lyrics

If your mother found out
you’ve been running around
you’d be run out of town
better keep your head down
If your mother found out
you’ve been running around
you’d be run out of town
better keep your head down

Fallow, feeling shallow
Foul daos espouse a route to the gallows
Miss demeanor, ain’t no mistress meaner
She mixed tricks so that no cliques could beat her
And she said “What is this? This is just impossible
This is how the pigs get when the trough is full”
(and she said) “Who did this?
Put you in the hospital?”
“They dress like us but they act like wolves.”
And when the anger’s cold the soul is just drudgery
Slow roast them all prolong the suffering
Old lobes at fault fraught with slow buffering
Close the whole block open with thuggery.
Cops, don’t want none of it. Dawg, they want some of it
Put yer hands up, the dogma so buttery
No miranda, so bypass the stuttering
All-a-y’all hustled ya follow ya follow

If your mother found out
you’ve been running around
you’d be run out of town
better keep your head down
If your mother found out
you’ve been running around
you’d be run out of town
better keep your head down

If your mother found out what’s coming out your mouth
Might as well pack your suitcase and head down south
Because Mom’s touts clout, and settles her losses
It costs to cross bosses, there ain’t no doubt
You’ve been running amok, blew the lid off the box
You don’t wanna give up, the attitude of an ox
Bleeding stock to stay top dog won’t grok that you’re stuck
Want to buck the old mule when opportunity knocks
You’d be run off the road, thrown over the gate
She knows your escapes when the moment awaits
And when the threshold breaks, she broke your jaw
Such a bold mistake, her biggest flaw
Better keep your head, keep the chip on your shoulders
if she wants you dead, then no cell will hold her
You made her bed but as the anger gets colder
Mother won’t rest till her work is over

No matter what you tell her she won’t ever give up
No matter what you tell her she won’t ever give up
No matter what you tell her she won’t ever give up
No matter what you tell her she won’t ever give up
No matter what you tell her she won’t ever give up
No matter what you tell her she won’t ever give up
No matter what you tell her she won’t ever give up
No matter what you tell her she won’t ever give up
