Yeah
What you doing mama?
Working like you do mama

[Chorus]
What you doing mama? I know you working like you do mama
Hit me on your breaks so you tell me all the new drama
What's new mama?
I can tell you need to move it just a little
Slow up your roll, move it 'cross the middle

[Verse 1]
This for the moms that fill in for the dad
January '04, that's when my own dad passed
Looking back on it, mom, you the best thing I had
Fast forward, ten years, and you never looked sad
And you married now, done with the things you carry around
Tennessee bound, life don't hit the fan or hit the ground
I understand now, I understand now

[Chorus]
What you doing mama? I know you working like you do mama
Hit me on your breaks so you tell me all the new drama
What's new mama?
I can tell you need to move it just a little
Slow up your roll, move it 'cross the middle
[Verse 2]
You working second shift, made our time drift a bit
Knew you always had it, if nobody helped pay for rent
Female Clark Kent, Nissan, dark tint
American Black Women, protects all through God's strength
In Jesus Name that we pray that we woke up here today
Did he tell you it's our day?
Did he tell you it's okay?  (Did he tell you it's okay now?)

[Chorus]
What you doing mama? I know you working like you do mama
Hit me on your breaks so you tell me all the new drama
What's new mama?
I can tell you need to move it just a little
Slow up your roll, move it 'cross the middle

[Outro]
Mama, you had it poppin' before we had any options
Making sure that I'm safe, making sure I got a conscious
This for you, only you, 1 of 1
And your only son
