Hey, Ma Lyrics

I waited outside
I took it remote
I wanted a bath
"Tell the story or he goes"
"Tell the story or he goes"

Full time, you talk your money up
While it's living in a coal mine
Tall time to call your Ma
Hey Ma, hey Ma
Tall vote, you know you mope it up
Well, you wanted it your whole life
You're back and forth with light

I waited outside
I was tokin' on dope
I hoped it all won't go in a minute
With the past that you know
I wanted all that mind, sugar
I want it all mine
I had a heavy mind, sugar
It took it, it was right

Full time, you talk your money up
While it's living in a coal mine
Tall time to call your Ma
Hey Ma, hey Ma
Tall vote, you know you mope it up
Well, you wanted it your whole life
You're back and forth with light

(Back and forth with light, back and forth)
(You're back and forth)
(Back, back, back and forth)

I waited outside
Then you took me in the room
And you offered up the truth
My eyes crawling up the window to the wall
From dusk 'til dawn
Let me talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em all

Full time, you talk your money up
While it's living in a coal mine
Tall time to call your Ma
Hey Ma, hey Ma
Tall vote, you know you mope it up
Well, you wanted it your whole life
You're back and forth with light

What is the Meaning of Hey, Ma?

This poignant track delves into the complexities of personal growth and the struggle of reconciling with past experiences. The lyrics seem to depict a journey of self-reflection, oscillating between past mistakes and future aspirations. The recurring refrain "Hey Ma" suggests a longing for simpler times or seeking solace in familial bonds during times of internal turmoil. The references to 'talking money up' while 'living in a coal mine' could be interpreted as the pressures of maintaining appearances despite struggling internally. The phrase 'back and forth with light' might symbolize the constant battle between hope and despair, optimism and pessimism in life's journey. Overall, this song beautifully encapsulates the human condition - our continuous endeavor to make sense of our existence amidst life's constant ups and downs.
