Single Parents Lyrics

This is BFK

And this is a letter to all,

Of the parents out there

Who feel alone

Like you do it on your own

This for you

Single Parents are the strongest people I know

They learned how to cope, most of em made it

Couldn't even vote

So you telling me you couldn't wait

Until they graduated

No caps and gowns

Ain't never hear the wedding sounds

I appreciate the single parents

Because from your appearance

You overcame a menace now it take a couple minutes

Already got the kids dressed, straight bossin

You gotta be exhausted, yet people think you lost it

The story gonna always start out fine

Then they find 'em lyin', this what finalize their lives

It's hardly ever seen in the beginning

It was big rings and wedding scenes

Guess they'll never see the Honeymoon

Then the story gets messy

The load starts getting heavy

Baby showers transform

Turning into battlefields

Explode on contact

Leaving scars that never heal

In a relationship you gotta learn the speed limit

Don't crash and burn

You'll turn love to hate

Make it your passion, Make it your pleasure

Of seeing your seeds succeed

And end up better

No one saw Brenda going through it,

She couldn't do it

Out in the cold, had her son at her waist

Got kicked out of her place, feeling helpless

Thinking she will never replace

Feeling love when she had a taste

Single Parents are the strongest people I know

They learned how to cope, most of em made it

Couldn't even vote

So you telling me you couldn't wait

Until they graduated

No caps and gowns

Ain't never hear the wedding sounds

I appreciate the single parents

Because from your appearance

You overcame a menace now it take a couple minutes

Already got the kids dressed, straight bossin

You gotta be exhausted, yet people think you lost it

Now that they broke up, she broken inside

The bridge they built won't hold the ride

Now she gotta find another crib, another place to stay

This when she needs support in a major way

At first she lost her balance now she on feet

But Brenda Superwoman she can't admit defeat

That's til she hears word on the street

That Terrance at the Walmart hanging with his new boo

Dude been dodge payments never seen his child

Brenda went wild like flippin' out was a style

Judge verdict, a restraining order

She borderline mad, then time just fly past

Single Parents are the strongest people I know

They learned how to cope, most of em made it

Couldn't even vote

So you telling me you couldn't wait

Until they graduated

No caps and gowns

Ain't never hear the wedding sounds

I appreciate the single parents

Because from your appearance

You overcame a menace now it take a couple minutes

Already got the kids dressed, straight bossin

You gotta be exhausted, yet people think you lost it

Hearing 'bout deadbeats is a battered subject

Let's see how their kid turned out

Michael never had a silver spoon to eat with

But he had many money routes

Brenda did good for herself

She still raised a man

To stand on ten toes, you better always have a plan

A thing 'bout Michael though

Tears would always flow,

Never truly knowing who his father was

One day he got a random text

It was from Terrance, why dude coming starting mess

Brenda saw it got made, snatched the phone and replied

Don't decide to be here now, not letting it slide

Single Parents are the strongest people I know

They learned how to cope, most of em made it

Couldn't even vote

So you telling me you couldn't wait

Until they graduated

No caps and gowns

Ain't never hear the wedding sounds

I appreciate the single parents

Because from your appearance

You overcame a menace now it take a couple minutes

Already got the kids dressed, straight bossin

You gotta be exhausted, yet people think you lost it
