Hey mama, why it's me
Say you better wait child
Said you've been a long time running
Saving a long time money
Hey mama, answer me
Baby boy you better sit down
Can't listen when the suns out
My only son, this'll be so hard to hear
C'mon mama, what do you mean
I know you've been knocked down
I know it ain't all been easy
Nothing ever good really is
Why you gotta wait so long
Why you gotta wait so long
But she said son let me reason with you
You think you carry such a weight
I know I never beat you boy
Better start acting like this here's a race
You ain't gone far enough to say
At least I tried
You ain't worked hard enough to say
Well I've done mine
You ain't run far enough to say
My legs have failed
You ain't gone far enough
You ain't worked hard enough
You ain't run far enough to say
It ain't gonna get any better
You picked a bad time
You picked a bad time to listen to me
You picked a bad time
You picked a bad time to listen to me
You picked a bad time
You picked a bad time to listen to me
You picked a bad time
You picked a bad time to listen to me
You ain't gone far enough to say
At least I tried
You ain't worked hard enough to say
Well I've done mine
You ain't run far enough to say
My legs have failed
You ain't gone far enough
You ain't worked hard enough
You ain't run far enough to say
It ain't gonna get any better
