Mama Lyrics

[Intro: GASHI]
Oh, mama
Oh, mama

[Verse 1: GASHI]
God shine a light on something
Demons tryna shoot me down, down, down, down
I keep fighting
My treasure is in Heaven, got my soul now
Made decisions on emotions
Sabotage relations to keep on fighting
Work with what you got and hold on
We all sacrifice for better days

[Chorus: GASHI]
Oh, mama
Wish I knew then what I know now, know now
Woah, mama
Thinking 'bout you as I'm heading down this road now

[Verse 2: Sting, Sting & GASHI]
Wanted all or nothing
See my own flesh tryna bring me down, down
They always overlooked him
And followed all the kings without no crowns
They gon' make you lose your mind, then claim you lost your mind
Time is so little when the dreams big, keep on fighting
They gon' make you lose your mind, then claim you lost your mind
Your new life is costing you your old one
[Chorus: GASHI, GASHI & Sting]
Oh, mama
Wish I knew then what I know now, know now
Woah, mama
Thinking 'bout you as I'm heading down this road now
Oh, mama
Wish I knew then what I know now, know now
Woah, mama
Thinking 'bout you as I'm heading down this road now

[Bridge: GASHI]
A fork ahead of me
It's eating me inside
You help me choose what's right
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: GASHI, GASHI & Sting]
Oh, mama
Wish I knew then what I know now, know now
Woah, mama
Thinking 'bout you as I'm heading down this road now
Oh, mama
Wish I knew then what I know now, know now
Woah, mama
Thinking 'bout you as I'm heading down this road now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
