A Mamas Words Or What My Mother Told Me
A Mama’s words or
What my mother told me
Hold it in baby girl
Don’t let them see you cry
Keep it on the inside
Be strong
Do it for mama
Please don’t cry
Don’t let them see you at your weakest point
Hold yourself up
Don’t give them the satisfaction of seeing you hurt
They’re just bullies
They don’t give a damn
They just want to see you get damaged
They just want to tear you to pieces
They don’t care
So don’t let them see the tears spill from your eyes
Don’t let them see you’re not as strong as they think
Don’t let them see your walls crumble
Don’t let them in
Don’t let them get close
Hold it in baby girl
Don’t let them see you cry
Keep it on the inside
Mama’s here for you to dry your tears once they’re gone
