Testo Mama's Soldier

Let me tell a story

You might find it boring

It's about understanding glory

You just want something that is mine
You lift me up and push me back down again

You just want something that is mine

You lift me up and push me back down again



I was mama's soldier

Crying on no one's shoulder

Making my papa proud again

I was mama's soldier


Lost and found at the same time

Everything's right at the wrong time

I'll tell you what's on my mind

I just want something that is mine

You lift me up and push me back down again

I just want something that is mine

You lift me up and push me back down again



I was mama's soldier

Crying on no one's shoulder

Making my papa proud again

I was mama's soldier



You struggle all your life not to come behind

Then it's too late and you try to rewind

Mind your own business, stay out of trouble

You gotta stand up tall in the struggle



I was mama's soldier

Crying on no one's shoulder

Making my papa proud again

I was mama's soldier

I was mama's soldier

Crying on no one's shoulder

Making my papa proud again

I was mama's soldier



(Mama, I'm too late this time / Papa, it's too late this time)
