Omen – Mama Told Me

[Omen - Verse 1:]
Tryna follow my premonition as I’m on this million dollar mission
Mama told me we was special, appreciate God we listened
My sourroundings never let me be a pretender
Similar seductiveness with them bone-head boys yet we was different
The hoop forgetful usually child ? hyde park ?
Pimp slayers, squad wars, vital in a waste town
Who can we describe to?
Feeling like a Golden child, Chi city culture
Full of Pain, full of essence sinkers
Dead bodies in a rivers yet their souls couple up
A immature black male vital with impractical dreams
But luckily I’ve seen some unrealist things
A child from a city took a good route
Always fit in and always stood out, complex
Layered, rather uncover we than contend it
Though we know my mass is always understated
Mama operative 12 hours days on her feet
Coming home cooking dinner, done her son wanna weep
My step father operative while I’m zoning a beast
Meanwhile my biological was roaming a streets
Tryna be an entertainer, yet my heart hold adore no anger
He yelled, yeah, tryna be a singer
I theory this only a life we was done for

[Hook]

Mama told me we was special

Gotta adore her for that (yeah)

Mama told me we was special

My mom coulda been a film star
Ya know like Judy Garland

Cause my pleasing mom churned with my low-pitched bond
Deep as a wake line, dawg, we get it from my mama
I used to be broke removing picked adult in that Honda
Thought my niggas competence play me if they found out that my mom was a white lady
So like gravy had to cover that
Plus my comparison hermit black yet he demeanour white
In an all black school, design what that demeanour like
No consternation he was under-acheiving not believin’ in himself
Coming home only be gripping to himself
Looking behind by a silence, he was screaming out for help
Maybe this hymn can find a difference to get a demons out himself
So yeah, I’m exercising
Right now my record climbing, I’m arrange of a step master

Niggas got there faster, we took a prolonged route, we never been a frightened rapper
Boy this aint fear factor, they tell me can we hear a ?

Tell me, whats a selling devise for realness
What’s a demographic aim assembly for brilliance
Whats a initial week numbers for my inspiration
Who can AR this passion and this dedication
Name: Omen. This aint a verse, this a revelation
We need some some-more Sanaa Lathan’s in a population
I’m meetin’ women we would never date
The kind that contend they wish a matrimony yet they unequivocally wish a marriage day
I’m saying groupies tryna act like they don’t notice me
But a papers on a wall call it hoe-itry
My calls yet thats not what my concentration be
Music’s perpetually my lady distinct Jodeci
See when a leaders vocalization we should simply follow suit
I stay in a section like it’s ?, let me uncover we how to shoot
You know aim for a gold, these are only a chronicles
There job me a honorable, yet we am not no muslim
I’m feeling bro like ?, wily like a good sin
I’m somethin you’ve mistooken, mistake them for fakeness
Haters don’t know what we facing
Oh goodness, oh gracious
They looking during greatness
