[Verse 1]
She clock in before the sun
Same shoes, same run
Rent due, lights on
She the one they count on
Whole day on her back
No slack, no quit
Hands worn from the grind
Still she make it fit
Phone full of “you there?”
“Can you help me out?”
She the first to answer
When they need a handout
But when her knees shake
She don’t call, she just move
Swallowing that stress
Like that’s all she can do
[Pre-Chorus]
She don’t ask, she don’t cry
Keeps it in, gets by
Everybody got her name
When they need a rescue line
[Chorus]
She do it on her own
She do it on her own
Ain’t nobody home
She do it on her own
She hold everybody up
But who gon’ hold her now? (who gon’ hold her now?)
She been strong too long
And it’s wearing her down
[Verse 2]
Late shift, early shift
Same loop, same pain
Tired in her face
Still she push through the rain
She know every favor
Every date, every plan
But when her world crack
There’s no hand in her hand
She the one who listens
Keeps secrets locked tight
Gives the last of her time
Even when her heart fight
Barely got a minute
But she still show love
Pouring from a cup
That’s been empty enough
[Pre-Chorus]
She don’t ask, she don’t cry
Keeps it in, gets by
Everybody got her name
When they need a rescue line
[Chorus]
She do it on her own
She do it on her own
Ain’t nobody home
She do it on her own
She hold everybody up
But who gon’ hold her now? (who gon’ hold her now?)
She been strong too long
And it’s wearing her down
[Bridge]
If she fell tonight
Would anybody see?
If she said “I need you”
Would they make it to her street?
She tired of the weight
Tired of being the rock (the rock)
Tired of the way
They only call when they need her lot
[Final Chorus]
She do it on her own
She do it on her own
Ain’t nobody home
She do it on her own
She hold everybody up
But who gon’ hold her now? (who gon’ hold her now?)
She been strong too long
And it’s wearing her down
She do it on her own
She do it on her own
Ain’t nobody home
She do it on her own
