Look into your mother's eyes
And realize they've been full of pain
(Look into it)
Heart broken seven times over in the same week
(Seven times)
Job let her leave after 20 years and she broke in tears
(Full of pain)
Look into the mirror to convince herself she's not weak
(Nah, nah, nah)
'Cause she don't do this for herself
She does it for her two kids
(Uh, huh)
No man in sight so she gotta pull her own weight
Times two
Maybe tenfold
'Cause tomorrow's never promised
And the future doesn't know what it holds
No one to console her when she's drinking alone
(Wait a minute)
No one to control her all her feelings her own
(Wait a minute)
Staring at the wall and noticed cracks in the fold
Mapping out her life
She knows that something is wrong
Where does it begin?
'Cause she don't know when it ends
(No one knows)
Tried to turn her life but she was turned at the door
(Where to go?)
Screaming in the parking lot a porcelain doll
With cracks up on the surface
Tryna mend the wounds from the fall
Tryna rise up out her hell to keep her daughters in school
(Rising up)
Working double shifts at night
So she don't see 'em at all
(For her kids)
But she gotta keep the hustle barely staying afloat
And her momma would've told her
Where the f*ck is you now?
Had her first kid at 16 and ran from her home
No parental figures had it figured out on her own
(Where the f*ck is you now?)
And her daughter's now in college
Almost got her degree
Tryna make her momma proud
'Cause she been through a lot

Living off of borrowed times
Saddened by all the mourning cries
The morning ties
All of our dreams together
The hopes that we made it better
For all of our sisters struggling
Fighting two battles
A war they called for our help we failed them
We gotta do better and fight it with them
Now listen I know they taught you in schools
That you gon' reap what you sow
But when you're living in Africa they gon' bet against you
And when you're living below your means
They gon' wrap you in chains
In the past it was slavery now it's minimum wage
Blue collars the villains within the eyes of the system
We earn our living through pennies
That's why we have to repeat it
Because your school wouldn't teach it
And the news won't believe it
Spin it around for the CEO making money off you
They gon' tell you it's fine
Then skip the message for dimes
They made up off of your suffering
