lyrics

“Mama’s Got Snacks”

Wherever there’s water
There is life
Wherever there’s life
There is friction
Wherever there’s friction
There is strife
And when there’s strife...

Mama’s got snacks
Mama’s got snacks

She spreads her arms like branches
And drops you a fig
Her belly bulges like a watermelon
She cuts you a slice
Ma I need something sour
She squeezes lemon right from her tongue

Cuz she’s got carrots and melons and grapes, cocoa, raisins, rice cakes
A mother knows
Just what’s at stake...

She’s got snacks
Mamas got snacks

Here comes the sun
She puts some rays in her basket
Here comes a gun
She pours the lead in her basket too
When everybody runs
She’s rooted like a redwood tree

Cuz she’s got carrots and melons and grapes, cocoa, raisins, rice cakes
A mother knows
Who she needs to be...

She’s got snacks
Mamas got snacks
She got em…
Mama got snacks

Sometimes Mama gets tired
Of holding everybody up
Feeding all those spirits
Sometimes feels rough
Nobody thanks her
Not that she expects it
And so she
Sits in her own shade
With cocoa, raisins, rice, cakes
Sippin on sour lemonade
Sour lemonade!
Eating her own snacks.

Mamas got snacks
Mamas got snacks
Mama got
Mama got
Mama got
Mama got
Mama got...

Ooh ooh
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh ooh
Enough for everybody

Ooh ooh
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh ooh
Enough for everybody

Ooh ooh
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh
Ooh
Mama’s got...
Snacks.
