[Pre-Chorus: Atlus]
I know you're tired (You're tired)
I can see it in your eyes (In your eyes)
I'm working so damn hard
Just tryna set things right
[Chorus: Atlus]
You keep breaking your back for me
Not sure if you know what it means to me (To me)
That no matter the cost, you keep breaking your back for me
I know we'll turn the tables soon
I'll lead the way, enjoy the view
Breaking my back for you
[Verse 1: Atlus]
Breaking my back for you
Won't forget all the little things you did
And I know it's hard to
Play two parts but you're falling through
Single mom, two jobs, three kids
Didn't have much but at least we had a chance to
Follow your lead
Never focus on your wants, only on our needs
You evеn quit your job to teach me to read
All of my tеachers told you "She will never succeed"
Look at me now, I threw myself in the fire
Now making a living off the words you inspired
[Chorus: Atlus]
You keep breaking your back for me
Not sure if you know what it means to me (To me)
That no matter the cost, you keep breaking your back for me
I know we'll turn the tables soon
I'll lead the way, enjoy the view
Breaking my back for you
[Verse 2: GAWNE]
So let me tell you a story about a lady
Hispanic girl from the west side neighbor-
Hood in Chicago, started working for AT&T
Climbing telephone poles when she was eighteen
At that time, men told her that she was crazy
They didn't even have a woman's restroom for her 'till the '80s
Way before they gave equal pay working twice as hard just to see a raise
Oh, our raising babies that nine-to-five now got her tired
Coming home and struggling to open up eyelids
But still she gotta go and cooked dinner for five kids
I'm talking about the strongest woman I know
That is my mother, the vibrant, most amazing lady alive
I'm telling you, mom, you'll never have to grind again
'Cause I promise I got you
We're about to prosper
Starting from the bottom, but now nobody can stop us (Stop us)
[Pre-Chorus: Atlus]
I know you're tired (You're tired)
I can see it in your eyes (In your eyes)
I'm working so damn hard
Just tryna set things right
[Chorus: Atlus]
You keep breaking your back for me
Not sure if you know what it means to me (To me)
That no matter the cost, you keep breaking your back for me
I know we'll turn the tables soon
I'll lead the way, enjoy the view
Breaking my back for you
