Single Mothers

[Intro]: Nelly. Rashida. Latoya. Theresa. Basheeba. Takeya. Mia and Neeka [Hook] {x2} To all the single mother (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming (We'll give the world to you) [Verse One] It takes a strong mother to make a child special You ain't sneeze, but indeed ma, God bless you It's trife, life stress can test your vessel You made from the best stuff on Earth like breast milk Deep in your shell you need cheese like manicotti Without a male hottie groping all over your body Pamper yourself with oils and bubble baths Let Calgon take you away from the trouble path You ain't got a man? Do the math with the man in you Love yourself, instead of these male animals It's true Stop looking, you'll receive what you need Pay the bills and build, you got seeds to feed Blessed is the mother when the man leave her So take a breather You ain't a hoe, bitch or a skeezer You Queen Nefertiti And Zinga and Sheeba So keep a strong mind and stay focused cause we need ya [Hook] [Verse Two] Caught between, school, job, babysitter Thinking 'bout your baby father like, "That crazy..." Wait, it's a small world It belongs to the kids What goes around, comes around, pretend he's doing a bid Have love in your heart, keep food in the fridge Fruits and vegetables, health is wealth, eat to live Whether you Muslim, Jewish, Buddah or Christian This for every woman standing solo in the kitchen Over hot pots cooking and the kids won't listen Nobody holding you down and you feel like flipping We know life ain't easy when you alone working hard But it's worth it, you got the perfect job Teaching the babies, motherhood's a mystery for us Force your positive thoughts to change history's course Of course you think, he ain't doing nothing for you Not true boo, he gave the world to you [Hook] [Bridge] Mama loved us when no one cares Thinking of us, mom was always there Papa's maybe, mama's baby Protect and raise me, the world is crazy [Verse Three] For all the long hours and sleepless nights Your strong power and the needless fights You a trooper to make it this far Yo, it's 10:00 and you know where your children are Sheets on the bed, roof over your head Shoes on the feet, seasonal threads Congratulations on the nation you saving Kids make it Cause of your hard work and dedication For you love, discipline and sacrifice You won't have no beef in the afterlife It'll be a great ending, thanks to a good start Life's a movie and guess who missed the good part [Hook]
