Mama Told Me Chino XL (Ft. Akili Nickson)

[Hook: Chino XL & Akili Nickson]
She said she should’ve done this
She should’ve done that
Pack my bags and never look back
Some things that I’ve seen I can’t un-see
I spend my whole life just trying to get free
And I’m never gonna be, without my pain and misery
But I remember what my mama told me (Mama told me)
Mama told me (Mama told me)
I remember what my mama told me

[Verse 1: Chino XL]
I scramble to my feet to regain consciousness
The floor half full of blood, I’m a pessimist
It makes sense for me to make my exodus
This scene flashing through child monic movie images
I was nine years old with spine hemorrhages
Just me and him was in the house, no witnesses
All I’m thinking is, how I’mma live through this
He unclenched his fist, my face grimaces
I don’t reminisce, I remember the stress
Feeling nervousness when he came home up the steps
Mom he beatin' me bad, first escaped my lips
She said that I was a fuck up and I deserved this shit
What could I have possibly done I was only nine
With fucking stitches in my eye she told me stop crying
I’m looking for a sign, the sun don’t ever shine
I’m an only child, they say that love is blind
