Strong as a Mother

[Verse] She wakes at dawn, grindin' till the moon peeps, Bills stack like skyscrapers, keep her losing sleep, Tattered jeans, hand-me-down dreams, Kids a-growin', needin' more than scraps and screams. [Verse 2] Cup of joe, no cream, stress tears seams, Little ones askin' for the pie in the gleam, She fights the daily beast, sweat and crusted seams, Countin' coins, plottin' schemes, avoidin' broken beams. [Chorus] Strong as a mother, wounds deep yet covered, Light through the shutters, hope she rediscovered, She stands tall, world tries to smother, Holdin' down the fort, never gonna shudder. [Bridge] Feel the weight on her shoulders, crushin' boulders, Grit in her grin, colder than the coldest, Dreams frail, life derailed, but she soldiers, Warrior of the night, ain't nobody bolder. [Verse 3] Flippin' burgers, servin' smiles, hustlin' miles, Managers scoff, but she wears 'em like style, Kids see her, mama queen of the aisles, Priceless crown made of sweat and endless trials. [Chorus] Strong as a mother, wounds deep yet covered, Light through the shutters, hope she rediscovered, She stands tall, world tries to smother, Holdin' down the fort, never gonna shudder.
