[Intro – soft, emotional]
Yeah…
To my babies…
Listen close…
This world ain’t always fair… but we still stand.
[Verse 1]
I know this life get heavy, yeah it weigh on your heart
Some days you gon’ feel like you torn apart
Ain’t nothing handed to you, gotta earn your name
Gotta fight through the struggle, push through the pain
And I know you gon’ question like “why me?”
Why the road so dark, why we can’t see
But even in the storm, don’t you lose your faith
God got a plan, even when it ain’t safe
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you feel like giving up
And you done had enough
Just remember who you are…
[Chorus – strong, emotional, repeatable]
I always got you, no matter the fight
We gon’ be alright, we gon’ be alright
Keep your head up, even in the rain
God on our side, we gon’ rise again
You gotta push through, don’t ever fold
Stay ten toes, be strong and bold
No matter what this world might do
Just know… I always got you
[Verse 2 – to your son]
To my son, be a man, stand tall and proud
Even when you feel like breaking down
Lead with your heart but protect your soul
Stay solid, stay true, never lose control
Be the man that you needed when you was young
Let your actions speak louder than your tongue
Respect yourself, and they gon’ respect you too
Real kings move different, that’s what you do
[Verse 3 – to your daughters]
To my girls, you queens, don’t you ever forget
You don’t need nobody just to feel like you set
Don’t depend on a man just to give you worth
Know your value, baby, you been blessed since birth
If he want you, let him prove his place
You don’t chase love, you set the pace
Get it on your own, stand in your light
A real one gon’ come when the time is right
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the world don’t understand
Just hold on to my hand
And remember who you are…
[Chorus – bigger, choir feel]
I always got you, no matter the fight
We gon’ be alright, we gon’ be alright
Keep your head up, even in the rain
God on our side, we gon’ rise again
You gotta push through, don’t ever fold
Stay ten toes, be strong and bold
No matter what this world might do
Just know… I always got you
[Bridge – gospel feel, emotional peak]
Pray through the pain, don’t lose your way
God gon’ make a way, He gon’ make a way
Even when it’s dark, you gon’ see the light
We was built for this, we was made to fight
[Outro – soft, spoken/sung]
Yeah…
No matter what…
Mama always got you…
And God got all of us…
