“this for the mama, do the mama, do the mama
tired but you still that mama
step to the left, pick a toy off the floor
step to the right, close somebody’s door
wipe one tear, take a deep breath, stand
sip that coffee with your shaky hand
now rock that baby, side to side
now do the mama with your mom-pride this for the mama, do the mama, do the mama
hair in a bun but you still that mama
tap your head, ‘cause your mind on ten
roll your shoulders, let the stress fall again
point to your kids, ‘they my why, that’s right’
hug yourself like you holding you tight
now spin one time in the middle of the mess
this the mama dance, doing tired at your best do the mama, do the mama, do the mama (ay)
real-life crown in the crumbs all day”yeah, you’re right, “this for the mama, do the mama, do the mama
