[Verse 1]
It's so easy to become caught up in your own life
Filled with all of your own problems, can't even sleep at night
Everyday it's like a new problem arrives
Need to ground yourself, can't afford to lose your mind
If you wanna know the secret, if you want the best advice
Come and take a listen
Fall in love with what you find

[Hook 1]
Go and tell your mama you love her, go and tell your mama you love her
Without her you could not love another, without her you could not love another
Go and tell your mama you love her

[Verse 2]
Everything she did in the past, you knew it already happened
No use to every time you see her you get to snappin'
She's constantly apologizing for the things that she has done
But what you must remember is those very first 9 months
Let me let you in on a secret, if you want all this advice
Come and take a listen, you fall in love with what you find

[Hook 2]
Go and tell your peoples you love em, go and tell your peoples you love em
And thank them cause without em you're nothing, and thank em cause without em you're nothing

[Outro]
Go and tell your mama you love her
Go and tell your daddy you love him
Now go and tell your brother you love em
Now go and tell your sister you love em
Now go and tell your cousins you love em
Now go and tell your homies you love em
Now go and tell your baby you love em
You tell em, you say baby I love you

Kehlani

Oakland R&B singer Kehlani Parrish, better known as just Kehlani, first found fame on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Her group Poplyfe reached the final, losing to Landau Murphy.

Kehlani left Poplyfe after the show, but her solo career stalled for contractual reasons. She finally released her début solo project, Cloud 19, in 2014. A breezy, poppy mixtape, Cloud 19 flew largely under the radar, although Complex described it as “outstanding.”

2015 was Kehlani’s break-out year. Her sophomore mixtape, You Should Be Here, featured Chance The Rapper and BJ The Chicago Kid. It earned her national attention and even a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary, although it ultimately lost out to Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd.
