Mom
Lemme tell you a bit about my mom
She's stronger than a bomb
Sometimes I wonder where she's from, cause it's not here
It's clear she's more than human
She's everything except stupid
When she says that it breaks me because what would that make me?
Lately we've been together, you know strengthening that tether
So nothing can sever it
She's my mom we had that bond since my birth
Nothing can replace her even when she leaves this earth
I say that with more than a smirk
It's a full smile, cause I'm proud to say out loud that I'm her child
Like a clock she's working nonstop
Whether it's with a mop or something at the shop she really does a lot
I'm tryna figure out what makes her tick
So many gears she's intricate
If something needs to be done she'll finish it
She isn't just part of a chain, she's the one linking it
She holds it down, holds my family together
I don't know anyone who can do much better
This isn't a love letter, just something to let her find motivation to keep going
Don't give up, keep going
Keep showing your worth
Not afraid to get dirt on your shirt
Also looks good in a skirt
On the inside she'll hurt but will never show it
Evergreen she'll never spoil
Evergreen she don't need oil
She can make my blood boil and I do the same
But who can you blame
It's just who we are
My mom issa star
She made me who I am, you just won't understand the lengths she'll go to, it's very far
Talk about the extra mile she'll do one hundred
She'll even swim against the current
Just one to go with the flow? No she won't follow it
She's sweeter than chocolate
Like a defender, anything coming my way she'll block it
Yeah that's right she'll do anything to stop it
She's what drives me but doesn't sit in a cockpit
She'll set me off like a rocket
So it's time for me to take my hands out of my pocket and hold her, hug her
In a nutshell that's my mother
And I love her
