lyrics

Chorus: Take it from one who knows
Take it from one who’s seen
Take it from one who’s grown, take it
From me, from me, from me, from me, from me
Verse 1: 8 years old
Fixing her stockings before mama got home
Miscalculated, blade took a hit to her fate
Thicker than water
Tears rolling down to her shoulder
Guilt and shame
Vicious cycle to refrain
Grew up fast
To smoking half a pack
Nowhere to fall back
Chorus

Verse 2: Mother of two
No one cares like you do
How many more
Trips on trips to the grocery store
Two lives you wish you had
Spare hands, how many hats
Time and time again
Stuck in line in the fast lane
Worries made her ill
No way to weather the guilt
But let the clock tick

Chorus

Verse 3: Might be late to the party
But I’ve been breaking rules since elementary
Dreaming something new with the old
A recycled type of gold
Generations of example
Watching over me
Helping me break free

Chorus

Outro Jam
