verse 1
Hey Mama, It?s me
Said you better wait child, said you?ve been a long time runnin
Hey Mama, Answer me
Baby Boy you better sit down, Can?t listen when the sun?s out
My only son this will be so hard to hear
Instrumental Break
verse 2
C?mon Mama, what do you mean
I know you been knocked down, I know it ain?t all been easy
Nothin ever good really is
Why you gotta wait so long, Why you gotta wait so long
Bridge
She said son let me reason with you, You think you carry such a wait
I know I never beat you, boy, Better start acting like this here is a race
Instrumental Break
Chorus
You aint gone far enough to say, at least I tried
You ain?t worked hard enough to say, Well I?ve done mine
You ain?t run far enough to say, My legs have failed
You ain?t gone far enough, You ain?t worked hard enough
You ain?t run far enough to say, It ain?t gonna get any better
Bridge 2
You picked a bad time, You picked a bad time to listen to me
You picked a bad time, You picked a bad time to listen to me Chorus
You picked a bad time, You picked a bad time to listen to me
You picked a bad time, You picked a bad time to listen to me
Chorus
You aint gone far enough to say, at least I tried
You ain?t worked hard enough to say, Well I?ve done mine
You ain?t run far enough to say, My legs have failed
You ain?t gone far enough, You ain?t worked hard enough
You ain?t run far enough to say, It ain?t gonna get any better
