I was raised by a real woman
She ain't afraid to go to war for her two children
Single mother working three jobs and still cooking
Never let us see you cry never asked for nothing
And you taught me never lie and never beg for nothing
Never trust a handout cause they're up to something
Hold on and be strong better days they will come
And never bow to anyone

Held back and let down but still you rise
Never let em see you cry, never let em see you cry

I know there were days you didn't eat there were
Nights you couldn't sleep cause you were praying
For me it's not easy as a single mother providing
Food and shelter but you did it and you hustled
I love you

Held back and let down but still you rise
Never let em see you cry, never let em see you cry - UAGH!
Held back and let down but still you rise
Never let em see you cry, never let em see you cry - UGH!

Bring it back

Never had much but we had enough that much is true
Never had much but we had enough that much is true
This one's for you
This one's for you
Never had much but we had enough that much is true
Never had much but we had enough that much is true
This one's for you
