Said My mama she had all of the soul
My papa taught me how to rock n roll
My mama she had all of the soul
My papa taught me how to rock n roll
Was about ten years old my dad was never home
Mama's makin money while my dad was always broke
I was still in school acting like a fool
Messing around in class didn't know what else to do
So I made all this profit stuffed it in my pocket
Self-made kid at eleven and I couldn't get enough of it
People ask me how
I look back then n now
It's a simple answer just hear me when I shout
Said My mama she had all of the soul
My papa taught me how to rock n roll
My mama she had all of the soul
My papa taught me how to rock n roll
I remember all the hard times
Mama never did cry
She was the Best in me
I remember all the good time
Papa never saw them
He was across the sea
She was the angel sent from up above
He was the one who made me tough enough
She was the one who taught me how to love
He was a goner when going got tough
Yeah
Yeah
Said My mama she had all of the soul
My papa taught me how to rock n roll
My mama she had all of the soul
My papa taught me how to rock n roll
Yeah Yeah My Soul and Rock and Roll
Yeah yeah My Soul and Rock and Roll
