Full Lyrics:
Hey Mama it’s me
Say you better wait child, said you’ve been a long time running

Hey Mama answer me
Baby boy you better sit down, can’t listen when the suns out
My only son this will be so hard to hear

C’mon Mama what do you mean
I know you’ve been knocked down
I know it ain’t all been easy, nothing ever good really is

Why you gotta wait so long (x2)

But she said son let me reason with you
You think you carry such a weight
I know I never beat you boy, but you better start acting like this here’s a race

You ain’t gone far enough to say at least I tried
You ain’t worked hard enough to say, well I’ve done mine
You ain’t run far enough to say my legs have failed
You ain’t gone far enough
You ain’t worked hard enough
You ain’t run far enough to say
It ain’t gonna get any better

You picked a bad time
You picked a bad time to listen to me (x4)

You ain’t gone far enough to say at least I tried
You ain’t worked hard enough to say, well I’ve done mine
You ain’t run far enough to say my legs have failed
You ain’t gone far enough
You ain’t worked hard enough
You ain’t run far enough to say
It ain’t gonna get any better
