Empire Cast - Mama (Stripped Down Version) lyrics

Listen mama, so many words to describe you Strong would be an understatement, warrior would Suit you so much better cause you've been fighting She was just turning 16, daddy left her out in the cold street He wasn't having it, he found all the sins underneath her mattress Then suddenly her daddy up and died but still she sees her father there in Lucious eyes Mama, Oh Mama, for everything you've been through There's nothing that I won't do for you Mama, Oh Mama, see you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you Mama I Love you, Mama Mama Mama I do love you Mama I Love You, Mama Mama In love with the thought of becoming queen She never told, she did seventeen She gave it all so unselfishly and she did it all just For loyalty, that's my Mama I never knew someone to sacrifice, everything for love Even gave up their whole lives Oh Mama, for everything you've been through nothing That I won't do for you Oh Mama, see you deserve the best of what this world Can offer Your the reason for my being here. Mama I'm so grateful Yes I am, I'm gone be the one to guide your heart Although Luscious raised us, you still made us from the sun Mama, Oh Mama, for everything you've been through There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you Oh Mama, see you deserve the best of what this world can offer to you
