Ivan Johnson - My Mama Said lyrics

[Chorus] My mama tell me all the time I'm a be something I'm still a n***a till I die, What with heat bustin They'll never take me alive I'm a survivor makin'something from nothing My mama told me I'm a be something (And I believe her) My mama told me I'm a be something I'm still a n***a till I die, What with heat bustin They'll never take me alive I'm a survivor makin'nothing from something My mama told me I'm a be something (And I believe her) [Verse 1] A fist a wall tell my knuckles bleeding Back over beefs, I'm screaming DOGG POUND GANGSTA I'm f**ed up from all the sh** I'm drinking Why I'm so deep, I remember I was a sack of semen Know I'm 31, living the life that most n***as be dreamin A n***a gotta hustle, stuck on what I believe in Never take a punch and think that we even Cuz the type of sh** I'm on, it's some get back Cuz I won't get it Long as I'm breathin I'll think that's a good enough reason I asks my mom all the time why god made it so hard? For a n***a to make a living from breaking a law I can't wait for six months without takin my job Back on my rear, they pull me over and now they take my car (Mama Said that I'd be something) And I believe her When my album hit the streets I'm strapped with four heaters And I clutch peers, my heaters don't move for nothin I'm tuckin, I'm clutchin, I'm bustin n***as who know me [Chorus] [Verse 2] I'm a survivor, I'm like the Eskimo in the North Pole My blood line can adapt to the cold You can lock me, the jail closed I close my eyes and visualize in my mind and think I was home I've been preached to all my life, I can think on my own Cuz my mind's deep into their minds, so leave it alone I'm entrapted with slurs and dread lines, runnin deep through my soul Who knows? sometimes I made peace with my foes I've been so deep into thought, that I bleed from my nose I walk the streets with the heat, blastin pebbles and stones I shed a bloody tear, for my thugs on top and bottom tier In the streets motherf**er who should I fear? My heart is beatin, I'm breathin, dealin, with viscous heathen Im off the leash, and the pizza n***a stop me from eatin Lessons are being learned, I'm wide awake, I feel like I'm dreamin Chapow motherf**er! I think we even [Chorus] [Verse 3] Keep my head above the water, let me talk to my lawyer Facing cases of perpetration with a white mask on my face like Jason Patiently waitin for this women and this women said there's no where to turn So I smoke and I drink gin For the judge that sentence me, n***a f** you Your the reason why my n***as turn to thugs too Your the reason why my race in jail, with nothin to run to Your the reason why we payin' our guns too Ugh, increase the smoke, and pull the liquor All the earth visualize what it's worth I walk the streets fly cousin, ridin' to die cousin My nine will determine if I die, run and die, gunnin Never seen d**h cousin? Your f**in n***as bluffin I park around with a nine shell in my stomach Always do to die, be something, you know I keep bustin With D-A-Z motherf**er [Chorus]
