Mama (The Apology) Lyrics

I know for a fact that

Had I had a father Had I had somebody ,, and I hate saying

Cause white people love hearing Black people talk about this

But if I had a father I had somebody’s opportunities

I’d have been able to help my mother more

She wouldn’t have went road she went I could have been a better son

Forgive me mama (mama mama mama)

Dont cry mama (mama mama mama)

I promise one day how make you proud (How make you proud)

It will be alright Just hold on tight ( just hold on hold on hold on hold on me ya ) Forgive me mama

Don’t cry mama

I promise am gonna make you proud

It will be alright just hold on tight

Mama mama mama I need you mama

Mama mama mama pray for me mama

Mama mama mama I love you Saana

Mama mama mama mamaaa ye

I know ifi naba tefyo mwalefya

Ati mbe ayayaya Abanenu ba landa naba fye ichibebebe

Ati naliya ama yaaze nayafye ichiyeyeye

Elo ifwe kuwayawayafye mamawewewe

Ala ndasunka namaka fyakosafye

Amashamo yankonkafye Nchiteko ifi fyapena Nafilya ine fyalinkana

On your table you need foodo

Elo nalipya don’t know what to do

Mumutwe apa muli amashoko

Ngani umbi ngalinwa logoo

Forgive me mama Don’t cry mama

I promise one day I’ll make you proud (How make you proud)

It will be alright Just hold on tight ( just hold on hold on hold on hold on me ya ) Forgive me mama Don’t cry mama

I promise am gonna make you proud

It will be alright just hold on tight It’s like my mother is my partner

She a soldier you know she soldier

Like I’m a soldier you know I’ve watched

The repeat the game that she went through

If I would have went to saying when my mother went had not she did her route

And showed me which way it went wrong with her

My mother always told me

Don’t you ever ever just volunteer

Your to our people cause they’ll use you

That’s what they do . You know what am saying

She also told me to uh follow my heart

And for me to be the leader

But its interesting to see just the change

And your face , your reaction, your thought process

That’s all I ever wanted to do Ask my mama

I wanted to go to college I went to school all the way

And was ready to go to college

The only thing that stopped me was money
