Mama’s Lullaby

Shhh…

Mama right here, baby boy.

I know the world rough, but you gon’ make it.

Listen close to me…

Hush lil’ soldier, don’t cry no tears,

Mama see your pain, Mama feel your fears.

I’m workin’ these doubles, tryin’ to keep on strong,

But I promise you, baby, you ain’t walkin’ alone.

Streetlights flashin’, sirens hum their song,

But you gon’ rise up, you gon’ prove ‘em wrong.

Every scar you carry, boy, it shows you fight,

And the Lord gon’ guard you through the coldest night.

So hold on tight, son, don’t lose your flame,

Even if the block don’t call your name.

There’s a brighter day, don’t lose your way,

You’re covered in love when you kneel and pray.

Hush now, baby, don’t say a word,

Heaven’s listenin’, your voice been heard.

Even in the struggle, you’re never alone,

God gon’ carry you, He’ll bring you home.

Baby, I know them corners, dice games, and fights,

But Mama pray daily that you choose what’s right.

The streets gon’ tempt you, try to chain your soul,

But you stronger than the weight, let the Spirit take control.

You my diamond in the rough, my reason to shine,

No matter what they say, son, your future’s divine.

Pain makes leaders, faith builds kings,

And Mama hear the angels every time you sing.

If the hood try to break you, keep standin’ tall,

Mama know you built to rise after every fall.

The promise ain’t money, cars, or fame,

Your worth in the Lord, not the block’s false claim.

Lay your head, baby, close your eyes,

Peace gon’ find you where the struggle lies.

Even when the night feels too long,

Remember in the morning, you already strong.

Hush now, baby, don’t say a word,

Heaven’s listenin’, your voice been heard.

Even in the struggle, you’re never alone,

God gon’ carry you, He’ll bring you home.

Shhh… Mama right here, baby boy.

This world cold, but your soul still shine.

You gon’ grow, you gon’ climb,

And forever, you mine
