August Alsina

Born and bred from the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, enter into the game, 21-year-old August Alsina... With the love and hustle of the Crescent City running through his veins, August is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. His recently inked deal with Def Jam Recordings looks to be a great step in the right direction, but music wasn't always in his future. August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, August's mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending.

Mama said stay out of trouble
Mama said don't be a fool
Mama said stay in somebody's church
Mama said boy stay in school
Mama told me I better get home, before the street lights come on
Mama always use to cry when I left her
Maybe cause daddy was gone
I still remember the lessons my mama taught me
But now it's my turn to show you how far they brought me

Mama I made it, ahhhh yeaaah
Mama I made it
I could of been locked up,
I could of been gunned down but I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now cause mama I made it
And I hope I made you proud

Mama said stay humble
Mama said stay true
Mama said boy keep that drama far away from you
Mama told me keep working
Busting on to the future
Mama told me she lost one and she ain't tryna lose two
But I had to find my way, and I had to get my own
Mama ain't always right, but she never let me round
I don't know if I'ma make it big, mama but I made it out
I know I didn't make it easy, I know you had your doubts
I still remember the lessons my mama taught me
But now it's my turn to show you how far they brought me

Mama I made it, ah yeah
Mama I made it
I could of been locked up,
I could of been gunned down but I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now cause mama I made it
And I hope I made you proud

Mama I made it,
Mama I made it
I could of been locked up,
I could of been gunned down but I found my own way
I ain't gonna stop now cause mama I made it
And I hope I made you proud
