Mama Marks

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I used to hide in the mirror light
Pickin’ every little line like it ain’t right
Pullin’ on my shirt, tryna make it fit tight
Feelin’ like my old jeans walked out my life
Then I look down, three hearts on the floor
Laughin’ at the cereal spilled on the door
Tiny little hands reachin’ up for more
That’s the body that they call “my mom” for sure
[Chorus]
These stretch marks?
That’s my story on my skin
Every line a little road
Where my babies all begin
This loose skin?
That’s the price of every grin
I’m a canvas, I’m a crown
I’m a home they’re livin’ in
Yeah, my body is the way it is
And I’m gon’ love it, love it, love it like this
My body is the way it is
Built three miracles, that’s the evidence
[Verse 2]
They don’t see the nights I never slept right
Rockin’ them to sleep by the fridge light
They don’t see the tears in the shower, head low
Wonderin’ if I’ll ever feel like “that girl” though
But I’m that girl with a car seat crew
Snack crumbs, sippy cups, whole new view
Every soft line says “look what you grew”
Every so-called “flaw” just proof I came through (yeah)
[Chorus]
These stretch marks?
That’s my story on my skin
Every line a little road
Where my babies all begin
This loose skin?
That’s the price of every grin
I’m a canvas, I’m a crown
I’m a home they’re livin’ in
Yeah, my body is the way it is
And I’m gon’ love it, love it, love it like this
My body is the way it is
Built three miracles, that’s the evidence
[Bridge]
Raise your shirt up, mama, that’s art
Every mark is a map of your heart (woah)
You ain’t broken, you’re brave, you’re enough
You’re the proof that love leaves marks when it shows up
[Chorus]
These stretch marks?
That’s my story on my skin
Every line a little road
Where my babies all begin
This loose skin?
That’s the price of every grin
I’m a canvas, I’m a crown
I’m a home they’re livin’ in
Yeah, my body is the way it is
And I’ma love it, love it, love it like this (like this)
My body is the way it is
Three bright souls, that’s my confidence
