lirik lagu sal jordan - superpowers (momma)

[verse 1]

ayo my mom has had to work two jobs biggest part of my life plus raise two kids with no man by her side
let me tell you ‘bout a woman who’s as strong as it gets named denise, born june 1966
see by her old folks she actually wasn’t meant to arrive
but she did and her daddy was a father of five
smallest kid, three brothers made her tough as a gun
streetsmart, that’s a feature that she p-ssed to her son
education pulled it through she made it out of the hood
somewhere down the line she met my father in school
they together, everything’s good everything’s fine
situation is getting all i earn, and everything’s mine
all her savings to the side got her eyes on tomorrow
ain’t the type that likes handouts and asking to borrow
then it wasn’t sorrow or no trouble, got the house
the apartment dead center of the town, look at you ma!

[refrain 1]

now that i can get a grasp of how strong you really are
the memories make sense a little more, it makes me smile
i hope you understand me and never get in denial

when i say that i do everything for you, and that i love you

i love you

[verse 2]

now she sees a bright future, is controlling over everything pops probably too, gave that motherf-cking weddingring
life goes on, ya little boy was born
then my sis, still living in a flat they were torn
needed sp-ce, ain’t no cradle in a place that was dirty
settle where it’s safe, that’s the goal after thirty
moved out the flats – house with a little garden
finally there; she now had a little garden
middle of moving in, white paint still fresh
pops said “i dont love you anymore” and he left
now your morals and pride said “f-ck a deadbeat father”
finally here, ain’t going no place smaller
the fire of injustice grew and became harmful
she gave up happiness for honour, though she was smarter
her daughter just three, son five years old
suddenly the days long and the nights turned cold

[refrain 2]

and even though i know you hurt yourself by keeping us straight
know that i’ll do anything to pay you back, just wanna say that i thank you

i thank you

[verse 3]

now you’re thrown in a spiral, you never saw it coming
i know about the times you wished you could stop running
i know about the times you said you’re a failed mother
but everyone’d respect you if they ever knew your struggle
know it’s ten times worse going on in the world
and you said that alot. but you are my world
and i saw you suffer. and i saw you down
and then get back up. and then run more miles
and you’re almost there! mom i’m almost there!
if it ain’t this year, then the next one’s there
i won’t let you down. i’mma make you proud
just the thought of that, gives me superpowers
just the thought of that, gives me superpowers
and i know that’s real; ‘cause you got superpowers!

[verse 4]

now that struggle for the money made it cloudy when it’s sunny
i get tears to my eyes when i think about what is coming
i’mma give you everything momma. and when i say everything, i mean everything

i’m not a man if you ain’t

get a house, get a car, get a horse, get a view
get a tv in every room, you ain’t never missing news
get the shoes, get the coat, get you tanning on a boat
only thing that’s on your mind is how you want to spend your time
leave those dark times behind, that depression’s gon’ be dead
man the first check i get, it’s gonna be you that counts the bread

and just the thought of that
gives me
superpowers
