[Verse 1]
Mama said, "Good things come free"
"Do what you can and be what you need"
We never had much, but we figured it out
Cause when you've got nothing, there's nothing to bitch about
[Chorus]
She would say, "Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"
Say, "You got money, you got something"
"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"
"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"
"Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"
Say, "You got money, you got something"
"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"
"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"
Mama knows
Yes, mama knows
[Verse 2]
Well, no shit, your life is hard
It's an easy Sunday when you know who you are (oh yeah, child)
Ain't no shortcut gonna bring you peace (no)
But your mama knows just what you need (yes)
[Chorus]
She would say, "Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"
Say, "You got money, you got something"
"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"
"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"
"Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"
Say, "You got money, but that's something"
"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"
"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"
Mama knows
Ooh, yes, mama knows, yeah
[Bridge]
Mmhmm, yeah
Oh, yes
Oh, it's so sweet
Yes, it is
I said it's, it's so sweet (yeah)
It's so sweet (oh lord, yes)
It's so sweet (yeah)
Oh, but if you don't know, now, now
You better go ask your mama
[Chorus]
She would say, "Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"
Say, "You got money, you got something"
"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"
"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"
"Oh, oh, don't hit me with your stuff"
Say, "You got money, you think that that's something"
"Oh, oh, just hit me with love"
"You ain't got love, then you ain't got nothing"
Mama knows
I said your mom, she knows (yes)
