Old Girl/Shining Star |
Old girl, remember that you’re a star |
You shine, even when it seems afar |
Remember who and what you are |
Cuz girl, you are a shining star |
This to ya single parent mothers |
Raisin' the youth in the gutter |
No phones, spendin' days |
At the booth with ya numbers |
Baby daddy left you |
When ya stomach and your breasts grew |
You thought that he was special |
Only if you just knew |
But you don’t need him, and it sucks |
He ain’t leavin' extra bucks |
When it’s freezing |
Catch a bus, just to feed 'em |
I know at times your situations seems pretty bad |
It’s gonna get better, my golden treasure |
Without you, sunshine it wouldn’t be no day |
You just started shinin' my way |
Now all my ladies say… |
Yeah, I know it’s hard for you, yeah |
Got ya moms kinda concerned |
Didn’t trust him that much |
He just delivered the sperm |
Then he was out just like them color levis |
Medium shirts, Mayn buckles, and Adidas |
And through it all, she never threw it in your face |
Had to work two jobs, get a smaller place |
And she stayed in church, renewing her faith |
Kept her head above the water |
With just minimum wage |
Trying to keep her boy about the hookers |
Where she from, dog, it ain’t all good |
All my mothers say… |
Girl never let life get you down |
With shaka, sit you down |
It’s beef, face to face |
When you leave basic faith |
Just keep your head up high |
It was once said to cry |
It’s good to get it all out |
You should get rid of all doubt |
For you the truth, that I adore |
And it’s really cuz |
You never has your kids feel more poor |
Than they really was |
You worked your fingers to the bone |
Just to keep the ringer on your phone |
Lights and heat up in your home |
Yeah |
I hope you take it as inspiration |
Don’t let situations, try your patience |
It gets rough, but you’ll weather the storm |
Always came with a hustle when the right was smores |
So we wrote this song, just for you |
Cuz it take a lot of guts just to do what you do |
Most couldn’t understand or walk a mile in your shoes |
Plus the love that I got, we appreciate you |
All the ladies say… yeah |
To the single parent mothers |
Holdin dem bridge cause they gotta go to the laundromats on Sundays and drag |
they kids with em |
All the ladies say…(Bounce) |
To the single ladies |
We feel your pain |
We got love for you |
