Lyrics

[Verse 1] I have prayed, I have prayed to your god When I pray, I found your god or so I thought [Pre-Chorus 1] He told me, "Let go, he will never come home" So I've been running, I've been running, I've been running on my own [Chorus 1] Mama, mama, when I was born Where was daddy and why did he go? Was he no good to you, mama? Did he have a different agenda? Ho Mama, mama, do we look alike? Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes? What does it do to you, mama? Do I remind you of papa? Ho [Post-Chorus] Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Every time you're done prayin' You've got much stronger than me Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa I had my face in the dirt When you were goin' to church When you were goin' to church [Verse 2] I have sinned, I have sinned to your god And when I sinned, I found my god or so I thought [Pre-Chorus 2] I had to let go, I don't wanna go home And I keep running, keep running, keep running on my own [Chorus 1] Mama, mama, when I was born Where was daddy and why did he go? Was he no good to you, mama? Did he have a different agenda? Ho Mama, mama, do we look alike? Do you see him when I squeeze my eyes? What does it do to you, mama? Do I remind you of papa? Ho [Post-Chorus] Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Every time you're done prayin' You've got much stronger than me, eh Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa I had my face in the dirt When you were goin' to chur- hmm [Bridge] (Ho, ho) Prai- praise the lord (Ho, ho) Oh, hallelujah (Ho, ho) Hallelujah, oh, hallelujah (Ho, ho) Ho, amen [Chorus 2] Mama, mama, when I was born Papa wondered, he left us alone He was no good to you, mama He had a higher agenda, ho Mama, mama, we look alike But don't you see you wanna squeeze my eyes? It means nothing to mama I got my mind out of papa, ho [Post-Chorus] Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa Every time you're done prayin' You've got much stronger than me, oh Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa I had my face in the dirt When you were goin' to chur- [Outro] Praise the lord Amen
