  • Ugh, come on
    Feel me, yes

    Shame on us, on your sons and your daughters
    Thieve all your gold and we poisoned all your waters
    Every piece of our soul is for sale
    Now they bought us
    Think we know it all
    Then look where it got us

    Oh, mama, mama
    Oh, mama, mama
    You're crying to the wind

    Trying to play God
    We been fucking with genetics
    All that you have given and we only disrespected
    The rate that we're going, premature Armageddon
    That's what gonna happen if we let it

    Oh, mama, mama
    Oh, mama, mama
    You're crying to the wind

    Is there any saving us?
    We've become so dangerous
    Is there any change in us?
    Even for the sake of love
    How you gonna kill your mama?
    When only mama is gonna love you to the grave

    Killing our selves
    Falling down with the sickness
    Money is the king
    It's a dirty bloody business
    There will be no trial
    But the child will always witness
    If we're in love with hell
    Why the hell would heaven visit

    Oh, mama, mama
    Oh, mama, mama
    You're crying to the wind

    When mama gets the belt, you gon' we wish we didn't do it
    Had your chance for redemption
    But you fucking blew it
    Now the weather is changing it and the hurricane is moving
    Right in your direction
    What direction are you choosing?

    Oh, mama, mama
    Oh, mama, mama
    Forgive us for your pain

    Is there any saving us?
    We've become so dangerous
    Is there any change in us?
    Even for the sake of love
    How you gonna kill your mama?
    When only mama is gonna love you to the grave
    To the grave

    How you gonna kill your mama?
    How you gonna kill your mama? Writer/s: Adele Emily Sandé, Alicia Augello Cook
