Hook (Melodic, raw)
Dear mama, we was broke but we rich in love
Cold nights, no heat, still you gave me hugs
Corner store dinners, prayin’ over dubs
Whole hood raised me, but you raised me up
Dear mama, if I flex it’s for you, no cap
Every scar in my life got your name on that
If the streets took a shot, you was blockin’ that
Queen of steel, yeah forever, where my mama at?
Verse 1 (Ghetto stories, wholesome tone)
We was sittin’ on the steps watchin’ streetlights blink
You said “don’t let that fast life mess with how you think”
Rent late, fridge empty, but my clothes was clean
’Cause you made sure your baby still felt like a king
I was outside wild, tryna prove I was tough
You was inside prayin’ like “God, that’s enough”
Never left, never folded, never asked for a break
You was buildin’ my spine while my heart used to shake
Hook
Dear mama, we was broke but we rich in love
Cold nights, no heat, still you gave me hugs
Corner store dinners, prayin’ over dubs
Whole hood raised me, but you raised me up
Verse 2 (Drill-flavored but respectful)
Steel City winter, breath foggin’ the air
Mama said “keep your head, don’t you move off fear”
Didn’t matter if we was in Philly or Harrisburg
You still the queen of steel, yeah the crown still yours
Sirens sang us to sleep, that was part of the song
You said “learn right from wrong even when the wrong strong”
I seen kids turn demons, seen dreams turn thin
But your voice in my head kept me boxed in sin
Bridge (Wholesome pause)
If I fall, you the reason I get back up
If I eat, you eat first, I don’t act tough
I don’t need no throne, I don’t need no chain
Long as mama good, I’m already paid
Now I smile more, laugh through the pain
Buy you somethin’ nice, say “we straight”
From the bus stop days to the front row seats
I still hear your voice when I’m
droppin’ these beats
I ain’t perfect, nah, but I’m better than before
’Cause you loved me when I ain’t love myself no more
If they ask who did it, who deserve that praise
I point right at you every single day
Final Hook (Chanted, hood gospel feel)
Dear mama, we was broke but we rich in love
Cold nights, no heat, still you gave me hugs
From the steel to the world, yeah we
came from the mud
Queen of steel forever, yeah that’s my
blood
From the block to the blessings
I need you to hear me out
OoOoOOOooooOOOOO!
I NEED
YOU TO
HERE
ME OUT
MA MAAAAAAAAAAAAA
IM SORRY I COULDNT bent better
