Head Up Now Momma Lyrics

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Cause you can't always show just what you're feeling inside, and I know

Through all those ups and downs you laugh and you cry, but one day

You gon' be alright when all your tears have dried

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Cause you can't always show just what you're feeling inside, and I know

Those little ones they are your joy and your pride, they can't see

All the things you do but still they know that you try

I had a real good mom, and my boo, well, she gon' be a good mom too

So this song goes out to all the moms, no matter what category you belong to

Work moms, team moms, and the dance moms, bringin' snacks to track meets to chomp on

With the new fit, hat and the pompons, takin' care of Cassidys, Jaydens and Jon-Jons

Did I say Jayden? I meant Aiden, or Brayden. What's your name? Okay den

Let's go den, get your backpack, put your coat in, in the minivan just load in

But who's that there, running the show den? It ain't classified, I ain't Snowden

I spy with my right eye another mom who's bomb-dot-com you already know den

But what I know, y'all need more support, parenting is a full contact sport

And it's true for dads too, but it ain't square, too many dads ain't doin' their fair share

So it's your job to fill the crater, working full time in emotional labor

Coupon apps they help stretch the paper, praying for the rain when you only see vapor

Be encouraged... this season is gonna change, it's gonna shift, and your countenance is gonna lift

One day you'll look back with a grateful heart, when the nest is empty and you remain apart

Because you gave em all the greatest start that you could give, showing 'em just how to live

When the light bulb goes on, yo that's cool, they'll read Proverbs 31 and say that's you

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Cause you can't always show just what you're feeling inside, and I know

Through all those ups and downs you laugh and you cry, but one day

You gon' be alright when all your tears have dried

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Cause you can't always show just what you're feeling inside, and I know

Those little ones they are your joy and your pride, they can't see

All the things you do but still they know that you try

And it's not easy to savor these years when they're filled with misbehavior

Little knuckleheads, they make your neck hurt, you might need a consult from an expert

But you gotta be careful, regardless, lashing out in anger is never harmless

And the harm is they can be traumatized, nobody wanna be trouble in they momma's eyes

But if you're not strong, discipline ruptures, kids need some routines and structures

Fun times they lose their luster, parenting takes all the strength you can muster

And then some, there are days you lose, but then you win some, so get creative and

Boost your income, working hard you're bustin' your behind, eventually you'll carve out some

Free time, or me-time, what a concept, right? Watch your calendar, keep it locked down

Tight, give yourself margin and don't apologize, you're equipped and accepted in your

Father's eyes, don't believe the lie you're not qualified, keep your hugs and kind words in

Full supply, let 'em multiply, inject grace, anywhere the rules apply

And when it's hard, know you can call on God, lay it all down, put it all on

God, He's your portion and inheritance, and your source of love, faith and common sense

And if you're need hope, you're the evidence... He made You and you've been improving ever since

So if you need a reminder to be free, play this song again, put it on repeat

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Cause you can't always show just what you're feeling inside, and I know

through all those ups and downs you laugh and you cry, but one day

you gon' be alright when all your tears have dried

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Cause you can't always show just what you're feeling inside, and I know

those little ones they are your joy and your pride, they can't see

all the things you do but still they know that you try

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Head up now momma and just take it in stride

Head up now momma and just take it in stride
