Hey Mama Lyrics - Kanye West

(Hey Mama), I wanna scream so loud for you, cause I'm so proud of you 

Let me tell you what I'm about to do, (Hey Mama) 

I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin back to school 

I appreciate what you allowed for me 

I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama) 

I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine 

This little light of mine and I'm finna let it shine 

I'm finna take yall back to them better times 

I'm finna talk about my mama if yall don't mind 

I was three years old, when you and I moved to the Chi 

Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold 

You fixed me up something that was good for my soul 

Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl? 

You work late nights just to keep on the lights 

Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike 

And you would give anything in this world 

Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn't give me a curl 

And you never put no man over me 

And I love you for that mommy can't you see? 

Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes 

Cuz a nigga cheatin, telling you lies, then I started to cry 

As we knelt on the kitchen floor 

I said mommy I'mma love you till you don't hurt no more 

And when I'm older, you ain't gotta work no more 

And I'mma get you that mansion that we couldn't afford 

See you're, unbreakable, unmistakable 

Highly capable, lady that's makin loot 

A livin legend too, just look at what heaven do 

Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)

(Hey Mama), I wanna scream so loud for you, cause I'm so proud of you 

Let me tell you what I'm about to do, (Hey Mama) 

I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin back to school 

I appreciate what you allowed for me 

I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama) 

Forrest Gump mama said, "Life is like a box of chocolates" 

My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate 

Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with 

But still supported me when I did the opposite 

Now I feel like it's things I gotta get 

Things I gotta do, just to prove to you 

You was getting through, can the choir please 

Give me a verse of "You Are So Beautiful To Me" 

Can't you see, you're like a book of poetry 

Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, turn one page and there's my mommy 

Come on mommy just dance wit me, let the whole world see your dancing feet 

Now when I say Hey, yall say Mama, now everybody answer me (Hey Mama)

I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin back to school 

I appreciate what you allowed for me 

I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama) 

I guess it also depends though, if my ends low 

Second they get up you gon get that Benzo 

Tint the windows, ride around the city and let ya friends know (Hey Mama) 

Tell your job you gotta fake em out 

Since you brought me in this world, let me take you out 

To a restaurant, upper echelon 

I'mma get you a Jag, whatever else you want 

Just tell me what kind of S-Type Donda West like? 

Tell me the perfect color so I make it just right 

It don't gotta be Mother's Day, or your birthday 

For me to just call and say: (Hey Mama) 

I wanna scream so loud for you, cause I'm so proud of you 

Let me tell you what I'm about to do, (Hey Mama) 

You know i love you so 

I never let you go 

Wrote this song just so you know 

Nowhere you go our love is true 

Mama mama mama mama mama... 

Mama mama mama mama mama...
