Clenched Fists Lyrics

Stepped into a world with two clenched fists

They can't pronounce my name because the vowels don't fit

I dropped a syllable just to make it sit pretty

I'm going to speak a language that they understand

I know I got to try to find a way to blend in

Silence is the devil in this household, family

Mama said, I won't raise you quietly

I dress up little Dolly just to have a playmate

Grateful for my books, the dinner on my plate

Counting down the days that I can finally break out of here

Hell's Kitchen queens and the indie rock bands

Dying to stay myself but I'm trying to blend in

Two clenched fists grab the mic and let freedom ring

It's just me and my tambourine

Mama Mama

Oh, she never gave up

Mama Mama

She was the queen of tough love

She lived her life on fire

But she always played it cool

Mama sure raised hell

Mama didn't raise no fool

Speeding down the highway with two clenched fists

Finally got my freedom and it feels like this

Pedal to the medal with the open road ahead of me

Eyes wide open because the world's on fire

Soldier girl fighting trying to lift it all higher

My heart's a kick drum but my soul sings a rhapsody

I wonder what Mama would say if she could see me

Mama Mama

Well, she never gave up

Mama Mama

She was the queen of tough love

She lived her life on fire

But she always played it cool

Mama sure raised hell

Mama didn't raise no fool

Mama Mama

She lived her life on fire

But always knew to play it cool

Two clenched fists and raising hell

Mama didn't raise no fool

Oooh

Yeah 


Yeah 


Yeah 


Yeah


Oooh

Ohhh

She got two clenched fists let freedom ring

She got two clenched fists and she keeps on singing

Two clenched fists get your tambourine

And just keep on keep on keep on

Two clenched fists let freedom ring

She got two clenched fists and she keeps on singing

Get your tambourine

And just keep on keep on keep on

La la la la la la la la

Mama didn't raise no fool

Whoa

Mama didn't raise no

La la la la la la la la

Mama didn't raise no fool
