Miss Bodega (speed)

Verse 1

Mama called this evening

Said son when you coming home

I told her soon I promise

But you know how the city roams

Pre-Chorus

Midnight stepping through the bodega

Aisle three and my heart stops

She's buying plantains and coconut water

Everything I know just drops

Chorus

Mama I love you

But I can't sleep tonight

Mama I love you

Miss beauty got me mesmerized

Standing by the shelves

Got me paralyzed

Mama forgive me

I can't sleep tonight

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Can't sleep tonight

Verse 2

She smiled and asked for fire

I said I don't smoke but okay

Hands trembling with the lighter

Wishing I knew what to say

Mama raised a good boy

But good boys lose their tongue

When heaven walks in sandals

And the night's still young

Pre-Chorus

Counting steps back to my apartment

Counting all the ways I'm shy

She's probably home two blocks away

Under the same city sky

Chorus

Mama I love you

But I can't sleep tonight

Mama I love you

Miss beauty got me mesmerized

Standing by the shelves

Got me paralyzed

Mama forgive me

I can't sleep tonight

Bridge

Wish you could see her mama

The way her braids fall down

She moves like Sunday morning

Different kind of holy sound

I know you prayed for someone

Who makes me feel this way

Maybe she's the answer

To what your son prays

Chorus

Mama I love you

But I can't sleep tonight

Mama I love you

Miss beauty got me mesmerized

Standing by the shelves

Got me paralyzed

Mama forgive me

I can't sleep tonight

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Can't sleep tonight
