About the Song: This outlaw country ballad with trap influence tells the infamous story of Ma Barker and her ruthless sons. From bank heists to bloody shootouts, their legacy is one of love turned lethal — a criminal dynasty built on maternal devotion and destined for downfall.

LYRIC:
Ma Barker, the queen of crime  
She raised her boys to rob and to climb  
From banks to trains, they made their claim  
But the law was closing in, with a deadly aim  
Her sons were vicious, with a wicked grin  
Ma Barker's pride, her greatest sin  

She thought she was above the law  
But the FBI was closing in, oh so raw  
With every heist, she sealed her fate  
Ma Barker's shame, would be her weight  

Ma Barker's boys, they lived by the gun  
But their mama's love, would be their downfall, everyone  
She taught them to steal, to fight and to lie  
But in the end, her love would be their demise  

Arthur, Fred, Lloyd and Herman, the gang was complete  
Ma Barker's boys, the country's most wanted to beat  
From Florida to Illinois, they left a trail  
Of destruction and death, with no regard for sail  
Their mother's love, was their driving force  
But it would be their undoing, in the end, of course  

She thought she was above the law  
But the FBI was closing in, oh so raw  
With every heist, she sealed her fate  
Ma Barker's shame, would be her weight  

Ma Barker's boys, they lived by the gun  
But their mama's love, would be their downfall, everyone  
She taught them to steal, to fight and to lie  
But in the end, her love would be their demise  

The final showdown, at Lake Weir  
The law had them cornered, with no way to fear  
Ma Barker's empire, was crumbling down  
Her boys were falling, and she couldn't wear the crown  

Ma Barker's boys, they lived by the gun  
But their mama's love, would be their downfall, everyone  
She taught them to steal, to fight and to lie  
But in the end, her love would be their demise  

Kate Ma Barker's shame, it's a legacy of pain  
A mother's love, that drove them to the grave again  
Oh, the legend lives on
