[Chorus - Ryan-O'Neil]
Mama Mia can I talk to ya?/
Mama Mia can I maybe take a walk with ya?/
Ooh baby you the lady I been looking for/
You good looking but, uh, can you cook and stuff?/
[Verse 1 - Ryan-O'Neil]
Goodness gracious/
You see her face and her waist? It’s amazing/
The kinda chick you wanna be chasing/
No patience, no time for waiting/
It’s blatant, can’t hide my infatuation/
I’m faced with a basic arrangement – a dame that/
Won’t give a minute of her day to get play with/
Trying to get her digits with my methods, should I change it?/
Is it ’cause I’m dark-skinned? Maybe she’s a racist/
On some KKK shit, yo that’s ancient/
She ain’t even white, she a light-skinned Haitian/
Anyway she tried many ways to escape it/
But I held her with my conversation..it’s fading/
Her defenses now my sense is I made it/
Even with her guard up, her heart I invaded/
Still going hard as she softens her features/
Mama Mia I just wanna please ya/
[Hook - Domer]
I wish that we could talk like you were just alone with me/
And we could be baby if you’d just come home with me/
We could be amazing if you would just only see/
That life is better once you really get to knowing me/
I wish that we could talk like you were just alone with me/
And we could be baby if you’d just come home with me/
We could be amazing if you would just only see/
That life is better once you really get to knowing me/
[Verse 2 - Kats]
Mama Mia, my Madonna was Italiana/
A stand up chick like, ‘I swear he was with me your honor’/
An air-tight alibi you ain’t gotta bother/
To double check shit, check the double Ds on her/
Freeze mama let me please holla/
I wanna blow up your phone like Hezbollah trying to please Allah/
I wanna please you baby, make you breathe harder/
And make the room ’bout 100 degrees hotter/
[Chorus - Ryan-O'Neil]
Mama Mia can I talk to ya?/
Mama Mia can I maybe take a walk with ya?/
Ooh baby you the lady I been looking for/
You good looking but, uh, can you cook and stuff?/
[Verse 3 - IllSpokinn]
Okay, I know what you’re used to/
Borderline abuse and you’re just trying to cruise to/
The next destination, baby patience is a virtue/
These so-called hey-hey players never learned to/
Speak in front of their peers/
You dropped something dear/
The convo – let’s pick it up right here/
You can tell a champion from the size of the grind/
This my third session today, my 500th rhyme/
Hmmm saying your fly is an insult/
The sky is jealous, you’re interstellar and then some/
It’s quite simple babygirl, you know what I’m after/
You fine as a hairline fracture – laughter/
[Verse 4 - Domer]
Mama Mia/
So cold but I want her on my lips like a bottled beer/
Make her make noises like onomatopoeia/
One in a million feeling like the lottery – I…/
Wanna see her all night like a double feature/
Acting dramatic like the star of Madea/
She’s sexually infectious like gonorrhea/
God I need protection, she’s getting in my mental/
And now all I can see is her shape like a stencil/
[Hook - Domer]
I wish that we could talk like you were just alone with me/
And you could be baby if you’d just come home with me/
We could be amazing if you would just only see/
That life is better once you really get to knowing me/
I wish that we could talk like you were just alone with me/
And we could be baby if you’d just come home with me/
We could be amazing if you would just only see/
That life is better once you really get to knowing me/
[Verse 6 - Jake Lefco]
Mama Mia, Mama Mia /
Andale andale mami eeahh!/
I’m not even Hispanic, got me speakin Spanish, Mira!
I want you en mi vida, treat you like a queen, I’ll take you out and feed you margaritas/
Please, I’ll even eat your carnita/
Take you to my house and make you grita/
Here’s my number, call me, let me know when I can see ya/
Holla if you ever need a Visa, dame un besito mamacita/
Your eyes intoxicate me like tequila/
Hot like jalapenos, why you being cold like Condoleeza?/
Me diga if I said something offensive to you mi hija/
I see your sensitive, so lo siento mi amiga/
Or maybe its my breath? I ate a sandwich with some scallions/
If I buy a pack of gum, will you come talk to me about it?/
Si quieres saddle up and ride me like stallion/
‘I have no idea what you’re saying, I’m Italian’/
[Hook - Domer]
I wish that we could talk like you were just alone with me/
And we could be baby if you’d just come home with me/
We could be amazing if you would just only see/
That life is better once you really get to knowing me/
I wish that we could talk like you were just alone with me/
And we could be baby if you’d just come home with me/
We could be amazing if you would just only see/
That life is better once you really get to knowing me/
