Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Hey Mama lyrics
By Britnee Kellogg
It ain′t easy tryin to juggle all these feelings
Everybody around you needing
Something every second of the day
With no time left for nothing but
Cleaning up another mess
Like your gonna break
Do what you gotta do
Take a breath and find a win
Give yourself some grace
You're still the queen
You′ve always been
Hey Mama you got this
I promise you got this
Pull yourself together
It won't be this hard forever
You got the strength of a hurricane
Your a fighter in every way
Hey Mama you got this
I promise you got this
On your worst day
The reason why it works in the first place
Lunchbox, bus stop, rat race
Gettin dinner ready on time
Know it feels like you lost yourself
Along the way
Look around you should be proud
Of everything you made
Hey Mama you got this
I promise you got this
Pull yourself together
It won't be this hard forever
You have the strength of a hurricane
Your a fighter in every way
Hey Mama you got this
I promise you got this
Your beautiful
You′ve got what it takes
I see you
It′s gonna be ok
(Kids voice) Hey Mama you got this
I promise you got this
Pull yourself together
It won't be this hard forever
You got the strength of a hurricane
Your a fight in every way
Mama you got this
I promise you got this
Ooooooooo we got this
