Mama

Sara Haze

So here we go again – same situation
And I can’t drown in your drama no more
Let me make it clear – just read my lips
This ain’t what I’m looking for 
So take it away – I don’t wanna see the damage
Oh no not today – I got better things to do
I’ll sleep in peace – cuz my conscience is clear
While you’re dirty past catches up with you 
So what did you think – I was too stupid to notice?
It’s over now – it don’t matter no more
On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
I’ll keep my dignity
Cuz THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME
THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME 
I was raised to be strong – created in the image
Of a woman who knows how to stand on her own
Baby I deserve better than this
If you dim my flame I’d rather be alone 
I won’t bow my head - or give into your religion
I will burn bright - cuz I’m made that way
If I let you get away - with treating me less than a 
lady
What would my mama say? 
So what did you think – I was too stupid to notice?
It’s over now – it don’t matter no more
On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
I’ll keep my dignity
Cuz that’s THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME 
I was taught to love myself
Accept nothing else
And you won’t get the best of me
No you won’t get the best of me 
So what did you think – I was too stupid to notice?
It’s over now – it don’t matter no more
On your way out you can take your dirty laundry
I’ll keep my dignity
Cuz that’s THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE
THAT’S THE WAY MY MAMA MADE ME
