Mama's little baby is nothing but a consumer
Never making a profit, rendering empty pockets
Mama's little baby is trendy on the rumor
Buying, never investing while they're busy in market testing
On your town look around it's the first of the month
US economy will get its usual jump
We're creatures of habit, modern slaves
Guaranteed to spend it all in just one place
Mama's little baby is a dancer and a crooner
Making dough for the man
Whipping that big black buck again
Ooh, and every time we buy into this criminal society
We whip that big black buck again and bring him down to his knees
They're waiting 'round the auction block, they jack so hard to see
The consistency of my sperm breeding a monopoly, yes they did
Breeding a monopoly
Mama's little babies are pawns protecting the bishop
Taking fish, never learning
That they're keeping this whole thing turning
If Mama's little baby didn't buy or sell on the sabbath
Don't you know what would happen
Some economy backbone snappin'
Can't you see Illuminati waging quiet war?
Put the blood upon the lentil and the post of your door
We're waiting for new world order to come
Baby cant you see its here and almost gone
Mama's little baby is the backbone of that order
And no not kinda sorta making dough for the man
Whipping that big black buck again
Ooh, and every time we buy into this criminal society
We whip that big black buck again and bring him down to his knees
They're waiting 'round the auction block, they're jack so hard to see
The consistency of my sperm breeding a monopoly yes they did
Breeding a monopoly yes they did, here I'm is
Ooh, and every time we buy into this criminal society
We whip that big black buck again and bring him down to his knees
They're waiting 'round the auction block, they're jack so hard to see
The consistency of my sperm breeding a monopoly, yes they did
Breeding a monopoly, yes they did, here I'm is

Donnie Johnson was generating buzz on Atlanta’s local music scene even before his debut CD, an indie production called The Colored Section.

While some compare his style with another Donny (Hathaway), he credits contemporary gospel singers such as the Clark Sisters and Commissioned as his biggest musical influences. He grew up in Atlanta, the son of preachers whose strict religious upbringing left him little room to pursue his dream of becoming a soul singer. At age 20, Donnie hit the local Atlanta open-mic scene and performing with people like India.Arie in the late nineties. Today his concerts are part gospel revival, part unity rally, with fans singing along to his Black-and-proud anthems (“Beautiful Me” and “Cloud 9”) and love songs that avoid the typical R&B male bravado (“Heaven Sent”).
