Six DaysE

(for you) (yeah)

Six days! (six days) Six days! (six days)

Mama did nails six days, on her feet

Six days! (six days) Six days! (six days)

So her son could talk slick on a beat

One day off, she spent it cookin' for the week

Now it's my turn. Mama, take a seat.

Seven a.m., mask on, the acetone sting

Lady in the chair on the phone, don't say a thing

Don't look up, don't say thanks, push a five across the table

Mama smile anyway. I learned that ain't weakness, that's a cable (strong)

Holdin' up a house, a whole kid, and a debt

Shop owner took a cut and she ain't complain yet

I did homework in the back by the towels and the wax

Learned my times tables off the tips, plus tax

She'd say "con ơi, study, don't end up like me"

Ma, I'd be lucky. You the strongest thing I've seen.

Six days! (six days) Six days! (six days)

Mama did nails six days, on her feet

Six days! (six days) Six days! (six days)

So her son could talk slick on a beat

First check from the music, didn't buy me a chain

Walked in that same shop in the middle of the day

Put the keys on the counter, told the owner "what's the price?"

He laughed. Then I showed him. Then he didn't. That was nice.

Now it say her name in red out on the glass

She still come in on Tuesdays 'cause she don't know how to pass

Time without her hands movin', that's the way that she was made

So I got her a chair. A good one. In the shade.

She don't understand the songs, she just know that they loud

Tell her friends at the temple "that's my son." That's the crowd.

Your hands still smell like it.

I hope they never stop.

(SIX DAYS!)

Six days! (six days) Six days! (six days)

Mama did nails six days, on her feet

Six days! (six days) Six days! (six days)

So her son could talk slick on a beat

One day off, she spent it cookin' for the week

Now it's my turn. Mama, take a seat.
