about

Inspired by "Mama Said" by The Shirelles. I guess it's that sentiment of parental wisdom

lyrics

I hit my parents up from time to time
We talk about the stuff that’s on my mind
I think they always give me good advice
I’ve heard the same line way more than twice
(at least 300 times)

When life blows up in my face (and)
Sometimes I make mistakes (but)
Before I turn the page
I know my mama’s gonna say

What’s the lesson learned?
(What’s the lesson learned?)
What’s the lesson learned?
(What’s the lesson learned?)

When I hear the words, they’re no surprise
(I hear the words and they don't surprise me)
I try to fight the urge to roll my eyes
(Good thing I'm over the phone, hahaha)
If I never looked back
On the things that I did
They would probably hap-
pen all over again
So I smile and nod because I know she’s right

I know when life blows up in my face (blows up in my face)
I’m gonna make mistakes (big mistakes)
But whatever ends up happening (whatever)
I know my mama’s gonna say
(She’ll be reminding me)
