She calling him a lover
Was raised without a mother
He'll be a good father
That's all that really matters
Mama said don't let your light change direction
Mama said she sorry she ain't here to protect you

In a system built for you to be a failure
Be the Job in your scripture
Be the Job in your scripture

Go
Be Van Gogh
Paint your dreams
Color your soul
Go
Be Van Gogh
Let your art
Make you whole
Go

She said be persistent
Keep love at a distance
Never trust anyone that don't keep you lifted
Many men will make your money the real issue
Let me repeat
Many men will make your money the real "issue"
Mama said don't let your life change your direction
Mama said she sorry cause she can't even protect you
In a system built for you to be a real failure

Be the Job in your scripture
Be the Job in your scripture

Go
Be Van Gogh
Paint your dreams
Color your soul
Go
Be Van Gogh
Let your art
Make you whole
Go
