Mama

So he says he loves you, wants you to be his wife,
But he's too hooked on the crackpipe for that to be right,
It's all lies, none of it's true,
Though it hurts you know what you gotta do,
Cut him loose like a dirty needle you don't know where he's been,
All I know is i've seen him high when he says that he's clean,
There was a grey patch when he first bust on the scene,
But as the mystery unraveled all became black & white,
Look what i mean is we can never be friends, he can go to hell,
No more hangin' round the house like a bad smell,
Either he goes or I do, it's your decision mama it's all on you,
You're too old to be naive and i know you ain't ignorant,
That's what's botherin' me ma, 'cause you're goin' on different,
I ain't ever seen you loved up like this before,
Why's it everybody but you can see you deserve more?

Mama, can't you see?
What he's try'na do, to you and to me,
Mama, it's so black and white,
While you're sitting at home, he's out smoking crack tonight

And i can't go through that, no, no can do,
I can't go through that, can't go through that, can't go through that no more,

When i first met him thought he was cool,
Had a few things in common like supportin' Arsenal,
I saw the way he made you happy like a love fool,
Coming down when times were hard up stressful,
But all that don't amount to shit, when he starts actin' like a little kid,
Treatin' you as if you were some kinda bitch,
Mama you ain't rich, but still he borrows your money,
He never pays you back, 'cause every penny he gets he spends on that,
Bad habit of his, fuckin' takes the piss,
Bringin' that slut into the house, ____________?
Now i know you threw him out for that,
But how long's it gonna be before you take him back?

Girl i know you're lonely, you're the only,
One who can't see that this bloke is a phoney,
And he don't really care about you mum,
He just says he does 'cause he fuckin' thinks you're dumb,

Mama, can't you see?
What he's try'na do, to you and to me,
Mama, it's so black and white,
While you're sitting at home, he's out smoking crack tonight

And i can't go through that, no, no can do,
I can't go through that, can't go through that, can't go through that no more,

My mama loves a crackhead is that what i'm supposed to tell my friends?
When they ask me how i'm doin' am i supposed to pretend?
Act like there's nothin' wrong when there blatently is,
Turn the other cheek when he's takin' the piss,
Fuck that, that's not how the man of the house acts,
I gotta defend my territory, guard my patch,
When i know he's doin' dodgy shit behind your back,
Put my foot down, stand my ground an' that,
This has got to stop, whether the guy burns crack or not,
His head ain't there he's fuckin' lost the plot,
Dead and buried is the act phrase, can't even act right,
Can't even act his age, that's so fuckin' lame,
30 something years old, he should feel ashamed,
If i was him i'd slit my veins at the mains,
Run a luke-warm bath and sit there 'til my arteries drained,
Do it right this time so i ain't gotta do it again,
'Cause there's nothing more pathetic than a cry for help,
Either you do or you don't wanna kill yourself,
Everybody knows you've got a problem so it don't matter if you admit it,
What you've gotta do is be a man and fuckin' deal with it,

I know the truth hurts mama, but this shit has gotta be said,
He don't love you, he never has and that's a fact,
'Cause the only thing he really loves in this world is crack,

Mama, can't you see?
What he's try'na do, to you and to me,
Mama, it's so black and white,
While you're sitting at home, he's out smoking crack tonight

And i can't go through that, no, no can do,
I can't go through that, can't go through that, can't go through that no more,
I can't go through that, no, no can do,
I can't go through that, can't go through that, can't go through that no more...
