I was raised on the westside shanty town

I didn't get up until the sun went down

When your back's against the wall

You better get tough

You learn real quick how to swing and duck.



Chorus:

I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine

Good lookin' women backwoods and moonshine

Learned more about life on the streets then in the school

My sweet mama didn't raise no fool, (that's right.)



Some folks cheat and some folks lie

But I cant judge a man from the look in his eye

Don't hand me Jack and try to call it cola

I know the difference between shit and shinola.



Chorus:

I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine

Good lookin' women backwoods and moonshine

Learned more about life on the streets then in the school

My sweet mama didn't raise no fool, (that's right.)

(I'm talking about mama, oh sweet mama.)



Mama was no angel

But she taught me right from wrong

She knew every single word

And every Single note of every song

She taught me how to gamble

How to role the dice

If it makes you fell good do it

Don't think twice.



Chorus:

I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine

Good lookin' women backwoods and moonshine

Learned more about life on the streets then in the school

My sweet mama didn't raise no fool, (that's right.)



Chorus:

I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine

Good lookin' women backwoods and moonshine

Learned more about life on the streets then in the school

My sweet mama didn't raise no fool, (that's right.)



Talkin' about my sweet mama

Mama didn't raise no fool...
