(Kiki) Hey, Ma
(Karen) yeah
(Kiki) Can we kick it?
(Karen) Can we kick it?!
(Kiki) I'm sorry, Can I talk to you for a minute
(Karen) That's more like it
(Kiki) Ok, here's my story
(Karen) uh, huh
Verse1
In becoming a lady(yeah), there are so many things to learn(uh, huh)
About life and things that we're made of( I can see where this is all going)
Don't wanna be mistaking(uh, huh) for not being a christian girl(well)
And my fear is being made fun of
(Karen): Baby let me tell you how to cope( tell me), cause your mam went through the some thing( I bet you did), Be not justified, by what your friends may think.
CHORUS:
(Kiki) Mama I do my best, to obey the rules that you and daddy set
Kept me from doing something that I might regret, even though it's hard mama, don't change.
(Karen) Being your mama ain't a easy task
It's more than examples on how to cook and dress, the discipline and values I know you need to get, even though you're hard headed, don't change.
Verse2
I know that I am special(yeah you are) because I am the child of the king( mommy's baby)
But at the school they be thinking that I'm arrogant(what?!)ooooh
I don't understand it(well), you told me to be proud of myself(yes, I did) why does it feel like I'm doing the wrong things
(Karen): Let me tell you how to be, when you're attacked by the hands of the enemy, hold your head up high and in him you must believe.
CHORUS
Bridge
(Kiki) Mama, I know, it looks like. I'm not, listening, but I hear you, and daddy too, Thank you, for showing me what to do.
(Karen) We know, you try, we know it ain't easy to live this life sometimes
(Kiki) But as long as you're by my side
(Both) We will do it together
Rap( J Moss)
I know it means, when you see them things on the t.v. screen, make a sista wanna scream
You wanna make it quick, everytime you see 23/24 thick on the flo', but mama knows best, daddy told you whenever you come, come correct
But take your time baby and be a young lady, you got your whole life ahead of you, DON'T CHANGE.
Kiki and Karen
Can we talk(yeah), anytime(yeah), can I tell you(yeah) what's on my mine(spit it out), you're my friend(friend), to the end(end), can I call(call) when I fall(fall), when you say(say) the right things(things) and explain(explain) what you mean(I will) when you show me( watch me)how to get through(yes I will) things I've seen
oh, ooh, oh
(Karen) yeah
