Pave the way for your babies so they grow up tough
Aim higher even though you grew up in hard knocks
And show ya babies what it feels like when you truly are loved
And let me tell you somethin': you ain't defined by your past
They tried to judge me for it, look who gets to have the last laugh
Cause I go hard, throwin' stones surrounded by glass
Won't get you nowhere, I ain't even ashamed of my scars
I'm a proud black sista, so don't ever get it twisted
They was aiming at my downfall but they missed and turned to misfits

This song hits different. Reminds me of the times I struggled with trusting and loving myself. Thank you, Barkaa, for creating music that speaks to our struggles.
This song hits hard for all the mothers out there who have sacrificed everything for their children. As a single mom, I resonate with the raw emotion in Barkaa's lyrics. 🙏💪
