Yo, Mama told me, don't let 'em see you cry
Swallowed my pride, we're survivors, you and I
Running through the pain, eyes red, heart torn
In this world of battles, we got each other sworn
Years have gone, but the echoes stay alive
Standing tall in the court, where the truth must thrive
Girl, they don't know the struggles that we've seen
From the shadows of the past, it's like a horror scene
Mama said, Hold on tight, don't let 'em break ya
Through the storms we stand firm, they can't shake ya
Fighting for a future, 'cause the past is rough
Together we're a force, girl, we're strong enough
Flashbacks hit hard, she's back in those days
Recalling every moment, lost in the haze
They tried to crucify her, bending the truth
But Mama's got the fire, she's the one with the proof
Custody battles weighing heavy on our hearts
But she stepped up, said, We won't be torn apart
For the sake of the grandkids, she's digging deep
With fierce love like a lion, this fight we keep
Mama said, Hold on tight, don't let 'em break ya
Through the storms we stand firm, they can't shake ya
Fighting for a future, cause the past is rough
Together we're a force, girl, we're strong enough
Remember those days, pushed out without a care
No clothes, no home, just a longing stare
Mama took my hand, said We gonna rise
Echoes of her strength, lighting up the skies
This time she fought for me, not just a child
In the court room glare, she stood defiled
But her spirit was unbroken, I felt that fire
Together we'll rebuild, that's what I desire
Fallen but we're rising, as the world fades dark
Mama, you're my beacon, always leave a mark
In the struggle of love, we find our way
In the heart of every battle, we don't sway
Mama said, Hold on tight, don't let 'em break ya
Through the storms we stand firm, they can't shake ya
Fighting for a future, 'cause the past is rough
Together we're a force, girl, we're strong enough
So here's to the tears, here's to the fight
Mama said, 'Stand tall', girl, keep that light
For every heartbreak, we'll reclaim that song
Survivors built together, where we both belong
