Lyrics

I just pray you make it make sense one day Why I had to suffer and feel all this pain God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers And I've seen trauma in my life happen over and over Give me closure Lord And make it all make sense one day Why I had to suffer and feel all this pain Like doctor strange I have to wonder was this the only way There's a fighter from Zimbabwe Her name is Kudakwashe She's the current best boxer in Africa She'll leave you black and blue She won the world championship belt in 2022 She's one fight away from being the best in the world She's met the president And been on the news to her it's nothing new In her last fight Her opponent had flew In inside a helicopter Kuda showed up in a taxi Won the belt and took it back to her family To her it's nothing new Allow me to Reintroduce myself, my name is MaS My friend Shawn told me a lot about you I make music Kuda Shawn told me that you could use A theme song for you to enter the ring with I tried writing it but didn't know where to begin since I barely know your story So please give me a minute To let me know If I had a peak at your soul What would it show She said a lot of pain and a lot of growth I used to pray That God makes it make sense one day Why I had to suffer and feel all this pain God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers And I've seen trauma in my life happen over and over Give me closure Lord And make it all make sense one day Why I have to suffer and feel all this pain Like doctor strange i have to wonder was this the only way I used to be a hairdresser before I was a boxer So I used to box braids before I bossed up But we couldn't afford rent so we braided hair on the street Most Zimbabweans are unemployed So we just work on the streets So when people would walk my way I would stop them and say "Hey $20 for braids" "Hesi kani askana, huya I'll make you look neat" But that would make us get arrested And spend nights in a jail cell Cause police would call that Disturbing the public's peace Imagine being arrested just for tryna earn a meal And I was a single mother Who was also just trying to heal I had been married at seventeen By the man of my dreams Who very soon became my living nightmare He said he loved me But he was controlling He'd force me to run boxing drills Early every morning Lock me up in the house Accuse me of being a cheater Punch me right in my mouth Kick me right in the femur Blood all over the ground Staring up the ceiling That's the father of my child who is causing all of this bleeding I had a chance to go to Japan and pursue boxing But he forced me to reject it and put my dream in the coffin Cause he said if he wasn't going too I couldn't go at all That's when I finally packed a bag And gave my parents a call But in our culture This highly frowned upon as a resolve Cause when you're getting abused People don't want to get involved They just tell you "baby be strong" What? Just make it all make sense one day Why we have to suffer and feel all this pain They say You give Your hardest battles to Your strongest soldiers And I've seen trauma in my life happen over and over Give me closure Lord And just make it all make sense one day Why I have to suffer and feel all this pain Like doctor strange I have to wonder was this the only way The bigger cross the more it motivates Yea The bigger the cross the more it motivates So I moved in with my parents and my first born child And we were very poor in a very small house The room I used to sleep in Had a hole in the ceiling so when it rained I'd quickly lift the bed and stand there just getting wet Then my child would join my parents In the next room my life had Left me so embarrassed And stressed dude and that's when I found out I was pregnant And guess who's the father And just when think that life can't get harder The doctor told me I was having twins Whilst I was giving birth And that was the saddest shit I'd ever heard How will I provide for these children man this is absurd New life is a blessing but damn it felt like a curse Imagine finding out in the delivery room That your womb is actually carrying two What would you do? I felt like giving up and that's euphemism But this exactly the point Where you should listen God is a God who starts working in the final minutes If you choose to not give up Trust me, you won't regret it Sometimes what we think are curses are actually blessings Those twins became my biggest motivation They gave me the power to overcome my situation Some women can't have no babies Crazy, I was blessed me with three Yes my husband was abusive but He also made me be The fighter that i am, today Physically and mentally Listen, boxing is a male dominated industry So many female athletes sleep with men Just to chase their dreams But I've never been abused Trust me dawg, that's rare to see Cause I learned to stand up for myself So me being a fighter isn't proved by some belt It's proved by me overcoming all this pain that I've felt Me and my past are at peace I have closure But I had to wait till it was over So I pray He makes it all make sense one day Why you suffer and feel all your pain God why is it i suffer and feel all this pain?
