I used to call myself a hippie
Only until I realized
There ain't no stopping people like you
Without a good, clean fight
I learned to stand up tall
Before I learned to crawl
That's right, mama, what's my name?
Nowadays, you're all tryna be my friend
Oh, Lord, it got me so confused
You show me glitter, but I want dirt
Now what am I supposed to do?
I learned to stand up tall
Before I learned to crawl
That's right, mama, what's my name?
Oh, you brought me down so many times before
And my papa told me not to let you get away with it, no more
So, watch out
Oh-oh, oh-whoa
What you done to me then, why can't you do it now?
I guess a man cannot be troubled when he's ready for it, yeah
But I need to justify this angst
If only I could find some peace of mind
I'd fill my heart with love
I learned to stand up tall
Before I learned to crawl
And that's right, mama, what's my name?
