I know you're tired I can see it in your eyes
I'm working so damn hard just tryna set things right
You keep breaking your back for me
Not sure if you know what it means to me
Then no matter the cost you keep breaking your back for me
I know we'll turn the tables soon
I'll lead the way enjoy the view
Breaking my back for you
Breaking my back for you
Won't forget all the little things you did
I know it's hard to play till pause but you follow through
Single mom to drive straight kids
Didn't have much but at least we had a chance to
Follow your lead and never focused on you once
only when I had needs
You even quit your job to teach me to read
All of my teachers told you that you would never succeed
Look at me now
I threw myself in the fire
And I make a living off the words you inspired
You keep breaking your back for me
Not sure if you know what it means to me
Then no matter the cost you keep breaking your back for me
I know we'll turn the tables soon
I'll lead the way enjoy the view
Breaking my back for you
So let me tell you about a lady
Hispanic girl from the west side neighbourhood in Chicago
Started working for AT&T
Climbing telephone poles when she was eighteen
At the time mental yeah she was crazy
They didn't even have a women's restroom for her till the eighties
Way before they gave equal pay
Working twice a hard just to see a raise
Always raising babies at nine to five now kinda tired
Coming home and struggling to open her eyelids
But still she got to cook diner for five kids
I'm talking about the strongest woman I know
That is my mother the vibrant most amazing lady alive
I'm telling you mom you'll never have to grind again
Cause I promise I got y'a
We about to prosper
Starting from the bottom but now nobody can stop us
I know you're tired I can see it in your eyes
I'm working so damn hard just tryna set things right
You keep breaking your back for me
Not sure if you know what it means to me
Then no matter the cost you keep breaking your back for me
I know we'll turn the tables soon
I'll lead the way enjoy the view
Breaking my back for you
I'm working so damn hard just tryna set things right
You keep breaking your back for me
Not sure if you know what it means to me
Then no matter the cost you keep breaking your back for me
I know we'll turn the tables soon
I'll lead the way enjoy the view
Breaking my back for you
Breaking my back for you
Won't forget all the little things you did
I know it's hard to play till pause but you follow through
Single mom to drive straight kids
Didn't have much but at least we had a chance to
Follow your lead and never focused on you once
only when I had needs
You even quit your job to teach me to read
All of my teachers told you that you would never succeed
Look at me now
I threw myself in the fire
And I make a living off the words you inspired
You keep breaking your back for me
Not sure if you know what it means to me
Then no matter the cost you keep breaking your back for me
I know we'll turn the tables soon
I'll lead the way enjoy the view
