Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yo, single black woman

Mother of three

Tell me, I know it's hard

Eyes red from fatigue

Heart scar, mind bleeds to misery

Soul abandoned, please be stronger

Years worn as the door slams, daddy leaves, gone

The cold breeze weaves another sad love song

Right eye bruised the color of dawn

Left eye scorned

Another morning spirit confused

Let go of her warning

You held on, mommy, thank you, thank you

[Verse 2]

You a black angel

With swollen ankles

You were my clay through your gates to life

Therefore I

Am your first born

First torn from your flesh

First to clutch your chest

Overwhelmed by the force of my first breath

And so I bleed

???

Cried the tears of mother Isis

Tongue bleeds from biting

Gargantuan broken behind

When it's trying to piece the puzzle

Of the crisis

Rising

[Verse 3]

(Runaway)

You watched my father just

(Runaway)

I know it's hard

But you never, ever

You never

(Runaway)

And when it's time to pay the rent

You never

No

(Runaway)

And all this for me

I thank you

[Verse 4]

Rising to work another day

Undermined, next to nothing wager

Never enough it seems

In and out of panic, wager

This impetus for panic state

Hidden under candy visages

So children never knew a thing, uh

And time and time again

You remained my meridian

Heart beats, the rhythm, the struggle

A minion adrenalin'

And things pumped through arms

Afeminine

Strength rendering

Strong in itself

Envious

[Verse 5]

I wonder when you rest

Do you slumber deeper through your skin?

Yes, ligaments be diligent

From genesis

Material proverbs, thirty one scripture ends

Deserve a neck of shimmering jewels

The sweetest cinnamon

To breathe in the yin

And inhale the true

And essentially, the gender race

Help win the others

The benefit behind your eyes

Upon your place of truth

Innocence, remembrance

Let us share the same vision

When, I look at you

You're beautiful

[Verse 6]

(Runaway)

You watched my father just

(Runaway)

I know it's hard

But you never, ever

You never

(Runaway)

And when it's time to pay the rent

You never

No

(Runaway)

And all this for me

I thank you

[Verse 7]

Ma, you're beautiful

Look at you

In this cold, cold world

I know it's hard to catch a view

When life left you bruised

You survived the test

You through that treasure

With you I've grown into a woman

To share the few

Of your tears

Cried your innocence

You've been my amethyst

Throughout the years

Before birth and ever since

[Verse 8]

You ascended in between Earth and Heaven

And claimed your residence

You rest against the frame of the sky

A sacrifice, at the heights

Survival and dashing lives

And so on this track

I wanna ask

My, my, my

Single black woman

Mother of three

Tell me, I know it's hard

These days, God Bless you

Never, ever wanna wait

[Verse 9]

(Runaway)

You watched my father just

(Runaway)

I know it's hard

But you never, ever

You never

(Runaway)

And when it's time to pay the rent

You never

No

(Runaway)

And all this for me

I thank you
