My Tough Love

What my momma told me is to always move ahead
Every three years you go through a change
Tomorrow you could be dead
Live happy, breath healthy
Everything is okay
Don't stress about love
Your man will come around some day

Follow your footsteps
Listen to what I say
You might not see it now, but you will thank me some day
Be strong and be wise, you only have one chance
Tough love is real love, not a song and dance

I've listened to my momma
She's brought me here today
Through love and war, she made me a soldier... I must say

She looked me in the eyes
Like she was looking into my future
I saw a colour in her eyes and it glowed with pride
Ready to start my adult world and go for the ride

Through thick and thin
I will never forget who I am rooted from
Sometime too much to handle
But without her, I would never win
