Little Ones

Yeah…
This one’s for the mothers still fightin’ every single day…
Even when nobody sees it…
Even when nobody cares…

Sunrise crackin’ through the glass
Coffee cold, boots on the gas
Workin’ ten hours breakin’ my back
Come right home and make it fast

Bills stack taller than the kitchen sink
I don’t even got time to think
Everybody needs somethin’ from me
But nobody asks if I’m sinkin’ deep

My man smiles but it feels so fake
I see right through every move he makes
Wearin’ that mask like I don’t know pain
Like I can’t see all the love done changed

And I keep holdin’ on…
Even when my soul feels gone…
I swear I’m barely breathin’
But I gotta stay strong…

Mommy loves you little ones
You’re the reason I ain’t done
When this whole world turns its back on me
You’re my light when I can’t see

What the hell has become of me…
A broken girl that nobody sees…
But I’ll stand tall through anything
For my little ones… I’ll stay strong

Ponytail and dirty hands
Tryin’ to be the best I can
Nobody claps when a mother bleeds
They just expect you to never need

I hide my tears in the late night drive
Ask myself if I’m dead inside
But then I hear em' yellin’ “Momma”
And somehow that keeps me alive

They're my pride, they're my joy
My whole world, in a lil' voice
Every hug makes it better
Even when life give me no choice

To every loyal mom workin’ all the time
Missin' sleep, barely scrapin’ by a dime
I see you honey…
Even if the world don’t…

Mommy loves you little ones
You’re the reason I keep pushin’ on
Even when my heart breaks down
You lift me up off the ground

What the hell has become of me…
Just a tired soul searchin’ peace…
But I won’t fall, I won’t run
I’ll stay strong for my little ones

Yeah…
This goes out to all the loving moms out there…
The ones still fightin’ silent battles…
Keep your head up…
Your kids see your love… even when nobody else does.
