Great Depression came to stayed like a bad dream,
Little girl was raised deep the south
Separation was the start of a lifelong jealousy,
They go outta their way so you feel like the black sheep

Relationships turned quick inta babies,
A good honest man’s so hard to find;
Work so hard to provide set aside all your own dreams,
Watch them grow to leave home brings tears, and your worries,

And so you…

Get no sleep, then get up, kids to school, have to rush, go to work, ride the bus…
Ain’t no time, for your needs, what you’re paid barely feeds
You’re so tired, of his fuss; and the pain that he leaves us

Livin’ life tryin’ not to repeat all the old ways
Little birds in pigtails, watch them fail and leave bread trails
Subjection was the start of a lifelong melody,
Men with dreams and no will to succeed IT'S THE SAME THEME, and so you…

Get no sleep, then get up, kids to school, have to rush
Go to work, ride the bus,
Ain’t no time, for your needs, what you’re paid barely feeds
You’re so tired, of his fuss; and the pain that he leaves us

Ain't nobody gonna make ya sad, what we do ain’t meant ‘ta make ya mad;
When you're with me
Ain’t Nobody’s gonna hurt ya bad, if they do then they'll regret they had
Cuz you’re my love

All the women in my life, who’ve suffered, this one’s especially for you.

After all of the things that you’ve had to go through
You survived and you thrive like no one thought you would do
Connection is a part of a lifelong certainty
Our bond that you forged through hard work and no guarantees,

Because you..

Got no sleep, then got up, us to school, had to rush
Went to work, rode the bus [uh-huh]
Took no time, for your needs, what they paid barely feeds
Turned away from his fuss; and your love never left us

Ain’t nobody gonna make ya sad, what we do ain’t meant ‘ta make ya mad;
When you're with me,
Ain’t Nobody gonna hurt ya bad, if they do then they'll regret they had
Cuz you’re my love

Ain't nobody gonna make ya sad, what we do ain’t meant ‘ta make ya mad;
When you're [I know] with me [I know they hurt you]
Ain’t nobody gonna hurt ya bad, if they do then they'll regret they had
Cuz you’re [I will] my love

I know. I know they hurt you [uh huh]
I will, always protect you [uh huh]
I know. I will
I know. I will
I know. I will
