Songtext Mama told me Big Boi

Mama told me

As the world shakes unharmed
I'm in the middle of the... bomb
Close to army, bring the alarm
Big black... come to get some
I'm wisdom like a back teeth
Get the fuck on, like some bad chick
Negative energy not tolerated
You're all about the dollar,
And i'mma tolerate it
Free falling, time pitty, heart breaker
Vivid legend, raps call it art nature
Because I make major art
Like Beto or Van Gogh or Mozart so don't start
Around these parts we're playing
Supreme, and stay crystal clean
Blue jeans, Jordans, number three, that's important!

[Refrain]
Be careful how you play your cards
That's what momma told me
..don't go far
That's what momma told me
Try not to break too many hearts
That's what momma told me
I always knew I'll be a star
That's what momma told me

Momma used to say take your time
Well, I'm a pimp, I can wear that design lines
Every little step I take I bribe...
It's so profound, that when I thought those....
We gonna get low, low, down, until we get back up
Everything real, be a... messed up
You know to keep a full plate
And a full with a...
But everything is straight...
I got everything I can't need me
But I'm everything you can't see
Light be blind mice on the chase to get cheese
Blue jeans, jordans, number five, that's important!

[Refrain]
Be careful how you play your cards
That's what momma told me
..don't go far
That's what momma told me
Try not to break too many hearts
That's what momma told me
I always knew I'll be a star
That's what momma told me

Cause I travel like a rocket, I do
Mine ain't real every second for you
I swear, only edge of a lightning, yeah
Bang bang, can't stop, uh, uh
Just one more drop, uh, uh
I slip, I slide, back up the ride
I ...mountain top
I'm reaching for the highest sky

[Refrain]
Be careful how you play your cards
That's what momma told me
..don't go far
That's what momma told me
Try not to break too many hearts
That's what momma told me
I always knew I'll be a star
That's what momma told me
