Mommas Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You talk in circles, spin the same old lies Your mama gets the first word every single time I saw the warning stamped on your face Missing teeth, empty pockets and a borrowed grace [Pre-Chorus] You say you’re “handling it” but you never change Every promise bends back to your mama’s name [Chorus] Can’t choose me, can’t choose me you keep choosing Mom Can’t grow up, can’t grow up stuck where you come from You talk tough, but you fold when the truth gets warm Can’t choose me, can’t choose me so I’m gone [Verse 2] You blame the world, blame me blame pain in your head But your hands stay shaking and your story’s half-fed I heard the excuses I heard them too many times Your house got a king and it’s not mine [Pre-Chorus] You wear your mama’s name like a wedding ring But you can’t build a life when you won’t own a thing [Chorus] Can’t choose me, can’t choose me you keep choosing Mom Can’t grow up, can’t grow up stuck where you come from You talk tough, but you fold when the truth gets warm Can’t choose me, can’t choose me so I’m gone [Bridge] I wanted a man not a boy in a cage You had no plan just a mouth full of blame If your mother’s the ceiling then baby, that’s on you I’m not staying to be lied to [Final Chorus] Can’t choose me, can’t choose me you keep choosing Mom Can’t grow up, can’t grow up stuck where you come from You talk tough, but you fold when the truth gets warm Can’t choose me, can’t choose me so I’m gone Can’t choose me, can’t choose me I won’t beg no more
