So now you're off, your time's begun
Watch your back and learn when to run
Make no plans, just take it as it comes
I wish you well, so long
Don't forget what looks good is the one that's to have
Fight the fight to win if someone's treating you bad
Take what you can, but know when to let go
You gotta be strong to make it on your own
You wanna have a lot of money
You've seen it coming in your fantasy
Full speed ahead you cross the red light
You turn around wonder why it ain't right
I'm glad to say you start with no doubt
Now mama, your help I can do without
I've found a place and it's got what I need
I'm doing fine, but my nose bleed
You know the taste and you know how it feels
Just a little snooze, well, it ain't no big deal
Don't even cover the drapes, just stick it to the bone
Yeah, you gotta be strong to make it on your own
You wanna have a lot of money
You've seen it coming in your fantasy
Full speed ahead you cross the red light
You turn around wonder why it ain't right
Now what do you want
Why don't you leave me alone
Get out of my way, mama
I tried to reach you over the phone
Oh, my God, what's going on
Well, I hate to break your heart
And it's not all what it seems
I just had another nightmare and Mama
You wouldn't believe
But you're always in my dreams
