Kim Walker-Smith – Mama (Guitar)

Dm
I'm the one who sings their lullabies

Dm
I'm the one who wipes the tears they cry

Dm
I'm Bible-readin'

Dm
Jesus-preachin'

Dm
On the in and outside

Dm
But God help you if you ever cross the line

Bb
Back off my babies

C
You can't replace me

Dm
Don't go thinkin' you know better

Bb
I'll do the prayin'

C
I'll do the raisin'

Dm
I'll decide what's best

Dm
Because I'm Mama

Dm
Because I'm Mama

Dm
Everybody's got their cheap two cents

Dm
Stranger, teachers, even the government

Dm
I'm not to make a scene

Dm
But your crazy is my gasoline

Dm
Just try me and you'll find out what I mean

Bb
Back off my babies

C
You can't replace me

Dm
Don't go thinkin' you know better

Bb
I'll do the prayin'

C
I'll do the raisin'

Dm
I'll decide what's best

Dm
Because I'm Mama

Dm
I'm the keeper and protector

Dm
I'm the frontline, the defender

Dm
I'm the comfort and the fighter

Dm
Like a mama bear in the wild

Dm
A little pretty, pretty deadly

Dm
I ain't lookin' for a fight but I'm ready

Dm
I'm the grit and the grace

Dm
So, don't get in my way!

C
Back off my babies

C
You can't replace me

Dm
Don't go thinkin' you know better

Bb
I'll do the prayin'

C
I'll do the raisin'

C
I'll decide what's best

C
Because I'm Mama

Dm
Because I'm Mama

Dm
I'm Mama

Dm
Back off my babies

Dm
I'm Mama

Dm
Because I'm Mama
