Imani - Single Mothers lyrics

[Intro: C-Rayz Walz] Mellie, Rashida, Latoya, Teresa, Bathsheba, Takia, Mia and Nik [Hook: C-Rayz Walz and (Beba, Fatimah, Imani, Krystal, Rachelle, and Shani)] To all the single mothers, (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here, (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming. (We'll give the world to you) To all the single mothers, (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here, (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming. (We're gonna give the world to you) [Verse 1: C-Rayz Walz] It takes a strong mother to make a child special You ain't sneeze, but indeed, ma, God bless you It's trife—life stress could test your vessel You made from the best stuff on Earth like breast milk Deep in your shell, you need cheese like manicotti Without a male hottie groping all over your body Pamper yourself with oils and bubble baths Let Calgon take you away from the troubled path You ain't got a man? Do the math with the man in you Love yourself, instead of these male animals It's true. Stop looking, you'll receive what you need Pay the bills and build—you got seeds to feed Blessed is the mother when the man leave her So take a breather. You ain't a hoe, b**h, or a skeezer You Queen Nefertiti and Zinga and Sheeba So keep a strong mind and stay focused ‘cause we need ya [Hook: C-Rayz Walz and (Beba, Fatimah, Imani, Krystal, Rachelle, and Shani)] To all the single mothers, (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here, (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming. (We'll give the world to you) To all the single mothers, (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here, (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming. (We're gonna give the world to you) [Verse 2: C-Rayz Walz] Caught between, school, job, babysitter Thinking 'bout your baby father like, "That crazy..." Wait, it's a small world. It belongs to the kids What goes around comes around—pretend he's doing a bid Have love in your heart, keep food in the fridge Fruits and vegetables—health is wealth—eat to live Whether you m**m, Jewish, Buddha, or Christian This for every woman standing solo in the kitchen Over hot pots cooking and the kids won't listen Nobody holding you down and you feel like flipping We know life ain't easy when you alone working hard But it's worth it—you got the perfect job Teaching the babies. Motherhood's a mystery force Force your positive thoughts to change history's course Of course you think he ain't doing nothing for you Not true, boo. He gave the world to you [Hook: C-Rayz Walz and (Beba, Fatimah, Imani, Krystal, Rachelle, and Shani)] To all the single mothers, (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here, (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming. (We'll give the world to you) To all the single mothers, (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here, (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming. (We're gonna give the world to you) [Bridge 1: Beba, C-Rayz Walz, Fatimah, Imani, Krystal, Rachelle, and Shani] Mama loves us when no one cares Thinking of us, mom was always there Papa's maybe mama's baby Protect and raise me. The world is crazy [Verse 3: C-Rayz Walz] For all the long hours and the sleepless nights Your strong power and the needless fights You a trooper to make it this far Yo, it's 10 o'clock and you know where your children are Sh-sheets on the bed, roof over your head Sh-shoes on the feet, s-seasonal threads Congratulation on the nation you saving Kids make it ‘cause of your hard work and dedication For your love, discipline, and sacrifice You won't have no beef in the afterlife It'll be a great ending (Yup) thanks to a good start (Aw man) Life's a movie and guess who missed the good part? [Hook: C-Rayz Walz and (Beba, Fatimah, Imani, Krystal, Rachelle, and Shani)] To all the single mothers, (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here, (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming. (We'll give the world to you) To all the single mothers, (Keep a strong mind, stay focused) Even though daddy ain't here, (We know you love us) That's why I dedicate this song to you Brighter days are coming. (We're gonna give the world to you) [Bridge 2: C-Rayz Walz] Gagna, [Shumba?], Tina, and Kim Siobhan, Titi, Melissa, and them Mommy, mama Valerie along with Shontique Free the honey [?], keep your head up. Peace [Bridge 3: C-Rayz Walz and (Beba, Fatimah, Imani, Krystal, Rachelle, and Shani)] (x3) To all the single mothers (To all the single mothers) [Outro: Beba, Fatimah, Imani, Krystal, Rachelle, and Shani] We're stars and we know we will... Are we done? We all done. We all done. We all done. Oh oh! Oh, oh, let me break a freestyle. You know I gotta break my freestyle
