Perspective of a Single Mom
[Intro]
Put that on pause, ohh you're not alone
[Chorus]
I’m not alone if, if I have you
I'm your momma and your dad, too
And we’re both stuck like tattoos
You're a bastard and I love you
[Bridge]
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone. Child
You're not alone
[verse]
You're the reason why I do not end it all
I woke up thinking that I couldn’t do it alone
And half an hour later, there I was up inside my home
(yuh)
I thought it was going to be great having a family
But family means that no ones left behind it
But this time, (yuh) yeah someones left behind
And that’s your fucking child mother fucker
Don’t let me be the dad and mother
Get that you don’t like me!
Why my baby gotta suffer?
(yuh)
[Chorus]
No, not alone
You're not alone if, if I have you
I'm your momma and your dad, too
And we’re both stuck like tattoos
You're not alone if I have you
You're a bastard and I love you
[Bridge]
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
Oh, not alone
[verse]
Walk out that door
Like it means nothing to you
I know you're good at that "leaving"
Mother fucker, why don't you stay?
Show nothing but disrespect
Several sleepless nights i get
With my baby by my side
And I low-key want to die
Nothing but these tears are left
Always at work never slept
Can't believe I have survived
Recognition, you won't get
Working my ass off for 3 weeks after my son was born
When I wasn’t supposed to do so
My boss didn’t schedule me so
I was curious
On how I was gonna feed my baby boy
So delirious
I made it work out, some how
And i even bought him his toys
I'm hiding all my sadness for this baby aye
Giving positive attention
While-
While inside this crazy brain
Crying from post par-tum depression
Feeling like I couldn’t do it but I knew I could if i
Put my mind to it looking at the screaming baby not
Knowing what to do
I tried everything!
I felt like the biggest failure
But he finally stopped crying
When i gave the baby
His paraphernalia
[Bridge]
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
[Chorus]
Not alone if I have you
I'm your momma and your dad, too
And we’re both stuck like tattoos
Not alone if, if I have you
Lone
[Verse]
When I saw that first smiled, it was so beautiful
I could never forget it!
Made me realize that:
I could do anything
I don’t got to die to be a legend
All his little stories that he tells me when he babbles
The way he lookin' at me
Like I’m his whole world
And nothing else just matters
And all the hair pulling and spit ups
Growing like a weed making me feel like I'm dealer
Growing like a weed making me feel like I'm a super mom
Raising this child has been the biggest challenge I’ve ever got
And all I know he might not be able just to talk
But If he could he’d tell me that:
I’m doing a good job as a mom
Yeah, yeah
