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)

Reiteration of expressing love to one's people

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

Thanking others for their importance in one's life

And thank 'em 'cause without 'em you're nothin' (oh-oh)

Reiterating the significance of others in one's life


Go and tell your mama you love her

Encouraging expressing love to one's mother

Go and tell your daddy you love him (hey)

Encouraging expressing love to one's father

Now go and tell your brother you love 'em

Encouraging expressing love to one's brother

Now go and tell your sister you love 'em (hey)

Encouraging expressing love to one's sister

Now go and tell your cousins you love 'em

Encouraging expressing love to one's cousins

Now go and tell your homies you love 'em (hey)

Encouraging expressing love to one's friends (homies)

Now go and tell your baby you love 'em

Encouraging expressing love to one's baby

You tell 'em, you say, "Baby, I love you" (hey)

Encouraging directly expressing love to one's significant other
