Single Mother

This is a single story
For every single one
On a single planet
Under a single sun
In a single solar system
Some think it's odd
Entire galaxy created by a single god
With a single thought
And a single plan
Single earth
Fashion by a single hand
Seven continents separated from a single land
Many nations are created from a single man
A single nation taken to a single place
Where they simply aren't familiar with a single face
Yet this is not the story of a single struggle
A single symbolism
Nor a single couple
A young couple who raise a single seed
Sworn protectors of her every single need
Forming a single balance
Under a single order
From a single act of love they have a single daughter
Along the way she put her faith in a single lover
And from a single lie she became a single mother
Of a single son born to a single girl
Single home alone in the single world
Though her kids felt her single pain
With a single kiss she makes everything okay
I wrote this record in a single way
So the radio would play it every single day
I dedicate this to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of ya
If you're a single mother too
Hey lady this one's for you
Dedicated to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of ya
If you're a single mother too
Hey lady this one's for you
You were my first teacher
My first friend
Gave me my first vision
And my first glimpse
Of a bigger world
Giving me my first look
Tucked me into bed
And read my first book
And as I fell asleep
For the first time
Little did I know you were showing me my first rhyme
I wanna thank you for showing me
How to be a man and turn my pain into poetry
Break my silence
Express myself vocally
How to show the world what was once done locally
First one to take me on my quest for learning
First one to help me through life's stressful journey
And every single step I'm coming with ya
Cause I belong to a strong single mother figure
You were the first one to tell me I was something bigger
I was an emperor not just another nigga
First one to show me how I might be strong
When the days seem shorter and the nights seem long
Maybe that's the reason that I write these songs
To set the record straight and try to right these wrongs
This is the saga of a single mother
That's been provided by a single brother
I had to write it in a single way
So the radio would play it every single day
I dedicate this to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of ya
If you're a single mother too
Hey lady this one's for you
Another lonely day
Another lonely night
I dedicate this to y'all yeah it's only right
Another untold truth is now brought to light
Another lesson is learned cause you taught me right
When I lost my way and the road got lonely
Only you
You were the one who showed me
Only you
You were the one to hold me
Sometimes I feel like you're the only one who knows me
And if you gotta stay single hey
You should know this
I wrote this in a single way
The only thing I can do is pray
That the radio will play it every single day
I dedicate this to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of ya
If you're a single mother too
Hey lady this one's for you
Dedicated to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of ya
If you're a single mother too
Hey lady this one's for you
