Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – soft female vocal sample looping faintly] I seen her heels crack but her smile never did… If love was work — she gave it overtime. --- [Verse 1] She wore dreams like coats, stitched in silence Two jobs, late classes, still danced with defiance Broadway lights, but came home to dim ones Cooked with a script in hand — still got it done Mama was the sun when the house got cold Turned government checks into pockets of gold Ain’t no man held it down like she did with grace Kept food and forgiveness in the same plate I watched her turn bills into bedtime stories Wipe tears then iron clothes for the morning She gave up sleep so I could have rest Put her own dreams on hold just to give me her best --- [Hook – melodic, soulful with light auto-tune] All that weight on mama’s shoulders Still moved like it ain’t nothin’ heavy Carried my world, made hers colder Still smiled like her burden was steady She never bent, she never broke Held it all while I lost hope Mama, I owe you more than I know You the realest love I ever wrote --- [Verse 2] She ain’t cry loud, just prayed in the kitchen Burnt rice, but her love always hittin’ Even when I slipped, she stayed locked in Said, “You gon’ shine — just clean what you walk in” I seen her act on stage and act strong at home Margie the queen, turned struggle to throne She ain’t need applause, just wanted me straight Sacrificed her light so I could escape Mama taught me more than a book or block Taught me how to rebuild when the doors all locked Taught me what grace look like under stress And how a woman love deep even when there’s less --- [Hook Repeat – stronger delivery, layered vocals] All that weight on mama’s shoulders Still moved like it ain’t nothin’ heavy Carried my world, made hers colder Still smiled like her burden was steady She never bent, she never broke Held it all while I lost hope Mama, I owe you more than I know You the realest love I ever wrote --- [Outro – spoken outro over piano keys] You ain’t just raise me — you carried me. And I swear, I see your strength in every step I take now.
