Little Momma

Hey, little momma
I've stood in that same line
I have the same marks
I've put on my makeup
and held my babies
held my head high
I've stood in that line
little momma, keep on holdin
just keep holdin on
learn, learn to change a tire
learn not to cry in public
always say what is right
and your child will one day
will take up your fight
little momma, you're alright
you're just tired 
but you'll be ok
little momma
you and the babies will be fine
