Let me talk about the women in the world don't celebrate enough

The ones you hold it all together when the going's getting tough

My mum, single-handed through the mess that life became

Raised us all in Mosside and she never once complained

No father at the table, she became the table too

If you never had a mother like mine, I'm sorry, bruv, it's true

That some women carry mountains and they do it without sound

No applause, no recognition, they just hold the ground

I see you, every sacrifice you make I see you, I see you, every night you stayed

Afraid Just showed up anyway, that's what real

Love's like A woman standing solid in the middle of

The fire Real ones, this is for the real ones

The ones who never fold The ones who heal once

You gave that love to men who didn't always give it back

Who kept it moving forward when the world went off the track

Real ones, I see what you've been through This ain't a pretty song, this is the truth

You deserve a man who sees you for exactly what you are

Real ones, you were always meant to go far

A niece in Aurora, this is partly for you too

Watch how your daddy talks about the women that came through

Not every woman in my life was what I needed then

But every one of them taught me something Taught me how and when

To love more carefully, to see what's being given

To understand that women carry things that men stay hidden from

The mother of my children gave me more than she will know

Two extraordinary girls, and that's where credit goes

Oh, I see you Every sacrifice you made

I see you I see you

Every night you stayed afraid But showed up anyway, that's what real love's

Like A woman standing solid in the middle of the

Fire Real ones, this is for the real ones

The ones who never fold The ones who heal once

You gave that love to men who didn't always give it back

Who kept on moving forward when the world went off the track

Real ones, I see what you've been through This ain't a pretty song

This is the truth You deserve a man who sees you for exactly what you are

Real ones, you were always meant to go far

To every woman who was loyal when she didn't have to be

To every woman who stood firm so her children could be free

To every woman who was cheated on and still chose to grow

To every woman working double shifts that nobody knows

You are not invisible, I see every single thing

The way you carry quiet The strength that doesn't seem

The woman's on your shoulders and it barely says your name

Real ones, I'm saying it You deserve the fame

I've been a man who fell short I won't pretend I haven't

Loved women the wrong way Left things broken and abandoned

But growing means you face it Means you own the things you've done

Means you see a woman's belly Not just what she brings you, son

The right woman beside a man Watch what they can build

Not behind him and not above him Side by side fulfilled

From my side to my legacy I've been learning what this means

Real love is two strong people Not a man and his queen

Real ones This is for the real ones

The ones who never fall The ones who heal

The ones who gave their love to men Who didn't always give it back

You kept it moving forward When the world went off the track

Real ones I see what you've been through

This ain't a pretty song This is the truth

You deserve a man who sees you For exactly what you are

Real ones You were always meant to go far

Mama This is for you

Anais and Aurora This is for you

Everyone understood firm understanding Was the hardest thing

This is for you Real ones

Always
