verse 1 
 G#m    D#m   F#   
Listen, mama 
G#m7                    D#m  F# 
So many words to describe you 
G#m7                      F# 
Strong would be an understatement 
  B           F#/A#            G#madd2 
Warrior would suit you so much better 
 G#m               D#m   F 
?Cause you?ve been fighting 
G#m                  D#m  F# 
She was just turning 16 
G#m                          F# 
Daddy left her out in the cold streets 
          B 
He wasn?t having it 
          F#/A#       G#m            Bbm7 
He found all her sins underneath the mattress 

Pre-Chorus 
 Bbm7                     Am7 G#m7 
Then suddenly her daddy up and died 
 G#m7                                  B/C#      Ddim7   
But still she sees her father there in Lucious? eyes 

 
D#m  F# G#m    D#m  F# G#m 
     Mama,       oh mama, 
    F#                B 
For everything you?ve been through 
        F#/A#          G#m 
There?s nothing that I won?t do for  
D#m  F# G#m   D#m F# G#m 
You, mama,     oh mama 
    F#              B 
See you deserve the best of 
F#/A#               G#m      D#m 
What this world can offer to you 
 D#m  F#        G#m 
      Mama, I love you 
     D#m      F#   G#m 
Mama mama mama I do love you 
F#         B              F#    G#m 
    Mama I love you, mama mama 


verse 2 
 G#m             D#m        F#       G#m 
In love with the thought of becoming queen 
          D#m          F#    G#m 
She never told, she did seventeen 

 G#m        F#               B 
She gave it all so unselfishly 
               F#/A#             G#m 
And she did it all just for loyalty 
           Bbm7 
That?s my mama 

Pre-Chorus 
 Bbm7                     Am7  G#m7 
I never knew someone to sacrifice 
 G#m7                     B/C#         Ddim7  D#m 
Everything for love, even gave up their whole lives 

 
 D#m  F# G#m  D#m F# G#m 
           Oh mama 
    F#                B 
For everything you?ve been through 
        F#/A#          G#m 
There?s nothing that I won?t do for  
D#m  F# G#m   D#m F# G#m 
You,       oh mama 
    F#              B 
See you deserve the best of 
F#/A#               G#m      
What this world can offer 
 

Bridge 
G#m7 Am7 Bbm7                       Bbm7 Am7 B/C# 
         You?re the reason for my being here 
 B/C#                             B/C# Am7 Bbm7 
     Mama I?m so grateful, yes I am 
 Bbm7                          Bbm7 Am7 G#m7 
I'm gon' be the one to guide your heart 
D#m               G#m7                 B/C#    Ddim7  D#m 
Although Lucious raised us, you still made us from the sun 

 
 D#m  F# G#m            D#m F# G#m 
             Mama, oh mama 
    F#                B 
For everything you?ve been through

There?s nothing that I won?t do for  
D#m  F# G#m   D#m F# G#m 
You,       oh mama 
    F#              B 
See you deserve the best of

What this world can offer
