Verse 1
(Starts with a clean, slightly gritty electric guitar riff and a simple, driving snare drum)
I see the look you give me when I walk into the room
You size up the handbag, you assume the coming doom.
You whisper in the corner about the silver spoon I ate with
Say my life’s a paved highway, zero hills to navigate with.
Yeah, my car is too clean and my hair is always done
You think I'm just waiting for the next easy win to come.
You think the first time I get scratched, I'm gonna fall apart
Well, listen close, honey, before you judge the heart.
Pre-Chorus
(The rhythm section locks in tighter, the energy starts to climb)
You see the satin dress, you see the sparkle and the gloss
You don't see the lesson learned when everything was lost.
You see the easy living, you see the open door
But you don't know who was standing on the porch before.
Chorus
(Full band explodes: heavy drums, bass, and a soaring, powerful guitar melody)
Go on and call me spoiled, go on and call me pampered, please
But I promise you don't know me, you haven't seen me on my knees.
I was raised by a woman whose backbone was made of iron
She taught me how to walk through fire without even trying.
Yeah, I might have had the comfort, I might have had the rest
But the strength you see on the outside was put to the test.
So go ahead, try me—I'm a velvet fist in a boxing glove
I may be spoiled, but I'm tougher than you think love!
Verse 2
(The music pulls back slightly, focusing on the storytelling of the mother)
My Mama worked three jobs just so I could have the choice
She never raised a glass to money, she raised her honest voice.
She said, "You take the blessings, but you earn the respect you hold."
She showed me how to turn a paper promise into solid gold.
She didn't teach me how to shop, she taught me how to build
How to stand my ground in silence when the noisy space was filled.
She didn't shield me from the world, she sharpened up my sight
So I could spot the easy targets from the ones that know how to fight.
Pre-Chorus
(Building energy again)
You see the satin dress, you see the sparkle and the gloss
You don't see the lesson learned when everything was lost.
You see the easy living, you see the open door
But you don't know who was standing on the porch before.
Chorus
(Full, defiant return)
Go on and call me spoiled, go on and call me pampered, please
But I promise you don't know me, you haven't seen me on my knees.
I was raised by a woman whose backbone was made of iron
She tau
