Verse 1:
My mama, she raised me good
Did all a good mama could
So my heart grew strong
And my temperament stubborn
So I could be the last survivor
Said girl grow up and be strong
Cause the man’s gonna try to tell you, you’re wrong
And they’ll cut your legs if they think they can
They’ll cut your legs another penny in their can
Pre-Chorus: But don’t you lose sight
Chorus:
Cause all they want are your pretty eyes
No words, just compromise
The glass feels so far out of reach
But it’s gonna break, it’s gonna crack, it’s gonna shatter
When it sees me
Verse 2:
My mama she raised me good
Did all a good mama should
Said girl put your foot down and be heard
Cause the quicksand is waiting for you, little bird
And the road to the top, ain’t all that pretty
It’s dusty, it’s windy and it gets gritty
And they’ll cut your legs if they think they can
They’ll cut your legs another penny in their can
