Mama laid me to sleep
When I was a little girl
Trying to make ends meet
She gave me the whole world

Those days are gone
Love that lingers on
I swear to you
I swear to you

I ain't letting go
She made me what I know
I ain't letting go
She made me

No matter of fact our rages
No matter the storms I see
No matter the blood hardly
When I scrape these things
Oh, I will stand
I will stand

As I awake
The blood of man in my veins
As are we the same
Your history reflected in my face

I know
I know this love won't give up on me, no
Won't give up on me, no

I ain't letting go
She made me what I know
I ain't letting go
She made me

No matter of fact our rages
No matter the storms I see
No matter the blood hardly
When I scrape these things
Oh, I will stand
I will stand

I will stand
I will stand
I will stand
