Mama Lyrics - I Still Believe - Lyfe Jennings

Young man, thirteen, running the streets 

Living his dreams of being Nino Brown, 

And a grandmother, who pleaded the 5th 

A baby brother, who needed him 

His little sister, believed in him 

He needs to slow down 

Then what happened next is something we see on a movie screen 

Then his days as a nigga came to an end 

Police found him in a pool of blood, clinging onto life 

That boy looked up and he said/ 

Tell mama, I'm sorry, I was wrong (I was wrong yeah) 

Tell mommy, I'm sorry, I was wrong 

Young girl, sixteen, running 

The same streets, living her dream of being Foxy Brown 

And her teacher who, tested her 

And an uncle who, molested her 

Heavenly father still, blessing her 

She just chose to play around 

Then, the pain was just too much 

Then, we are just living today and dying tomorrow 

Said a prayer, 

Then closed her eyes 

Nodded slowly, then said wait God before I go 

Tell my mama that I'm 

Tell mama, I'm sorry, I was wrong (I was wrong yeah) 

Tell mommy, I'm sorry, I was wrong
