Listen to Your Mama There were days when I thought I could do no wrong I dug holes, built jumps in my neighbor's yard Threw rocks next door at the vacant barn Those old windows They were worth a lot There's certain times I'm like, "Heyo, heyo" But you sit me down like, "No way, no no" You say, "Keep it simple today-oh, ayo" I've come to learn that's the way-oh, way-oh So listen to your mama Even if you're always right She'll help you with your problems And show you everything's alright So we packed up the car, hit a one-way road Straight up to the woods and the wild unknown There were sings on my face the objection showed I didn't wanna know It was best to go There's certain times I'm like, "Heyo, heyo" But you sit me down like, "No way, no no" You say, "Keep it simple today-oh, ayo" I've come to learn that's the way-oh, way-oh So listen to your mama Even if you're always right She'll help you with your problems And show you everything's alright
