Momma, You My Miracle

You the first one up, last one sleep

Hands smell like soap, but you still smell sweet

Stretchin' every dollar like it’s made of elastic

Turnin' little empty plates into magic

Bus stop rain, you was holdin' my coat

Lunch in your hand, and a prayer in your throat

Said “baby, be kind, don’t let the world change you”

The world hit hard, but your words came through

Momma, you my miracle

Turnin' all that little into so much more (yeah)

You took every broken piece I had

Made a home outta hurt, now I ain’t that sad

Momma, you my miracle

Every time I fall, you the open door

If I ever shine, if I ever stand tall

That’s you, that’s you, that’s all

You ain’t have much, but you gave what you got

Skipped your own meals, said you “wasn’t that hot”

I was too young to see the truth in your eyes

Now I’m grown, those memories got me choked inside

You taught me “say sorry,” you taught me to fight

But only for love, and only for right

You the reason I can look in the mirror

And see more than my scars, see your strength gettin' clearer (yeah)

Momma, you my miracle

Turnin' all that little into so much more

You took every broken piece I had

Made a home outta hurt, now I ain’t that sad

Momma, you my miracle

Every time I fall, you the open door

If I ever shine, if I ever stand tall

That’s you, that’s you, that’s all

One day I’ma buy you rest, real rest (real rest)

Keys to a place with a yard and a sunset

Till then, every rhyme, every stage, every crowd I’m in

You the quiet voice sayin’, “baby, you can win” (you can win)

Momma, you my miracle

Turnin' all that little into so much more

You took every broken piece I had

Made a home outta hurt, now I ain’t that sad

Momma, you my miracle

Every time I fall, you the open door

If I ever shine, if I ever stand tall

That’s you, that’s you, that’s all (that’s all)
