Clenched Fists

Stepped into a world with two clenched fists They can't pronounce my name 'cause the vowels don't fit I dropped a syllable just to make it sit pretty I'm gonna speak a language that they understand I know I gotta try to find a way to blend in Silence is the devil in this household, family Mama said, I won't raise you quietly I dress up little Dolly just to have a playmate Grateful for my books, the dinner on my plate Counting down the days that I can finally break outta here Hell's Kitchen queens and the indie rock bands Dying to stay myself but I'm tryin' blend in Two clenched fists grabbed the mic and let freedom ring It's just me and my tambourine Mama Mama Oh, she never gave up Mama Mama She was the queen of tough love She lived her life on fire But she always played it cool Mama sure raised hell Mama didn't raise no fool Speeding down the highway with two clenched fists Finally got my freedom and it feels like this Pedal to the medal with the open road ahead of me Eyes wide open 'cause the world's on fire Soldier girl fighting trying to lift it all higher My heart's a kick drum but my soul sings a rhapsody I wonder what Mama would say if she could see me Mama Mama Well, she never gave up Mama Mama She was the queen of tough love She lived her life on fire But she always played it cool Mama sure raised hell Mama didn't raise no fool Mama Mama She lived her life on fire But always knew to play it cool Two clenched fists and raising hell Mama didn't raise no fool Oooh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Ohhh She got two clenched fists let freedom ring She got two clenched fists and she keep on singing Two clenched fists getcha tambourine And just keep on keep on keep on Two clenched fists let freedom ring She got two clenched fists and she keep on singing Getcha tambourine, uh uh And just keep on keep on keep on La la la la la la la la Mama didn't raise no fool
