Mama’s Baby Lyrics

[Intro]
Onyame gye me, save my soul
Onyame gye me, save my soul


[Hook]
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my soul, baby, my soul, baby
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my pride, my pride

Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my soul, darling, my soul, darling
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my pride, my pride

[Verse 1]
And I've been watching over way too long, girl, too long, girl
My people wash away with grains of sand
(Father, forgive them for they know not what they do)
My adolescence weighted on my shoulders, my shoulders
My bones been crumbling over frets of man, of man
[Hook]
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my soul, baby, my soul, baby
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my pride, my pride

Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my soul, darling, my soul, darling
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my pride, my pride

[Verse 2]
Can you rock with a brother like this? (Can you rock, can you rock)
Over frets of the soul and the man who lost all and jumped off in abyss
Can you rock with a brother like this? (Can you rock, can you rock)
In a fight with a God, lose it all with a smile and his teeth in the bliss
Said can you rock with a brother like this? (Can you rock, can you rock)
With a world on his chest and his back where he still manage space for a chip
Said can you rock with a brother like this?
In the search for a love with his mouth on a knife and his head on a kiss

[Hook]
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my soul, baby, my soul, baby
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my pride, my pride
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my soul, darling, my soul, darling
Mamacita, mama's saviour
Mama's soldier, mama's baby
Mama save my pride, my pride
