(Hey Mama) I wanna scream so loud for you, 'cause I'm so proud of you
Let me tell you what I'm about to do (Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin' back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
(Hey Mama) I wanna scream so loud for you, 'cause I'm so proud of you
Let me tell you what I'm about to do (Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin' back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me (Hey Mama)
[Verse 1]
I wanna tell the whole world about a friend of mine
This little light of mine and I'm finna let it shine
I'm finna take y'all back to them better times
I'm finna talk about my mama if y'all don't mind
I was three years old when you and I moved to the Chi
Late December, harsh winter gave me a cold
You fixed me up something that was good for my soul
Famous homemade chicken soup, can I have another bowl?
You work late nights just to keep on the lights
Mommy got me training wheels so I could keep on my bike
And you would give anything in this world
Michael Jackson leather and a glove, but didn't give me a curl
And you never put no man over me
And I love you for that, mommy, can't you see?
Seven years old, caught you with tears in your eyes
Cause a nigga cheatin', telling you lies, then I started to cry
As we knelt on the kitchen floor
I said mommy I'ma love you 'til you don't hurt no more
And when I'm older, you ain't gotta work no more
And I'ma get you that mansion that we couldn't afford
See you're unbreakable, unmistakable
Highly capable, lady that's makin' loot
A livin' legend too, just look at what heaven do
Send us an angel, and I thank you (Hey Mama)
[Chorus]
(Hey Mama)
I wanna scream so loud for you, 'cause I'm so proud of you
Let me tell you what I'm about to do
(Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin' back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me
(Hey Mama)
[Verse 2]
Forrest Gump mama said, "Life is like a box of chocolates"
My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate
Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with
But still supported me when I did the opposite
Now I feel like it's things I gotta get
Things I gotta do, just to prove to you
You was getting through, can the choir, please
Give me a verse of "You Are So Beautiful To Me"
Can't you see, you're like a book of poetry
Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, turn one page and there's my mommy
Come on mommy just dance wit' me, let the whole world see your dancing feet
Now when I say Hey, y'all say, Mama, now everybody answer me (Hey Mama)
[Chorus]
(Hey Mama)
I wanna scream so loud for you, 'cause I'm so proud of you
Let me tell you what I'm about to do
(Hey Mama)
I know I act a fool but, I promise you I'm goin' back to school
I appreciate what you allowed for me
I just want you to be proud of me
(Hey Mama)
[Verse 3]
I guess it also depends though if my ends low
Second, they get up you gon get that Benzo
Tint the windows, ride around the city and let ya friends know (Hey Mama)
Tell your job you gotta fake em out
Since you brought me in this world, let me take you out
To a restaurant, upper echelon
I'ma get you a Jag, whatever else you want
Just tell me what kind of S-Type Donda West like?
Tell me the perfect color so I make it just right
It don't gotta be Mother's Day, or your birthday
For me to just call and say: (Hey Mama)
[Chorus]
I wanna scream so loud for you, 'cause I'm so proud of you
Let me tell you what I'm about to do
(Hey Mama)
You know I love you so
I never let you go
Wrote this song just so you know
No matter where you go our love is true
Mama mama mama mama mama...
Mama mama mama mama mama...

（嘿妈妈）我想尖叫那么大声对你，因为我为你骄傲
让我告诉你，我很担心这样做（喂妈妈）
我知道我的行为像个傻瓜，其实，我答应你，我要去回学校
我很欣赏你什么让我
我只是想让你是我的骄傲（喂妈妈）
[诗歌1]
我想告诉全世界关于我的一个朋友
这一点光我的，我FINNA让它发光
我FINNA带你们回给他们更好的时代
我FINNA说说我的妈妈，如果你们不介意
我是三十岁的时候，你和我移动到智
12月下旬，严冬给了我一个冷
你定了我的东西，这是对我的灵魂
著名的自制鸡汤，我可以有另一种一碗？
你工作到深夜，只是为了保持上的灯
妈妈让我的训练轮，所以我可以继续我的自行车
你会在这个世界给什么
迈克尔·杰克逊的皮革和手套，但没有给我一个卷曲
而你从来没有把任何人超过我
我爱你，对于这一点，妈妈，你看不出来？
七岁那年，抓住你的泪水在你的眼睛
因为一个黑人不忠的，告诉你的谎言，然后我就哭了
当我们跪在厨房的地板
我说我是妈妈爱你，直到你不要伤害没有更多
当我年纪大了，你是不是得工作，没有更多的
而我是让你的豪宅，我们买不起
见你是牢不可破的，明确无误
能够高度，夫人这是金战利品
一个活着的传奇太多，只是看什么做的天堂
给我们一个天使，我感谢你（嘿妈妈）
[合唱]
（嘿妈妈）
我想尖叫那么大声对你，因为我为你骄傲
让我来告诉你我将做
（嘿妈妈）
我知道我的行为像个傻瓜，其实，我答应你，我要去回学校
我很欣赏你什么让我
我只是想让你为我骄傲
（嘿妈妈）
[诗歌2]
阿甘的妈妈说，“人生就像一盒巧克力”
我的妈妈告诉我去上学，让你的博士学位
事端依傍，你可以用利润
不过还是支持我的时候我却反其道而行之
现在，我觉得它的东西我得
事情我必须做的，只是为了证明给你看
你被打通，可以合唱团，请
给我的“你是如此美丽我”一诗
难道你不知道，你就像一本诗集
马娅·安杰卢，妮基·乔瓦尼，打开一个页面，还有我的妈妈
拜托妈妈恰恰舞的智慧”我，让全世界的人看到你的舞步
现在，当我说嘿，你们说，妈妈，现在每个人都回答我（嘿妈妈）
[合唱]
（嘿妈妈）
我想尖叫那么大声对你，因为我为你骄傲
让我来告诉你我将做
（嘿妈妈）
我知道我的行为像个傻瓜，其实，我答应你，我要去回学校
我很欣赏你什么让我
我只是想让你为我骄傲
（嘿妈妈）
[诗歌3]
我想这也取决于不过，如果我的两端低
其次，他们起床你们就能拿到苯并
色调窗户，骑在城市和让雅的朋友都知道（嘿妈妈）
告诉你的工作，你得假的时间了
既然你把我带到这个世界上，让我带你出去
餐厅吃饭，上梯队
我是让你捷豹，任何你想要的其他
只要告诉我什么样的S型唐达西的怎么样？
告诉我完美的色彩，所以我让它恰到好处
它不肯定在母亲节，或你的生日
对我来说，只是打电话来，说：（嘿妈妈）
[合唱]
我想尖叫那么大声对你，因为我为你骄傲
让我来告诉你我将做
（嘿妈妈）
你知道我是如此爱你
我永远不会让你离开的
写这首歌只是让你知道
无论你走到哪里我们的爱是真实的
妈妈妈妈妈妈妈妈妈妈......
妈妈妈妈妈妈妈妈妈妈......
