Verse 1)
bet!, lemme take you back, to the days of smiles,
Momma's choice, left me hangin' for a while
Step-daddy's shadow , a snake in disguise,
My safe zone shattered, right before my eyes.
Whispers turned to screams, innocence gone,
A lil' girl's trust, completely withdrawn.
Then came the night, the final say,
"she screamed, "Get away!"l wanna say
(Chorus)
Why did you leave? (Momma)
Why did you go ? (Momma)
Im still here
don you know
(Verse 2)
Streets became my crib, the moon my only homie,
Neglect's cold grip, a story that's lonely.
But in the dark, a fire started to blaze,
A burnin' desire to see brighter days.
Found my voice, through verses and rhyme,
Spillin' my truth, one moment at a time.
For every girl out there, feelin' lost and unseen,
Know your worth, you a queen!
(Chorus)
Why did you leave? (Momma)
Why did you go
Im still here
Don u know
(Bridge)
Yeah, I know it's rough, and the pain runs deep,
But hold on, shawty, secrets we gotta keep.
We gon' rise above, let our spirits soar,
Leave the past behind, and open up the door.
To a future bright, where our dreams take hold,
Stories of strength, forever to be told.
We ain't victims, we survivors, standin' tall,
Ready to conquer, ready to give our all.
(Chorus)
Why did you leave? (Momma)
Why did you go
Im still here
Don you know
(Outro)
So, to all my young queens, let your voices be heard,
You are worthy, you are loved, every single word.
Remember your strength, let your spirit take flight,
Shine your own light, and make everything right!
