Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
I saw smoke risin on my horizon,
My paradise was being burnt to the ground
All I never did and should have done,
And now I've gotta do it the next time around
Sometimes it's hard to figure out whether you're damned or blessed
When with the good comes bad and with the more comes less
When everytime ya try fe clean up you just end up in a mess
Just don't go dwelling on the thought you're not as lucky as the rest
For if life is a test I wan confess that I passed it
Before my last breath when I rest in my casket
Ya might have tried ya best yesterday, but don't try no less today
Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Easy, some don't have it easy
Remember there is always somebody who's got it worse
Someone who can't quench him thirst or him hunger
In life you'll take some licks just don't forget how much dem hurt
Cause without the bitter you won't know what sweet is worth
If ya stumble, take a tumble, get up brush off de dirt
Go find ya formula and make it work
There's no limits I'm all up in it
Life is love and I've fallen in it
Come get caught up in it
Cause nothing looks better on you than a smile
Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Easy, some don't have it easy
Easy, some don't have it easy
Ya cryin for what ya don't got,
While some are dyin for what ya do yeah
Life's short and that's just the
Truth, so don't ya use that as an excuse
Ya cryin for what ya don't got,
While some are dyin for what ya do yeah
Life's short and that's just the
Truth, so don't ya use that as an excuse
Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said, son don't
Take it for granted, there so
Many ones out there who do not have it as easy
