letra de the women that raised me - j-r3mi

[hook]
this is a shoutout to the women that i love
the women that raised me when i was growin’ up
to all of my tías and my grandma ma
and of course to my mother, the one above all. (uh, yeah, uh)
(look)

[verse 1]
let me start with the one that gave birth to them all:
my grandma is a miracle-worker, a gift from god
i don’t know how she raised all of them to become
such lovin’ individuals that share what they got
with each other. so tight-knit
i write this knowin’ that i might just
strike a nerve that’s so righteous
‘cause she raised five children amongst
the angst of the frightenin’
truth of what happened to a man
that got too attached to a bottle

[bridge]
so in addition to raisin’ kids, she took care of her husband, got him through rehab
and she often babysat her babies’ babies
what a wonderful lady

this is a shoutout to the women that i love

and of course to my mother, the one above all. (uh, yeah, uh)

[verse 2]
esperanza, nadine is the one who answers
the call of duty. a paramedic then cop
on the scenes of crimes
she’s so wise with time under her belt
she gives advice to her sisters and felt
every punch and emotion that was dealt
in a house of seven. man, i’m sure it was h-ll. but she made it through and brought my momma out too
she does so much for the family, and i thank her for doin’

[bridge]
mom, i just wanna let you know that i love you. and you are always appreciated. by me, by marilyn, by mellanie, and all of your sisters

[verse 3]
tía jenny, i remember i would go to her house
in the summer time for day camp at piotrowski park
we all had our own plates and then we’d take them out
that was a good time that i’m missing now
and tía lorraine would take us to the museum
of science and industry and the children’s to be on
brain games that were fun
and now i save them in my memory;
i’ll cherish them ‘til they’re fadin’
