Don't be tricked by false promises. Don't give up who you are for trivial things. Work for justice and truth. This song speaks of "mama" who gave up herself for the promises of a man. He stole her heart in love, but she gave up her soul for it. It serves as a warning as mama has been burned and is now left looking for a better day.
