Had me at seventeen
Got kicked out of your house
Three jobs to make ends meet
While we would sleep on your friend's couch
Raised me all by yourself
Never knew how that felt
Missed late-night karaoke
Born and raised on Lauryn Hill
Oh, all I got are these words
I've got to tell you before I leave this world that
Mama, if I die before you
Mama, if I die before you, it's not on purpose
Mama, if I go before you, it's not on purpose
And Mama, you're always perfect
You're always perfect
The way men treated you
Just know it's not your fault
I tried to swing, you shouted
"Please don't, please don't knock 'em out"
Just know it's not too late
I hope you find someone
Who makes you smile as much as
You made me when I was young
Oh, all I got are all these words
I've got to tell you before I leave this world that
Mama, if I die before you
Mama, if I die before you, it's not on purpose
Mama, if I go before you, it's not on purpose
And Mama, you're always perfect
You're always perfect
Oooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, all I got are all these words
I've got to tell you before I leave this world that
Mama, if I die before you
Mama, if I die before you, it's not on purpose
Mama, if I go before you, it's not on purpose
And Mama, you're always perfect
You're always perfect
