Everyday you live through a mother's hands You never stand but in your own two shoes Look at us through a dirty glass Who's gonna be the one to move? "Have a sense of pride," she said to him "Open up your eyes," she said to him Take the bag off your head, the smoke out your mouth and live up to your word Everyday you live a lie You don't ask why On your own, on your own Now is now and you are you Don't waste my time, sit through it You're right here, be right there Why do you just sit right here and Waste my time it's not just like That is that and you are you Don't cheat yourself just do it He ain't your mama! Take the trash out He ain't your mama! Smack the fool outta your mouth He ain't your mama! Take the trash out He ain't your mama! Smack the fool outta your mouth Write this down so you can do it without nag nag nagging me all of the time Oh I'll tell you once, won't tell you twice But that grown ass man won't heed advice I'm tired... Why do you just sit right here and Waste my time it's not just like That is that and you are you Don't cheat yourself just do it He ain't your mama! Take the trash out He ain't your mama! Smack the fool outta your mouth He ain't your mama! Take the trash out He ain't your mama! Smack the fool outta your mouth Write this down so you can do it without nag nag nagging me on Oh I'll tell you once, won't tell you twice But that grown ass man won't heed advice I'm tired, so tired Oh no! He ain't your mama! Take the trash out He ain't your mama! Smack the fool outta your mouth He ain't your mama! Take the trash out He ain't your mama! Smack the fool outta your mouth Write this down so you can do it without nag nag nagging me on Oh I'll tell you once, won't tell you twice But that grown ass man won't heed advice I'm tired

Half His Heart 04:32

Hold his hand here, half his heart has been Bending, breaking, because it's free Free from the fickle fear of freaking from the scene Serenity is certainty Turning time tables to the times before War was waging here at our doors Doing the devil's deeds to cast a shadow Against the dark wall before we fall Time casts a shadow on a really think wall but I'm taking time, taking time, taking time now Time casts a shadow on a really think wall but I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now ticking I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now ticking I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now ticking I'm taking time, ticking time, taking time now Hold his hand here, half his heart has been Bending, breaking, because it's free Free from the fickle fear of freaking from the scene Chances are that goodness still succeeds At living in our basic needs No matter how long it's been since you've seen me I am still yours Serenity.

White Flag 03:01

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you Or tell you that But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it Where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess and Destruction to come back again And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again But if you live by the rules of it's over Then I'm sure that that makes sense I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet And I'm sure we will All that was there Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be

Please don't tell me how you school me and rule me Cause I am my own, this sound is my thrown I sit upon it high and reach for the clouded sky There is peace in me, more than you would believe The shape and time you explain as the right way It's your way, it's not my way Mold me, scold me, call me out No just hold me There is peace in me more than you believe Black tie, black shoes, kick it The snooze, six more times before I fade out Black tie, black shoes, kick it The snooze, six more times before I fade out So don't show me how you school me and rule me Cause I am my own, this sound is my thrown I sit upon it high and reach for the clouded sky There is peace in me, more than you would believe The shape and time you explain as the right way It's your way, it's not my way Mold me, scold me, call me out No just hold me There is peace in me more than you believe Black tie, black shoes, kick it The snooze, six more times before I fade out Black tie, black shoes, kick it The snooze, six more times before I fade out Oh black tie

about

The single “Half His Heart” opens up the world of Mama Magnolia. “Lyrically it’s about discovering the good in people even when they don’t seem like good people,” she explains. “Half of your heart is being told to be a certain way, but you still have that pure serenity somewhere inside you.”

Meanwhile, “Ain’t Your Mama” tempers a simmering musical groove with raucous and robust vocals punctuated by funky bass and rambling horns.

“It’s a reminder to bad roommates,” smiles the singer. “Clean up after your own self, because I’m not your mom! So many of our songs have these deep, intentional meanings and shadowy lyrics. This is very straight forward!”
