๐ Lyrics
Lord, I swear my mama's prayers saved me more than once
Sky could fall, I'd never know 'cause she would hold it up
Losing sleep, each breath she breathed, she did it all for us
But what happens to mama when the kids grow up?
There's something in the water between a mother and a daughter
No matter where I'm going, I'm never leaving you
You gave me your light now it's your time to shine
And the more that I'm growing, you don't know what to do
So don't you cry, mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose, no
You're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it
Can't believe just 23, with a kid of your own
And all the years, the love, the tears, it's all you've ever known
Selfish ain't a word that ever fit you well
But now it's your turn to go and give 'em hell
Oh, there's something in the water between a mother and a daughter
No matter where I'm going, I'm never leaving you
You gave me your light, now it's your time to shine
And the more that I'm growing, you don't know what to do
So don't you cry, mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose, no
You're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it
Every mountain I've climbed
Was a mountain you moved
No doubt in my mind
I'm me because of you
There's nothing you can't do
So don't you cry, mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose, no
You're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it
Lord, I swear my mama's prayers saved me more than once
Sky could fall, I'd never know 'cause she would hold it up
Losing sleep, each breath she breathed, she did it all for us
But what happens to mama when the kids grow up?
There's something in the water between a mother and a daughter
No matter where I'm going, I'm never leaving you
You gave me your light now it's your time to shine
And the more that I'm growing, you don't know what to do
So don't you cry, mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose, no
You're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it
Can't believe just 23, with a kid of your own
And all the years, the love, the tears, it's all you've ever known
Selfish ain't a word that ever fit you well
But now it's your turn to go and give 'em hell
Oh, there's something in the water between a mother and a daughter
No matter where I'm going, I'm never leaving you
You gave me your light, now it's your time to shine
And the more that I'm growing, you don't know what to do
So don't you cry, mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose, no
You're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it
Every mountain I've climbed
Was a mountain you moved
No doubt in my mind
I'm me because of you
There's nothing you can't do
So don't you cry, mama
This is a good problem
Your past ain't your purpose, no
You're only scratching the surface
Oh, and you deserve it
Lord, I swear my mama's prayers saved me more than once
