| 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 |
