Holy Water (my Mama Said)

That boy on the corner, he be sellin?fluff

Can³g tell him nothin,³vause his life is tough

Gotta make a livin,?he be out all night

But the old folks say betty raised that boy up right



My mama said

Boy, you need some holy water

My mama said

Sprinkle that boy with holy water

My mama said

Come on, come on, drink some holy water

My mama said

Come on, come on, child, take the lord with you



Babies makin?babies, doin?deals in the street

Boy³f got a deadline with a windin?sheet

His baby-mother, outta school, outta dreams

Caught up in soaps while little malcolm screams



My mama said

Boy, you need some holy water

My mama said

Sprinkle that boy with holy water

My mama said

Come on, come on, drink some holy water

My mama said

Come on, come on, child, take the lord with you



Sprinkle that boy with holy water, child

Everyone knows you can³g fight fire with fire!

Ashes to ashes, from cradle to grave

Drink holy water, that boy can sure be saved!





My mama said

Boy, you need some holy water

My mama said

Sprinkle that boy with holy water

My mama said

Come on, come on, drink some holy water

My mama said

Come on, come on, child, take the lord with you
