You ever look back and realize you made it through what was meant to break you
This one’s for that kid who never gave up
I’ve been through the fire but this one’s not about the pain anymore
This one’s for my family for what we survived
Mama used to chase gold dreams every promise every scheme
Thought she’d find love where the spotlight gleams but all we got were broken scenes
Daddy just nodded quiet like smoke never stood tall just watched as we broke
Brother fell first his heart took the blow his fire went out he lost his glow
Sister found peace she built her own flame carved her own world walked her own lane
And me just patchin the wounds I keep two little kids watchin while I can’t sleep
My kids see love where you saw pain
You broke the curse it ends with your name
My kids see love my kids see love
Sometimes I see her eyes in my own hear her voice when I raise my tone
The cycle whispers you’ll be the same but I learned to silence that shame
My eldest got ADHD his mind runs free a storm and a spark a soul built to be
My boo my calm my peace my song she remind me love can prove them wrong
We ain’t rich but our hearts stay fed no schemes no masks just honest bread
Yeah we lost years but I found me in the cracks of pain there’s clarity
Maybe that’s how the light gets in through all the wounds that never mend
All those nights I prayed you’d heal
Now I see the truth you feel
From the darkness you still rise
Love is written in your eyes
My kids see love where you saw pain
You broke the curse it ends with your name
My kids see love they see love yeah they see love
I know you were scared and you didn’t understand why
But you made it bro you turned the pain into something beautiful
You’re safe now and your kids will never have to live what you survived
And that’s love
