On My Mama Lyrics

[Verse 1: Victoria Monét]
When they say, "She get it from her mama"
I'ma say, "You fuckin' right"
Body rude, it's unpolite
Done bein' the humble type

Tell me, is you down?
'Cause I'm tryna go up tonight
Hoes and hoochies left and right

[Pre-Chorus: Victoria Monét]
I just wanna live in a fantasy
I think we deserve it, right?
Top all the memories
I've ever made in my life
Permanent ecstasy (Oh)
Ladies is pimps tonight
Livin' inside a dream (Oh)
Let's lay where the lovers lie

[Chorus: Victoria Monét]
I put that on my own mama, on my hood
I look fly, I look good
You can't touch my bag, wish you could
I look fly, I look too good
Put that on my own mama, on my hood
I look fly, I look good
You can't touch my bag, wish you could
I look fly, I look too good

  • 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 [?]
