Hook)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Otro, Otro, uh
Mmm, mmm, uh, mmm, yeah-yeah
(Verse)
Mama on the block, she don’t sleep (nah)
Counting up the change, ’cause the rent ain’t cheap (count, count)
Broken heart, heels cracked, still she move sleek
Smile on her face, hiding pain so deep
Groceries in hand, every bag ten pounds
Shorty on her hip, world spinnin’ around
Moonlight whispers, prayers with no sound
Dreams on layaway, hope never drown
(Pre chorus)
Whippin’ that cart, food stamps in her sleeve
Neighbors all judging, Otro don’t believe
Diamonds in her eyes, but her tears won’t leave
Lonely in the struggle, what a girl gon’ achieve?
(Hook)
Yeah, Otro know, Otro see
Single mama grindin’ just to let her baby eat
Yeah, Otro know, Otro see
Big dreams in the ghetto, that’s the legacy
(Verse)
Bills on the counter, stress in the air
Pockets real light, but she don’t despair
Running through the rain, lint tangled in her hair
Every single night, whisperin’ a prayer
Dollar in a jar, tryna make it last
Past full of shadows, future movin’ fast
No one to call, so she build her own path
Otro in the mirror, I see the struggle in the glass
(Bridge)
“Mom, why we hungry?” Tears on the floor
Otro hear the silence, Otro want more
Ramen in the kitchen, wishes in the drawer
Love in her voice, rich in her core
(Hook)
Yeah, Otro know, Otro see
Single mama grindin’ just to let her baby eat
Yeah, Otro know, Otro see
Big dreams in the ghetto, that’s the legacy
(Outro)
Yo, Otro mumble for the mamas on the block (yeah)
Every pain, every gain, every tick of the clock
Otro see you, Otro feel you, Otro never stop
From the struggle to the summit, Otro rise to the top
Yeah-yeah, Otro, Otro
Moms up, never drop
Porque music!
Porque music!
