Chorus

Chorus Mama, I remember nights you stayed awake Holdin’ all the pain but never let us break Tears in your eyes, still a smile on your face Only thing that felt like heaven in this place Mama, through the struggle and the drama I carry your love, swear to God, mama Even when the world turned cold like winter Your voice in my soul still make me stronger Verse 1 Cold floors, small room, bills on the dresser Life hit hard but you still held us together Daddy gone, hope low, pressure got louder You was in the storm but you never showed coward Late night prayers while the sirens sang Tryna keep your young boy away from gangs You gave me game when the streets gave scars Said, “Son, know your worth, don’t get lost in the dark” I seen your hands tired from work and pain But you wiped my tears when I felt ashamed Couldn’t buy the world, couldn’t stop the rain Still you gave me love and that kept me sane Now I walk with pride though my heart got trauma Every step I take got the strength of mama Chorus Mama, I remember nights you stayed awake Holdin’ all the pain but never let us break Tears in your eyes, still a smile on your face Only thing that felt like heaven in this place Mama, through the struggle and the drama I carry your love, swear to God, mama Even when the world turned cold like winter Your voice in my soul still make me stronger Verse 2 If I ever make it, put your name in lights Cause you fought more wars than these streets at night People see success but they don’t know truth Behind every scar was a prayer from you I was young, made mistakes, full of anger You still saw a king when I felt like danger And if heaven got gates and angels watching Tell ‘em my mama already earned her crown there No diamonds, no gold, just a faithful heart Held the family down when it fell apart So this song ain’t fame, it’s respect and honor From your little soldier to his forever mama
