lyrics

Sheʼs got mouths to feed and ainʼt much she needs
Except for a strong loving man
Sheʼs got bills to pay/ Sheʼs makinʼ her way
Sheʼs never asked anyone for a hand
She donʼt need hand outs/ I said sheʼs makinʼ her way
Even her beans donʼt burn on the grill
If this woman canʼt make in this city
Iʼm not that sure that anyone will
She has to study the streets just to compete
In her ʻhood they hollering ghetto
The voices of despair are so loud
Sometimes itʼs like the city life wonʼt let go
From the get go born into tenements
Her borough is sometimes like a cage
She tries to make these boys to men
While some drown in their own rage
Chorus
Ella es una mujer fuerte para sobrevivir
No nesecita para alante para salir
Menos un hombre que la quiera compartir
Ella es bien fuerte para vivir
Now tonight itʼs leftovers for dinner
And tomorrow itʼs leftover leftovers
Sometimes sheʼd get no dinner
Grown up now and made herself the bread winner
She loves her mother but feels she deserves better
Gonna make if this city will let her
If it doesnʼt sheʼll make it anyway
Donʼt wanna be a beast of burden
Donʼt want no more hurtinʼ
Excuses and layoff s donʼt feed these babies
Sheʼs gotta get by someway somehow
Sheʼs all grown up and older
So sheʼs bringing home the bacon now
So continue to build on your daydreams
ʻTil everything is all right and hemmed at the seams
You gonna make it/ All good folk do
So kick off your shoes and live this thing
