Lyrics
Uh, huh
Expression of affirmation or acknowledgment
Hey
Greeting
It's so easy to become caught up in your own life
Highlighting the tendency to be absorbed in one's own life
Filled with all of your own problems, can't even sleep at night
Feeling burdened by personal problems, impacting sleep
Everyday it's like a new problem arrives
Every day brings new challenges
Need to ground yourself, can't afford to lose your mind
Emphasizing the need to stay grounded and maintain mental well-being
If you wanna know the secret, if you want the best advice
Suggesting a secret or valuable advice
Come and take a listen
Inviting the listener to pay attention
Fall in love with what you find
Encouraging falling in love with the discovered advice
Go and tell your mama you love her
Encouraging expressing love to one's mother
Go and tell your mama you love her (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Reiteration of expressing love to one's mother
Without her you could not love another
Stating the significance of the mother in the ability to love others
Without her you could not love another (oh-oh)
Reiterating the dependence on the mother for love
Oh, go and tell your mama you love her, yeah
Encouraging expressing love to one's mother
Everything she did in the past, you knew it already happened
Acknowledging past actions of the mother
No use to every time you see her you get to snappin'
Advising against reacting negatively to the mother's actions
She's constantly apologizin' for the things that she has done
Highlighting the mother's constant apologies
But what you must remember is those very first nine months
Emphasizing the importance of the initial nine months (pregnancy)
Let me let you in on a secret, if you want all this advice
Suggesting another secret or valuable advice
Come and take a listen, you fall in love with what you find
Inviting the listener to listen and discover valuable advice
Go and tell your peoples you love 'em
Encouraging expressing love to one's people
Go and tell your peoples you love 'em (oh)

And thank them 'cause without 'em you're nothin'
