lyrics

[Chorus: Chris Walker & Jardyn Howelton]
One of these days
You’ll be proud of me
You’ll be proud of me mama
You’ll be proud of me
One of these days
You’ll be proud
You’ll be proud of me
You’ll be proud of me mama
You’ll be proud of me
[Verse 1: Jay Diem]
And I said I’d be back when the street lights on
But 3 done come and gone
And I know you stayed up all night waiting for me all alone
With a glass of wine but my appetite
For adventure and my lust for life
Make me act brash and asinine
Oh lord just bless that pastors wife
And I’m never gonna make it to the NBA
Im probably never gonna get my MBA
I know you want to see me get a doctorate
But that lifes a box of chocolates
And Im so lactose intolerant I gotta spit it up ‘fore I swallow it
And I know my mama ain't proud of this
Music I spit but I promise this
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Jay Aura]
Said dear mama, you a strong woman
I wake up early in the morning with some breakfast cooking
And yo Im sorry for me acting up in school
But this rapping thing for you
Trying to get you a crib, with a penthouse view
I’ll get you everything you wanted
Your life is gonna be perfect
And I stay up long nights, speakers loud but it’s gonna be worth it
You told me to stay humble, that’s exactly what I’ll do
Wouldn’t be the person that I am today if it weren’t for you
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: JusL]
Never would've thought that I'd
Find myself in a place like this nigga so equipped
Can't afford to slip I know porcelain
Cause you don't take no sh- (Boy you better watch yo' mouth)
Mama
Disappointed with the path I picked
But I'm embracing my fears
Before I tear the game like a handkerchief
I know I never got my degree
I know you think I'm chasing the hype
You know I never stop doing me
You never take the advice
But Ima make you proud
My job is to get you to quit your job
Look back on it all and smile
I'll be back in the fall
[Chorus]
