When I was a child
My mama was wild
In and out of jail
Always on trial
But I was in denial
You see, I loved my mom 
And being mad wasn’t my style
I’d walk every mile 
Make every second worthwhile
Because when she was home
Couldn’t help but smile 

You can try
To push me aside
Try to deny what you hide
But I won’t lie
I’ll be there for you 
No madder your why
Because I love you
Enough to try 
Together we’ll try

And I was never alone
Had my sisters along
From birth til we were grown
We shared the love we were shown
At times we were prone
To fight for the throne 
But at the end of the night
That’s my bone
My blood, that’s my home

You can try
To push me aside
Try to deny what you hide
But I won’t lie
I’ll be there for you 
No madder your why
Because I love you
Enough to try 
So together we’ll try 

When I got older, I learned about love
I learned about trust
What it meant to be enough 
Enough to be above
Any lust any drug
It’s then that I realized
I can’t give up
On the people that I love 
It’s not just about us
It’s about the things we don’t discuss
The things we don’t admit 
For fear of disgust
We need to help each other
Before we turn into dust

You can try
To push me aside
Try to deny what you hide
But I won’t lie
I’ll be there for you 
No madder your why
Because I love you
Enough to try 
Together we’ll try 

You can try
But I love you 
Enough to try 
You’re enough 
So let’s try
Together
