Momma told me imma be

[Verse 1] Momma told me Imma be a star one day Woke up in the morning and kissed my face "Time to go, you're too special" To lay around my house and take up space You're gonna do something for the human race You didn't get my eyes, but you got my face Now go find some dream to chase Momma told me Imma be a star one day Went to all the games that I didn't play Said stay strong, it won't take long It started off slow, but you'll get there quick Zip that coat so you don't get sick Believe in yourself boy, that's the trick You're building this thing up, brick by brick [Bridge] She would pick me up from practice And she'd take me home from school She made me believe in magic She knew Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy too [Verse 2] Momma told me Imma be a star one day Cried a little bit when I went away I grew up, and all that stuff She told me I need to pick up my phone If it doesn't work out, you can come back home Knew I couldn't go, 'cuz I'm too grown Gotta figure this out alone [Bridge] But she helped me move to my apartment In the center of Downtown L.A Hugged me and said you just getting started I know that my star will find a way
