Lyrics
Momma tried to raise me right but I came out wrong
Mom tried to raise me right but I didn't turn out as expected
Momma tried to raise me right but I came out wrong
Repetition for emphasis on the struggle with upbringing
Oh, momma tried to keep me safe in a bubble
Mom attempted to protect me in a sheltered environment
But I can't seem to keep myself outta trouble
I find it challenging to avoid getting into trouble
Momma tried to raise me right but I came out wrong
Reiteration of the difficulty in adhering to a righteous path
Listen to your momma, yeah
An urging to heed maternal advice
Listen to your momma, yeah
Repetition emphasizing the importance of listening to one's mother
Listen to your momma
A direct command to pay attention to maternal guidance
Listen to your momma, yeah
Encouragement to follow maternal wisdom
Listen to your momma, yeah
Reiteration of the call to listen to one's mother
Listen to your momma
Emphasizing the importance of heeding maternal advice
Listen to your momma
Repetition for emphasis on the significance of listening
Listen to your momma, yo
A directive to listen to maternal guidance
Momma (Ooh)
Expression of emotion, possibly indicating a realization or reflection
Momma
Repetition of the term "Momma" for emotional emphasis
Momma tried to raise me right but I came out wrong (Ooh)
Recalling the struggle to conform to expected behavior
Momma tried to raise me right but I came out wrong (Ooh)
Restating the challenge in aligning with societal norms
Spending time with chasing woman and dollars
Engaging in pursuits of pleasure and wealth, mirroring parental behavior
I guess I turned out just like my father
Admitting similarities with one's father in life choices
Momma tried to raise me right but I came out wrong
Reiteration of the difficulty in adhering to a righteous path
Listen to your momma, yeah
A repetition of the command to heed maternal advice
Listen to your momma, yeah
Reiteration of the importance of listening to one's mother
Listen to your momma
Direct command to listen to maternal guidance
Listen to your momma
Emphasizing the significance of heeding maternal advice
Listen to your momma, yo
Directive to listen to maternal wisdom
Listen to your momma, yo
Repetition of the directive to listen to one's mother
