Mama Said
A contemporary R&B and hip-hop track featuring a blend of soulful vocal harmonies and rhythmic rap verses. The song opens with a lush, atmospheric vocal arrangement and a melodic piano motif. The beat is characterized by a crisp, mid-tempo trap-influenced drum pattern with sharp snares and a deep, resonant 8-8-8 bassline. The vocal performance transitions between smooth, melodic singing in the choruses and rhythmic, articulate rapping in the verses. Production elements include subtle reverb on the vocals, clean synth pads for harmonic depth, and a polished, radio-ready mix. The structure follows a standard verse-chorus-verse format with a focus on emotional delivery and lyrical flow.

Lyrics
Eyes on the rearview, feel like they plottin'
Mama told me keep it solid, never get too cocky
These niggas smile in yo face, but they pocket watchin'
Soon as you slip, they switch, leave you out here rottin'
I came from the mud, had to grind for the glow
But loyalty rare, most these niggas just for show
Mama prayed every night, said "Boy stay on yo toes"
Cus the same ones hug you tight be the first to expose
I seen bruddas turn ghost when the pressure applied
Talk big on the net but in person they hide
Mama words hit different when the block get live
Don't move fast, take it slow, let the fake ones die
Mama's voice in my head, steady warning sign
Watch who you call brother in these changing times
They'll cheer when you up but vanish when you down
Slow it down, feel the vibe, don't move too fast now
Mama said don’t move fast
Cus if you ain’t careful them that say yo bruddas ain’t gon’ ride they just gon’ watch you pass…
Mama said don’t move fast
Cus if you ain’t careful the ones you call yo bruddas ain’t gon’ ride, they just gon’ watch you pass…
Countin' up blessings but still watch for the snakes
Mama said trust yo gut, boy don't make no mistakes
They laugh at yo come-up then plot on yo plate
When it's time to slide, funny how they got brakes
I move like a ghost, keep the circle hella small
Ain't no second chances once they show they true call
Mama voice in my head every time I ball
"Don't chase that fast life, it'll make you fall"
Seen niggas lose it all over a bitch and some pride
Mama cried when I told her I almost died
But I listened close, kept my head on a swivel
Now I'm up but still humble, that's how you stay livin'
Mama said... don't move fast...
