[Intro]
Mother, mother (Mother, mother)
Everybody thinks we're wrong (Mother, mother)
Who are they to judge us? (Mother, mother)
Simply 'cause we wear our hair long (Mother)
Ooh (Ooh, oh)
Ooh (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Dah-dah-la-la, da-da-dada-da-da
Dah-dah-la-la, da-da-dada-da-da
Dah-dah-la

[Verse 1]
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have-nots
Money, we make it
Before we see it, you take it

[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life (Uh, ooh)
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
No, no, baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
Inflation, no chance
To incrеase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Sеnd that boy off to die

[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life (Hey, yeah)
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life (Oh, baby)

[Verse 3]
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
Oh, honey that I can't pay my taxes

[Chorus]
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yeah, it make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands (Oh, ow)

[Verse 4]
Crime is (Woo) increasin'
Trigger happy policin'
Panic is spreadin'
God knows where we're headin' (Oh, baby)

[Outro]
Oh, it make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Oh, it make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Oh, baby

H.E.R is an acronym for the phrase Having Everything Revealed, which is used as a moniker by Gabriella Wilson. The singer, who is signed to RCA Records was known for keeping her real identity under

“The mystery is a metaphor of who I am, of who I was at the time of creating the project. I feel like oftentimes we don’t like to be open as people about out emotions or things that we are going through. At the time [of recording], I was very closed off except for when I was writing or when I was in the studio.”

First showing up on the scene at SoundCloud when she dropped her first EP in 2016, H.E.R., Vol 1, followed up with H.E.R., Vol. 2. Her music is mixed with inspirations of R&B, hip-hop, and soul.
