Tell momma I was good

Tell momma I was good

I stopped the moment you asked me

Tell momma I was good

I was walking home with a friend

Tell momma I was good

I was polite and raised my hands

Tell momma I was good

I called you “Sir” as I spoke

Tell momma I was good

I saw the panic in your eyes

Tell momma I was good

I fell prostrate at your command

Tell momma I was good

I heard the fear in your voice

I had no weapon except my skin

Tell momma I was good

I had no crack except my creed

Tell momma I was good

I felt your odium as you did the search

Tell momma I was good

I should be free I passed the quest

Tell momma I was good

I saw your smirk and heard your flak

Tell momma I was good

I heard the blast and hearing is done

Tell momma I was good

I felt the stab as you pulled the catch

Tell momma I was good

You spilled my gore and smoked my brains

Tell momma I was good

You changed the story and saved your barge

Tell momma I was good

You planted the pistol and painted the proof

Tell momma I was good

You sold the whopper and courted the press

Tell momma I was good

You are the hero that crushed the zero

Tell momma I was good

The harm is done and I am gone

Tell momma I was good

The hurt she feels will be forever

Tell momma I was good

The questions she has are a million and one

Tell momma I was good

Can I at least ask one last favor

Tell momma I was good

Can you tell my momma that  I was good

Tell momma I was good

For you alone are the only witness

Tell momma I was good

You alone and the thirty-seven leads

Tell momma I was good

The deed is done but please do one more

Tell momma I was good
