And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out
I'm movin' out
I never liked you niggas
Who knew one day I'd be just like you niggas? (I'm movin' out)
Uh, uh, uh
Alright you niggas
Uh, uh, uh
Alright you niggas
When I become my mama's boyfriends?
(I'm movin' out)
When I become my mama's boyfriends?
He walked in our lives
I was only five (I'm movin' out)
Superman pajamas, I was super duper fly
Sitting there like, "Wow, he at least hooper size"
You know I scrutinize like, "Who this newer guy?"
I'm my mama boyfriend, I'm her little husband (I'm movin' out)
I was the man of the house when it wasn't
Trying to get to know me, homie? Just killed the charm
You ain't interested in me, you just tryna fuck my mom
We are the voices of our parents' bad choices
The aftermath of divorces, the kids of bitter split-ups (I'm movin' out)
And babysitters, grandparents that don't know what do to with us
And the last thing I wanna see is Mama's new nigga
You old Old Spice wearin', short chain wearin' (I'm movin' out)
Dress shoes and jogger pants wearin', church sock wearin'
When you first stop caring about your appearance?
When you get here anyway? I already got parents
Don't try to put me in line, I already got crayons
My mama said I could do it, I already got clearance
Keep your hands off my mama, how Anita got Clarence
Yeah, I know she look good, but you need to stop staring
I drew a picture of her that'd make her proud
But the door was locked, and the TV up so loud
I scream out, "I ain't going to sleep no time soon!
And when I do, I'm sleeping in my mama room!"
I don't like you, nigga
If I was old enough, I'd fight you, nigga
I wanna run over you with my bike, you nigga
Don't go to sleep at night, you nigga
When I become my mama's boyfriends?
(I'm movin' out)
When I become my mama's boyfriends?
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up then I'm movin' out
Twenty years later, where has the time gone?
Now a nigga dating having problems of his own
Now a nigga grown and the tables turned around
I never thought I ever raise another nigga child
He don't like his mama boyfriends, just like me
Don't wanna do the wrong thing, that's very un-Spike Lee
But he be like Deebo 'round his mama n'em
Cause when she here, he be quiet
When she leave, he be talkin' again
He be wildin' again, be calm
I don't drink the drama, or sip the Dom Tyler Perry-on
You gon' marry my mom?
Look, I don't read palms, and I don't read psalms
But I did take lil' man to church, took lil' man to school
"Look, lil' man, kids don't make the rules
Even though I ain't raise you, and you your mama angel
Don't get it twisted, baby boy, I'll Ving Rhames you"
I never liked you niggas
Who knew one day I'd be just like you niggas?
Uh, uh, uh
Alright you niggas
Uh, uh, uh
Alright you niggas
When I become my mama's boyfriends?
When I become my mama's boyfriends?
