“Momma Always Told Me” Lyrics

(Verse 1: Mike Posner)
My momma always told me
That I could do anything I want
So, I’m about to change up
I set myself some new goals
Just watch
(uh, uh, uh)

(Pre-Chorus: Mike Posner & Stanaj)
Everybody wants to be the one on the throne (On the throne)
But don’t nobody want to be somebody alone (Nah, nah)
I think I’ll put down the bottle, I’m gon’ lay off the smoke (Chill out with that)

(Chorus: Mike Posner, Yung Bae & Stanaj)
Momma always told me
Take care of your shit (Hey)
Live your life (I’m livin’ my life, livin’ my life)
Take care of your shit (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Shine your light (I’m shinin’ my light, shinin’ my light, ooh woah-oh)

(Verse 2: Mike Posner & Stanaj)
I woke up with the sunrise
Today’s gon’ be a good day, good God (Good God)
Yeah, I’m about to change up (Oh, baby)
I swear I’m gonna do right, just watch (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, baby)
Woo

(Pre-Chorus: Mike Posner & Stanaj)
Everybody wants to be the one on the throne (On the throne)
but don’t nobody want to be somebody alone (Nah, nah)
I think I’ll put down the bottle, I’m gon’ lay off the smoke (Chill out with that)

(Chorus: Mike Posner, Yung Bae & Stanaj)
Momma always told me (What she say? What she say?)
Take care of your shit (Hey)
Live your life (I’m livin’ my life, livin’ my life)
Take care of your shit (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Shine your light (Woo)

(Bridge: Mike Posner)
Uh, Alright
Woo
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen
This is yours truly, Mike Posner
We ‘bout to bring this thing back
Uh, Alright
Shout out to my little cousin Matthew
He just had his bar mitzvah
Here we go

(Chorus: Mike Posner, Yung Bae & Stanaj)
Take care of your shit (Take care of your shit)
Live your life (I’m livin’ my life, livin’ my life)
Take care of your shit (Yeah, yeah, woo-woo, babe)
Shine your light (I’m shinin’ my light)

(Outro: Mike Posner, Yung Bae & Stanaj)
