lyrics

Mami, I've been working 70 hours a week
Mami, I've been driving back to forth when the sun's too far to be seen
The people up there don't know what it's like
To live along the dime

Mama, have mercy
Mama, have mercy
Mama, have mercy
Mercy on me

Mami, I can’t find a job no more, but I wanna work, best believe
Anyway, what’s the purpose of this call, is there something you need from me

I gave my life for this economy
Do you know what that means

Mama, have mercy
Mama, have mercy
Mama, have mercy
In the morning

Mama, have mercy
Mama, have mercy
Mama, have mercy
In the evening
