Mama said she'd be proud of me
No matter what I chose to be
As long as I stayed free and remembered
What makes me, me
Mama said she'd be proud of me
No matter what I chose to be
As long as I stayed free and remembered
What makes me happy
Growing up without a father
Only having a mother to look after
Till she had my little brother
Was the way it was when I was a young one
I was always getting wrapped up in all the drama
Popped some pills should have fell into a coma
People wondering how I deal with this trauma
I already told you
Mama said she'd be proud of me
No matter what I chose to be
As long as I stayed free and remembered
What makes me, me
Mama said she'd be proud of me
No matter what I chose to be
As long as I stayed free and remembered
What makes me happy
I've been feeling so helpless moving on
Just put all my pain in these songs
Trying to keep a smile on my face
Might make me fake
But in this world, I'm starting to feel so misplaced
Long nights in my room alone
Waiting for someone to call my phone
Just to check in and see what's going on
See if anything is wrong
Life is one big sad song
Got me fucked up thinking that I wanted you back
Now I see your other side now I'm saying fuck that
Tryna pull me in and make me think that we got a chance
But I'm seeing through it, I'm not falling into your trance
Maybe I'll see you later on in life
But only if the price to pay is right
I was told to never lie and its okay to cry
But all of my tears have already dried
Mama said she'd be proud of me
No matter what I chose to be
As long as I stayed free and remembered
What makes me, me
Mama said she'd be proud of me
No matter what I chose to be
As long as I stayed free and remembered
What makes me happy
Mama said she'd be proud of me
No matter what I choose to be
Gotta stay free and be me
