Wale - Mama Told Me Lyrics

19yrs ago today the Kobe referred line happened lol

2018 listeners ?

R C what's up bro

2018 💯💪💙

Daii Dreamiin for sure what's up dropped by to say Wale is underrated

Classic

"Can't fuck with my dawg Wale"-Me!!!👦

I love this song

09 was a golden year!

those vocals in the beginning tho

I forgot about this song that I used to listen to every single day daaaamn!

It's crazy how you can come back to a song years later and realize most of lyrics flew over your head cuz you were still a lil baby

i still think it is funny that Wale rapped on two tracks with the same sample

DC Stand up. Maryland Stand up.

Aye don’t forget about Virginia mo!

this song just make me think of HOME

hopefully youve made it home by now brotha

man wale went beast mode on this track

I agree..

@SW4TR3PP1N true

@jesusrocks06 but i honestly dont like the collabs with Lady whack & Gucci mane, they are sell outs!

"i feel im a platter a phillips when i rapped" hahaha wale is so cleaver

where did wiz khalifa mix in on this track, completely irrelevant, very at tht, big infliction btwn intellect and paraphanelia haha

@bryze54 it is a simple play on words about new york and new jersey...the new jersey nets to the new york jets to cabfares like cabs and he is talking about his far reach in the game

Yup, birdmans been getting better lately. Listen to shittin on em' and veterens day

rick ross & birdman sounded better on this beat. true story

Check out B this dude is amazing you can hear some of his music by searching doityourselfrecords in the youtube search bar

That line is the complete and absolute truth. Wale is the truth.

"hip hops unbalance is outta hand aint
have to see Saw im already scared." this dude is a problem.

best kept secret

BlakKat Melrose exactly bro this song shall stay a secret between us

his net worth is high.. thats what he's trying to say

can someone fill me in on the line "my net is from jet setter to cabfares"?

THE best song on the Album, I dnt care wat nobody says, " God giv me strength , Allah give me patience, I am only a man I dont know what to think

wale's album was the most over-looked album dat came out so far...it didnt get the proper promotion...and dats sad cause attention deficit is a very great album

I'm feeling chris childs, you looking like kobe bryants JAW...for those of you that don't know back when kobe was young chris childs of the knicks snuffed the shit out of him..just clarifying

this version sounds like the rick ross and busta rhyme shit

wow i luv it! i'm on him. if anyone know who it is i wouldn't mind a briefing.

He sound like whiz khalifa checkout my page i got some dope vids
comment~subscribe~share

i likee this ! :D

double entendre

yeah this Album was tight az hell. From start to finish

Kudos to WALE!

Wale is a beast.

thank you...someone had to say dat...dis album is great...shoulda got more shine

yea, but it's dre's beat, he also had it in his dr. pepper commercial

wow, dude goes hard

The Begginings the same as Amerie's "More Than Love" song with Fabolous.
Wale's gettin recognition.

nigga im a 100 miles far im feelin chris childs u lukin like kobe bryants jaw

wale is a beast but the beat sounds like dr. dre's shit popped off wit t.i.

yes his first album....true but now how much do you hear of lupe unless its a mixtape. some people give him the credibility that he deserves but most people these days sorry they can't accept good music so it seems. point is yes they get recognition, but not as much as they should in my opinion mainly because like what Lupe said they won't dumb it down. people will always be simple minded. Yes i understand it has to sound good but sometimes you have to look past the beat and listen to the lyrics

real good album man, i was scared that it wud b jus another mixtape. believe it or not there is a difference, but wale did good kudos to that man

sorry people these days do recongnize real music lupe fiasco sold 81,000 copies his first week on his first album so he definitlely was'nt underrated don't get me wrong wale makes real music but it still has to sound good

since when did we base a artists pure skill from sales? if thats the case, u r callin artists talib kweli, pharoahe monch, and mos def mediocre

"hip hops unbalance has got out of hand/ aint have to seesaw i'm already scared" sick metaphor!

give the young boy time! DMV all day!

regardless if he didnt sell many records his first record people these days don't recognize music unless its a club hit or they talk bout drugs, sex, money, guns, and hoes. wale actually raps about real shit and relevant shit...... sucks he didn't sell more. however when people don't get what your saying because they are to simple minded to understand real hip hop and metaphors and lyrics thats what happens. Wale and Lupe 2 of the best underrated rappers in the game.

he only sold 28,000 his first week not to be mean but he's not dat good he alright doe

Diggy(rev Runs Son) remixed his track.
He went off on it too.

"they say that im that heir apparent to guide us, not DC this whole f**king genre"

Wale's dope. Im really happy that this album debuted at number 21 on the billboard charts. That's pretty good.

Lol i aint acting like nun.... ITS DA TRUTH :P .. but i'm sorry if u got offended lmaooo

shit . song is hottttttttttt !

shittin on em with busta rhymes and birdman

i meant to say rick ross freestyling on this wale beat whats it called

anybody kno whats this sample of jay z song wale used...this shit go hard though

shut up dont act like you know

I dont think you can really say he jackin beats becuase everyone uses the same producers ... and it dont really matter cuz every rapper use another person beat or makes it similar its nothing new

FUCKKKKKK i got a similar Chris Childs v. Kobe line in one of my raps. niggaz r gunna think i jocked it now lol

This one is better than Dr Dre's it seems like more though was put into it lyrically and production wise

the album just gets better ertime.

this is dope !!!

u can...more than love by amerie if u havent been told that yet.

u right. gud catch

tupac'ssong i dont give a fuck wasnt on stricly 4 my niggaz it was on his first album 2pacalypsenow

Bst jizzle new dc artist check him out on youtube: type: TJ MEC

How did Wale steal someone's beat?? Mannn this is straight DMV shit lls Idk what yall be talkn bout yo

What about prescription? smh

Tupac "I don't give a fuck." Stictly 4 my N.I.G.G.A.Z.

"Mamma told me there'd be days like this, but I'm pissed cuz it stays like this."

damn, theyre even advertising those headphones on album covers now. music videos were enough. Anyway, wales one of the only guys in the game worth listening to now.

joint cranx

its not "stealing" :P more of sampling
everyone does it.

oh wow him and amerie def have the same begining but it sounds better in amerie song

He put that gogo sound on this jont, DMV stand up

@qdfresh99 nah cuz, he jus sounded high, but he was on point wit the lyrics, listen wat he says, "y'all need to hail mary, y'all can't prevent", even KRS-One was lookin like damn on dat one

amerie ft. fabolous hahah it is a song

I like Dre's production better but this ain't bad. Still fiyah!

SLAMMINnJAMMIN shit popped off was dope
