Yes I had a dad
but a woman taught
me how to be a man
At the age of 6
my parents split
I was left
there fatherless
Mom’s heart
would never heal
from it She traded her
life for her kids
Ohhhhhhhhh She would cry
while we would sleep
Ohhhhhhhhh And never
showed us she was weak
A broken home is like broken bones
It’s never whole when left alone
But she was there to gather all
the pieces And she would never
find another But we always had
each other There’s no one
tougher than a single mother
A single mother working twice
as hard Just to give her kids a
better life she took so many jobs
Work a 9 to 5 then 5 to 9 never
took a day off Never had no help
but there ain’t shit that she afraid
of Yeah she had a hole in her heart
but kept a smile on her face Pulled
me close every time I tried to just
run away She let her own dreams
die just to see mine live
Struggling inside but never showed
it to her kids well I know
Ohhhhhhhhh She would cry
while we would sleep
Ohhhhhhhhh And never
showed us she was weak
A broken home is like broken bones
It’s never whole when left alone
But she was there to gather all
the pieces And she would never
find another But we always had
each other There’s no one
tougher than a single mother
She would cry
while we would sleep
And never showed
us she was weak
A broken home is like broken bones
It’s never whole when left alone
But she was there to gather all
the pieces And she would never
find another But we always had
each other There’s no one
tougher than a single mother
To all the single
