I don't know why, but this song made me write this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qocG8v1rTocAnd think of the struggles some of my lady friends have, the cancer woman, my childhood friend, all single moms and with lots of life scars, and my former Sex friend who's been married and now struggling to live on her own... yeah, I still think about her...
I'm sometimes amazed with the things I write, this one being the case.
---------------------------------------
You’ve got no rest, you’ve got no choice
You make a stand to make a living on your own
Oh workin’ mama, don’t ever stay mild
Cause everybody haunts you, on this mean old world
You had a husband, you had a man
But he mistreats you and hits you on the womb
Oh workin’ mama, don’t ever stay mild
Cause everybody hurts you, on this mean old world
You raise a daughter, you raise a son
And a cat that’s your partner to watch the silver moon
Oh workin’ mama, don’t ever stay mild
Cause everybody loathes you, on this mean old world
You fight the police, you call up the fools
You’re tired of being the baby with the city’s rules
Oh workin’ mama, don’t ever stay mild
Cause everybody plays you, on this mean old world
[Female Singing]
They call me a tomboy, they call me a ****
They tell me to behave, Ain’t gonna pass on that
Cause I’m a workin’ Mama, And I’ll be on my own
Nobody will stop me, in this mean old world
