Momma

Momma tried to raise me right
She did everything she can
To try to make me a man

Never had a hungry night
But I was still a problem
And they didn't know
How to solve it

Momma couldn't show me the things I'd go through
So my daddy had to show me the belt
And he told me that the world is a whole lot harder
So it's better him than somebody else

I said momma tried to
Raise me right
But I came out wrong
Momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
Yeah momma tried to get
Me straight, fit in the bubble
But I could never get
Myself out of trouble
I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong)

Momma tried to raise me right
They said that boy ain't that clever
She told 'em never say never
Taught me the wrong from the right
She raised me as a winner
But still I wound up a sinner

Momma couldn't show me
The things I'd go through
So my daddy had to show me the belt
And he told me that the
World is a whole lot harder
So it's better him than somebody else

I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
Momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
Yeah momma tried to get
Me straight, fit in the bubble
But I could never get
Myself out of trouble
I said momma tried
To raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong)

I said momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong) Yeah
Momma tried to raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong)
Yeah momma tried to
Get me straight, fit in the bubble
But I could never
Get myself out of trouble
I said momma tried
To raise me right
But I came out wrong
(But I came out wrong)
