aw, aw, aw
It ain't love if, you've got nothing to lose, to lose, aw
Don't know why just occurred to me
Told me since she gave birth to me
Heard these words since the nursery
I made her cry
A hundred thousand times
Don't know why like to curse and scream
Always sick in emergency
Lay it thick with that urgency
I bet I've lied
A hundred thousand times
But I'm done with this
I'm done with that
It's overdue
I'm over you
No more rendezvous
No more concert tix
No more Denver trips
I think I'm on to you
Maybe one day, you'll find that dude
Maybe someday, you'll get tattooed
Maybe Sunday, you'll wake up new
Go change the channel, go watch "The View"
Momma always told me son, you better tell the truth
So that's what I'mma do, that's what I'mma do, momma
Momma always told me son, you never have to lie
So I'm, gonna finally give this a try
Here I go
There I go
Where I go
I don't know
I'm gonna finally
Give this a try
Here I go
There I go
Where I go
I don't know
I'm gonna finally
Give this a try
And you'll know just what to say
You'll know just what to feel
You'll know just what is real
Ooooohhh, ooh, ooh, ooh
