Track No: 09

You remind me of my mother's greatest fear, mmm
Gave her life for my protection
Through the years, from my tears
Then you came along and tore it down
With your deception, you let me drown
And all the tears my mother saved hit me like a wave, mmm
Let's go, bitch
Oh, beware the woman scorned
She would move a mountain for me
Cross the driest desert for her child
Like a hurricane, her pain would rip the roots out from the ground, oh
Sing for me
What you holding onto?
Momma's coming for you
Keep your head up, baby
I will hold you steady
And, oh, it hit me like a wave
I have been betrayed
Sing for me, girl
Baby, I know he cut you bad
You can run away, save what you had
Maybe there's a world where you can let him stay
Boys stay boys, but men can change, yeah
Keep the sunshine on your face
This is real life god knows love ain't perfect
God knows love ain't perfect, trust me, mother
Mother, I don't know where to start
If I stay, will he break my heart?
Maybe there's still time to explain
But I'm too tied up in my pain now
Start to sweat, it's hard to breathe
I cry for help, could you get here any faster?
Any faster
Sing for me
What you holding onto? (Sing for me)
Momma's coming for you (Momma's coming)
Keep your head up, baby (Keep my head)
I will hold you steady (Hold me steady)
What you holding onto? (I'm so heavy, mother)
Momma's coming for you (Hold me steady)
Keep your head up, baby (Oh, whoa)
I will hold you steady
And, oh, it hit me like a wave
I have been betrayed, mmm
I need your protection, I need your protection, you (You have my protection, you have my protection)
Come on, give me your protection (You have my protection)
I need your protection (You have my protection)
You, you
