Thursday #2/Hey Mama

Hey Mama by Kanye West

Album: Late Registration

Released: 2005

"Hey mama, I wanna scream so loud for you

because I'm so proud of you,

and let me tell you what I'm about to do.

Hey mama, I know I act a fool but

I promise you I'm going back to school

and I appreciate what you've allowed for me

and I just want you to be proud of me...

I just want to tell you about a friend of mine.

This little light of mine I'm finna let it shine.

I'm gonna take y'all back to the better times.

I'm going to talk about my mama if y'all don't mind..."
