Lyrics Rick James – My Mama

Mama told me to try
She says «son, don’t you never, never lie»
Mama taught in my youth
She says «seek out the love, and you’ll find the truth»

Mama, stop by me to
?
Mama, with you I know I can win
Mama, I’m thanking you from deep within, yeah

My mama is a true-blue friend of mine
Ooh-oh
My mama is a true-blue friend of mine
Alright

My mama
My mama

Mama told me to play
She says «son, you’ll be blessed each and every day»
Mama said if I do
All the best things in life gonna come to you
Sho-nuff

Mama said «don’t sit back and wonder why»
Mama said I could make it, if I try
Mama, just thank you, that you get me high

My mama is a true-blue friend of mine
Ooh-oh
My mama is a true-blue friend of mine
Alright

My mama
My mama
Oh yeah, oh yeah, my mama

Oh yeah, do I love my mama, yes I do
Oh yeah, love my mama!
Oh yeah, girl love my mama, yes I do
Oh yeah, mama

My funky-funky-funky-mama
Oh-oh-ooh-oh mama
