Converse series - Fire and I

Words of wisdom from my mum and the elders I grew up around ...
lyrics
Mama told me 

Ohhhhh mama told me! 

Mama told me 
Son listen to me 

If you don’t know 
Don’t act like you know 

Even if you know 
Act like you don’t know 

So you might learn 
Something you don’t know 

You be what you are 
You are what you be 

You give what you have 
You have what you give 

You sow what you reap 
You reap what you sow 

No pain no gain 
To gain there is pain 

2x Oooooh …. mama told me 
Mama told me 
Mama told me 
Mama told me 

2x She must be starting something 
She must be starting something 
She must be starting something 
She must be starting something 

Her eye brows 
Her giggles 

Body language 
Same age range 

I like her 

She looks away when I look 
And looks at me when I turn 
Again I turn when she turns 

I like her 

I Don’t know 
I hope so 
She must be starting something 

2x Ohhhh she must be starting something 
She must be starting something 
She must be starting something 

Mama told me 
Son listen to me 

If you don’t know 
Don’t act like you know 

Even if you know 
Act like you don’t know 

So you might learn 
Something you don’t know 

You be what you are 
You are what you be 

You give what you have 
You have what you give 

You sow what you reap 
You reap what you sow 

No pain no gain 
To gain there is pain 

Oooooh …. mama told me
