Steady

Now I know I'm grown 'cause I'm all alone Don't got no one to call to drive me home 'Cause I'm home, my babes are in bed Honey gonna sleep it off when he's dead I do it for them, I do it all 'cause I can Now we sit on the stoop and we look ahead, "Hey boy" Baby you'll follow, maybe you could lead 'em like the rest Now we're blowing bubbles and chasing birds Singing so sweet and laughing into the world Baby make me better before I break you under my Back in the day momma held me steady Steady Back in the day momma held me steady I don't feel that steady Back in the day momma held me steady Steady Back in the day momma It's hard to see how living is easy The higher you fly, the harder you fall You won't always feel this way One day you're dead and what more can I say It's hard to see how living is easy Then I'd take a moment to see myself, "Hey girl" It wasn't even a mirror But some quote left high up on a shelf Telling me I'm cruel and weak as hell I can't control you or myself Sorry's getting old, it's getting stale, don't do me well Back in the day momma held me steady Steady Back in the day momma held me steady I don't feel that steady Back in the day momma held me steady Steady Back in the day momma I don't feel that steady Back in the day momma held me steady
