Mama's Always On Stage - Arrested Development

作曲：Speech/Buddy Guy/Junior Wells

Hey brand new mama I understand

It's hard as hell being a young mother and

You need support your conscious told you not to abort

So to your child you're a hero of some sort

But hey the worst is over

You're ready to do this

I got faith and your baby renewed this

Faith that everything will be fine

Now an adult no more youth time

(Anytime you need help sister)

We'll be there just give us a ring

We will help you raise that king

Word to the mother cause it's a black thing

I respect you in a strong way

Super late nights cause your baby slept all day

But mama don't sleep your life's a turning page

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Hey let me guess you're bored

Wanna get loose attack the dance floor

Cool I'll hold her you have a good time

I'll keep your baby awake so baby sleeps after nine

This is reality we need to turn our minds

Brothers talking revolution but leave their babies behind

Well sister he's a sucker just leave'em be

The revolution is now up to brothers like me

To step in cause your man stepped out

(The goal) To raise the children no doubt

So let's go to it and possibly

Bring a generation of nat's in the future see

I respect you in a strong way

Super late nights cause your baby slept all day

But mama don't sleep your life's a turning page

Mama's always on stage

Keep up your strength now cause we must grow somehow

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Can't be a revolution without women

Can't be a revolution without children

I improved throughout my life

All of this just to soothe a wife

Brothers wear your black clothes

Talk your five talk

Words of wisdom should be ways of wisdom

That's exactly how you must walk

Life's too short your mission's too dire

Nurture another mind before yours expires

Pass it on push it along

Like the brother said it in that one song

We respect you all the way

Late late nights cause your baby slept all day

But mama's got to stay strong carry it on

Hey mama's on stage

On stage mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage

Mama's always on stage hey

Oh

Mama's always on
