What it is

"Look At Me Momma" is an explicit rap song by Rod Wave, addressed in part to his mother. It sits in his catalogue of emotional, confessional tracks about coming up from hard circumstances.

What they actually see

The song pairs a soft melodic beat with sung verses about how far he has come, the sacrifices behind it and what he wishes his mother could see. Lyrics touch on poverty, doubt, lost friends and success, using profanity along the way.

Why kids love it

There is something powerful about a rapper openly wanting a parent to be proud of him, and kids feel that longing in their bones.

Worth knowing

The Explicit tag means swearing and mature references to street life, though the emotional core is a son talking to his mum.

One way in

That song is basically about wanting your mum to be proud of you. Does it hit like that when you listen?
