Текст песни
Ooh, yeah
This one ain't for the crowd
It's for the woman who never left
The one who cried when I smiled
The one who prayed when I was quiet
Mama, I'm still here
Oh, don't play with me!
Mama prayed for me (prayed)
Cried late nights, stayed on her knees for me
Don't play with me! (God)
Stood next to me
Every time I almost lost my way, she believed in me (no)
Don't play with me!
I'm covered, see
If you see me standing strong today, that's my mama's prayers
(Don't play with me) don't play with me
(Don't play with me)
I've been broken in places I don't speak on
Smiled in rooms I was bleeding in
They saw strength, they didn't see the cost
Mama felt it before I said anything
She knew when I was tired, knew when I was lying
Knew where my fears stayed
She prayed me through the fire while I was surviving
And she saw God living in me
When the world turned cold, she stayed warm
When I lost direction, she stayed calm
When I doubted myself, she stayed strong
Told me, "Boy, God ain't done, just hold on"
They don't know the nights she cried alone
Asking God to spare her son
They don't know the weight she carried
Just to make sure I became one, yeah
Don't play with me!
Mama prayed for me (prayed)
Cried late nights, stayed on her knees for me
Don't play with me! (God)
Stood next to me
Every time I almost lost my way, she believed in me (no)
Don't play with me!
I'm covered, see
If you see me standing strong today, that's my mama's prayers
(No, don't play with me) don't play with me
(No, don't play with me)
I survived what should have buried me
Walked through storms that could have finished me
Every time death came close to me, her prayers intercepted me
I'm reckless, she moved faithful
