[00:04.99] <Verse 1>
[00:10.72] Tryna follow my intuition as I’m on this million dollar mission
[00:13.43] Mama told me I was special, thank God I listened
[00:16.96] My environment never let me be a pretender
[00:19.34] Similar interest with them **** boys but I was different
[00:22.22] The hoop dreaming lonely child, hung around Hyde Park, Chatham and the Stony Isle
[00:24.58] Pimps, players, gang wars, living in a lonely town
[00:29.02] Who can I relate to?
[00:30.21] Feeling like the Golden child, Chi city culture
[00:33.03] Full of pain, full of soul singers
[00:34.96] Dead bodies in our rivers but their souls linger
[00:37.70] A young black man living with unrealistic dreams
[00:40.64] But luckily I’ve seen some unrealistic things
[00:43.13] A child from the city took the good route
[00:45.69] Always fit in and always stood out, complex
[00:48.69] Layered, rather show you than say it
[00:51.26] Though I know my greatness is always understated
[00:54.04] Mama working 12 hours days on her feet
[00:56.60] Coming home, cooking dinner, made her son wanna weep
[00:59.32] My step father working while I’m zoning the beats
[01:01.99] Meanwhile my biological was roaming the streets
[01:04.75] Tryna be an entertainer, but my heart held love, no anger
[01:09.13] He out there tryna be a singer
[01:12.01] I guess this just the life I was made for
[01:14.94] <Hook>
[01:15.18] Mama told me I was special
[01:17.64] Mama told me I was special
[01:20.24] Mama told me I was special
[01:22.86] Gotta love her for that (yeah)
[01:25.64] Mama told me I was special
[01:28.55] Mama told me I was special
[01:30.77] Mama told me I was special
[01:33.48] Gotta love her for that (yeah)
[01:36.68] <Verse 2: J. Cole>
[01:37.20] Yeah, truly yours, J. Cole
[01:39.56] My mama coulda been a movie star
[01:40.98] You know like Judy Garland
[01:42.56] I went to St. Johns, I coulda went to Juliard
[01:45.24] Cause my beautiful mind mixed with my musical bond
[01:47.98] Deep as a funeral line, dawg, I get it from my mama
[01:50.61] I used to be embarrassed getting picked up in that Honda
[01:53.19] Thought my ****** might play me if they found out that my mama was a white lady
[01:55.99] So like gravy, had to cover that
[01:58.84] Plus my older brother black but he look white
[02:01.61] In an all black school, picture what that look like
[02:04.01] No wonder he was under-achieving, not believing in himself
[02:06.90] Coming home, just be keeping to himself
[02:09.33] Looking back through the silence, he was screaming out for help
[02:12.13] Maybe this verse can find the words to get the demons out himself
[02:14.76] So yeah, I’m exercising
[02:16.68] Right now my record climbing, I’m sort of a stair master
[02:18.88] ****** got there faster, I took the long route, I never been a scared rapper
[02:21.82] Boy this ain't Fear Factor, they tell me can you hear the wrath spilling out these paragraphs
[02:26.23] Made the world clear a path
[02:28.61] Bet I’ll be on top from now till the hereafter
[02:31.21] I'm special, mama told me I was special
[02:35.63] Mama told me I was special
[02:38.38] You know I love her for that
