I Forgot That I'm Not The Mama

Lyrics

*Verse 1** Yo, it's Dad on the mic, here to save the day, Got my kids by my side, we’re making our play, When Mama's out running, it’s our time to shine, I’m the chef, I’m the maid, I’m a dad on the grind. “Dad, I need help, can you cook me some fries?” I whip it up quick, but they got other cries, “Where’s Mom? Can you help me find her please?” I scratch my head, man, I’m down on my knees. **Chorus** Oh yeah, I forgot that I'm not the mama, Cooking and cleaning, I’m the dad with the drama. They want her hugs, but I’m holding it down, Got the spatula in one hand, the chaos ‘round town. Oh yeah, I forgot that I'm not the mama, They love my pizza but still miss that persona. I’m doing my best, but they still want the whole, Singing “help me find Mom”, I’m just playing my role. **Verse 2** Lunch on the table, it’s a dad-style spread, Peanut butter and jelly, with a side of bread. When they ask for a snack, I’m their go-to guy, But when it’s “Where’s my Mom?”, I let out a sigh. I’m rocking the chores, got the broom in hand, But them little eyes looking, like I don’t understand. “Dad, where’s Mom?” it echoes in the room, I’m juggling all this while they’re painting with gloom. **Chorus** Oh yeah, I forgot that I'm not the mama, Washing the dishes, like a superhero drama. I’m here for the laughs, and I’m here for their dreams, But they say “find Mom!” while I’m living the scenes. Oh yeah, I forgot that I'm not the mama, Baking cookies in the oven, got that sweet aroma. I’m doing my best, but that’s just how it goes, Single Dad life, yeah, it’s full of great shows. **Bridge** I hear them giggle, I hear them cheer, But when the door creaks, they shout “Mom’s near!” Got my apron on, and the kitchen's a mess, But these kids and their laughter, that’s my happiness. **Outro** So I’ll cook and clean with a smile on my face, I’m the Dad of the year, holdin’ down this place. And when Mama returns, with her hugs and love, I’ll just be the shadow, but I’m still rising above. They’ll always want Mama, and that’s alright, Cuz tonight we’re vibin’, in this joyful night. Oh yeah, I forgot that I'm not the mama, But I’m the Dad they need, bringing love like a mantra.
