These are the things that I've been living for
Red things, they cannot conquer my brain
My soul is intact, mama, hear what I'm saying
Don't cry no more, I feel your pain
Every day, mama, I keep on praying
You know you'll never lose me to fame
I'm sorry for the times I complained
Mama, let me tell you clear and plain
Yo, the truth is, mama, you never let us down
