[Verse 1]

I'm the one who sings their lullabies

I'm the one who wipes the tears they cry

I'm bible-readin'

Jesus-preachin'

On the in and outside

But God help you if you ever cross the line

[Chorus]

Back off my babies

You can't replace me

Don't go thinkin' you know better

I'll do the prayin'

I'll do the raisin'

I'll decide what's best

Because I'm Mama

Because I'm Mama

[Verse 2]

Everybody's got their cheap two cents

Stranger, teachеrs, even the govеrnment

I'm not one to make a scene

But your crazy is my gasoline

Just try me and you'll find out what I mean

[Chorus]

Back off my babies

You can't replace me

Don't go thinkin' you know better

I'll do the prayin'

I'll do the raisin'

I'll decide what's best

Because I'm Mama

[Bridge]

I'm the keeper and protector

I'm the frontline, the defender

I'm the comfort and the fighter

Like a mama bear in the wild

A little pretty, pretty deadly

I ain't lookin' for a fight but I'm ready

I'm the grit and the grace

So, don't get in my way

[Chorus]

Back off my babies

You can't replace me

Don't go thinkin' you know better

I'll do the prayin'

I'll do the raisin'

I'll decide what's best

Because I'm Mama

Because I'm Mama

Oh, I'm Mama

Back off my babies

I'm Mama

Because I'm Mama
