My momma raised me to pray.
My momma raised me to be kind.
My momma said never let my morals stray.
My momma said never let a smile blind.
My momma raised not a fool.
My momma raised a woman not a lady.
My momma sent me to school.
My momma raised me to hit back at Sadie.
My momma raised me to chase dreams.
My momma raised me to love.
My momma said never pull thread at the streams.
My momma didn't raise a little dove.
My momma raised me to be a woman,
and never will my dreams be torn by a man.
