Face Valyou - Ironmother lyrics

[Verse 1: Face Valyou] (This is for you, mama earth) For starters, you don't stop (don't stop), go the extra mile All the while, stepping with style Above everything, you put your kids first And stick it out, even when limbs hurt Whether a teacher, a nurse, a judge, you work at McDonald's? Know it or not, you're a model Compare to any gospel they quote Character is stand-up and that's not a joke Take a honest approach, haven't lost hope Rock the vote, friends with all kind'a folk Helping strangers, got the guts, the selfless nature The drive to climb to the top, like an elevator And even if you could, you can't complain More so the type to moondance in the rain And go green when it's dinnertime So keep, keep on, I'll see you at the finish-line [Chorus: Mohamed Bhana] Thank you mother, for all you've done You've been here with me, keeping me strong For a long, long time Helping me grow, into the man I am You're my ironmother, iron [Verse 2: Face Valyou] Compete against yourself, see who's been the furthest Dig gardens to keep the kids nourished, heart's always in service Greet mountains with courage, like, "S'up yo" Know how to stretch a dollar when the funds' low Or live off the land, adjust and alter plans Do all you can, and stay calm in a jam Other women worry you're the bomb, like Iran Shape a world in the palm of your hands, tougher than the strongest man But I hate to see you carry stress So let it go in the air of a breath And sacrifice is the example you set When you walk, you got a champion's step No matter the pain you swim through The chaos, the issues, if anyone can do this it's you Create a feast from what you find in the dumpster A fighter, a lover, woman of steel with a heart of gold, you're an ironmother [Chorus 2: Mohamed Bhana] Thank you mother, for all you've done You've been here with me, keeping me strong For a long, long time Helping me grow, into the man I am You're my ironmother, iron You don't, give up Not ever There's nothing that can stop you Nothing you can't break through You're my, ironmother [Ba** Solo: Brad Taylor]
