My mama broke her heart on her way to save me.
If I only knew, this broken heart would take us to
A better place / a higher ground, mama.
She smiled at me, she said, don't worry about it baby.
You got the best blues, so you can never lose,
They'll never let you down.
Oh mama, sweet ma, you're too good but don't you know?
It doesn't matter who you are, or where you go,
The devil always takes it all.
My ma kisses me, she says, you've always been a smart ass
There's always a taking & shooting & faking & lying & buying & fighting & crying
Don't let it ever stop you, girl
But mama, no one ever listen anymore/ to my song.
If it ain't coming fast from a reality TV blast,
The genius of the crown will crash it down.
Oh babe, I don't much about the music business.
But your song Is cutting a hole in the skies.
Now, I don't want to break your heart again, mama/
But too much of this good stuff will mess you up real tough.
