"we see you mama" lyrics
To all my beautiful mamas out there
We see you, baby
The ones who hold it together
Even when you fall apart in the dark
The ones who smile for the kids
While you silently pray for yourself
You ain't weak, you're warrior-made
And I just wanna remind you of something
You woke up tight, hard, heavy, but you still move
Packed the lunches, did the hair like you always do
You ain't cried in weeks, 'cause you ain't had time
And you ain't heard thank you in a real long time
But I see the strength in the way you try
Even when your world ain't treating you right
You carry them babies, that still carry shame
But baby, you are not the one to blame
You're a good mama, don't ever doubt it
Even when you feel forgotten or crowded
You keep pushing when no one cheers you on
Girl, you're the light when everything feels gone
So if nobody's told you today
I just wanna say, you're doing okay
You've seen your love, and you matter too
We see you, mama
We see you
You gave up your dreams to make room for theirs
And sometimes wonder if anybody cares
But look at them smile, look at how they shine
That's your love planted deep in their mind
And maybe he left, or maybe he stayed
But either way, you made a way
Wiping tears at night, hiding pain so well
But baby, who's checking on you while you hate?
You're a good mama, don't you forget
Even if the world ain't seen it yet
You keep pushing when no one cheers you on
Still fighting battles when the strength is gone
So if nobody's told you today
Let me be the one to say, you're doing okay
You've seen your love, and you matter too
We see you, mama
We see you
Sis, don't you quit, don't you fold
I know it's hard, I know it gets cold
But those babies, they're watching you rise
And your story, that's where their strength lies
Take a breath, wipe your face
And remember
You got grace
You're a good mama in every way
Even when you feel like you're not okay
You're not alone even in the fight
Your love been holding up the light
So from one woman to another, true
We see you, mama
We love you
We see you, baby
The ones who hold it together
Even when you fall apart in the dark
The ones who smile for the kids
While you silently pray for yourself
You ain't weak, you're warrior-made
And I just wanna remind you of something
You woke up tight, hard, heavy, but you still move
Packed the lunches, did the hair like you always do
You ain't cried in weeks, 'cause you ain't had time
And you ain't heard thank you in a real long time
But I see the strength in the way you try
Even when your world ain't treating you right
You carry them babies, that still carry shame
But baby, you are not the one to blame
You're a good mama, don't ever doubt it
Even when you feel forgotten or crowded
You keep pushing when no one cheers you on
Girl, you're the light when everything feels gone
So if nobody's told you today
I just wanna say, you're doing okay
You've seen your love, and you matter too
We see you, mama
We see you
You gave up your dreams to make room for theirs
And sometimes wonder if anybody cares
But look at them smile, look at how they shine
That's your love planted deep in their mind
And maybe he left, or maybe he stayed
But either way, you made a way
Wiping tears at night, hiding pain so well
But baby, who's checking on you while you hate?
You're a good mama, don't you forget
Even if the world ain't seen it yet
You keep pushing when no one cheers you on
Still fighting battles when the strength is gone
So if nobody's told you today
Let me be the one to say, you're doing okay
You've seen your love, and you matter too
We see you, mama
We see you
Sis, don't you quit, don't you fold
I know it's hard, I know it gets cold
But those babies, they're watching you rise
And your story, that's where their strength lies
Take a breath, wipe your face

You got grace
You're a good mama in every way
Even when you feel like you're not okay
You're not alone even in the fight
Your love been holding up the light
So from one woman to another, true
We see you, mama
We love you
