[Intro]
Mmm, mmm

[Verse]
Remember, I was a small child, we would play
That was way before the drama I endured, and the pain
Mama had already told me there'll be days when it rains
But lately, it's been crazy hurricanes
And this life we live is strange, I've been lost since I was young
'Member pops had went to prison, that's when we was low on funds
Mama said I have this chip on my shoulder, that's forever
Seen them close the casket on Deja, we grew up together
Then Ace told me play it safe, three days later he was murdered
Got me on my knees, I'm askin' God what's my purpose
I pray that before I leave I leave my heart in these verses
'Til then I'll lay in this bed and replay thoughts in my head

[Chorus]
Mama told me when it rains, it be pourin'
Mama told me it would rain, but it's stormin'
I got this chip on my shoulder forever
I got this chip on my shoulder forever
Mama told me when it rains, it be pourin'
Mama told me it would rain, but it's stormin'
I got this chip on my shoulder forever
I got this chip on my shoulder forever

[Outro]
Mmm, mmm
I got this chip on my shoulder forever
I got this chip on my shoulder forever and ever
