Mama Used To Say Lyrics - Ji - Junior

Ooh 

Yeah, girl 

Said a small boy once asked, When will I grow up 

When will I see what grownups do see 

In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age 

To be recognized is when I'm not unmasked 

And mama used to say, Take your time, young man 

Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old 

Mama used to say, Take it in your stride 

Mama used to say, Live your life 

As the years went rushin' by he would cut down on his age 

He would tell his girl of how it used to be 

How his mommy passed away, but these lines she would say 

And at the time he couldn't understand 

Mama used to say, Take your time, young man 

Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old 

Mama used to say, Take it in your stride 

Mama used to say, Live your life 

You're young, so young, don't hold on back 

Do all you want to do 

Now is the time for you to stride 

For you to get better in what you are doin', oh 

Now is the time for you to stride 

For you to get better in what you are doin', oh 

A small boy once asked, When will I grow up 

When will I see what grownups do see 

In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age 

To be recognized is when I'm not unmasked 

And mama used to say, Take your time, young man 

Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old 

Mama used to say, Take it in your stride 

Mama used to say, Live your life, live your life, live your life, oh 

Hey, mama used to say, Take your time, young man 

Mama used to say, Don't you rush to get old 

Mama used to say, Take it in your stride 

Mama used to say, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Ooh 

Ooh 

Mama used to say, ooh 

Mama used to say, ooh 

Mama used to say, ooh 

Mama used to say, ooh 

Mama used to say
