The temperature is short of crazy
A wave of heat rolling through
You should know better than to think it
To think he's no better than you
If you see a line in the sand
Find yourself another place to stand
Keep it cool
There's a reason to the rule
Take a deeper look at what you don't understand
Find another piece of the truth
What would your mama say?
What would your mama do?
What would your mama think
If your mama could hear you?
You're feeling done wrong by the dollar
History is bringing you down
Anger makes you run your mouth off
'Cause your conscience ain't around
You keep trying to make it right
Doing something you know is wrong
You're pointing the blame
At a guy who feels the same
Lay down your burning torches and the light will shine through
Got to free up your point of view
What would your mama say?
What would your mama do?
What would your mama think
If your mama could hear you?
Lay down your burning torches and the light will shine through
Got to free up your point of view
Respecting the old but the new is today
Mama never let a soul get turned away
What would your mama say?
What would your mama do?
What would your mama think
If your mama could hear you?
