Shammah, Stand Up

[Intro — Low, spoken]
Yeah…
Shammah, listen…
Ain’t nobody finna own your life no more.
Three little hearts watching you…
Andrew, Jayllo, Shekaina.
It ain’t too late, mama.
You still got a long way to go.

[Verse 1]
You been through storms that nobody could see,
Smiled for the kids while you wanted to leave,
Gave too much love, got pain in return,
Now you standing in the ashes, watching bridges burn.

First came Andrew, little man with a story,
Then Jayllo came through, little piece of glory,
Shekaina too, three blessings in your hands,
You don't need no childish dude telling you who you supposed to be, damn.

Phone full of secrets, truth came to light,
You found out he was creeping, couldn't sleep that night,
Stress on your shoulders, tears in your eyes,
But mama, don't let another man's choices bury your life.

[Pre-Chorus]
Nah, you ain't lost, you just been delayed,
Don't confuse your past with the woman you became,
You been controlled, you been dragged through pain,
Now it's time to take your power back again.

[Hook — Melodic Drill]
Shammah, stand up, wipe them tears from your face,
Three little reasons why you gotta find your way,
Andrew, Jayllo, Shekaina, they watching mama rise,
You ain't gotta live under nobody else's lies.

Move on, mama, don't look back no more,
Close that door, let the old life hit the floor,
Ain't too late, you got miles left to go,
Find yourself again, let your happiness grow.

[Verse 2]
You don't need a man just to tell you you're enough,
Don't need somebody controlling every move that you touch,
Love ain't supposed to leave your whole soul scared,
And real love don't mean somebody gets to treat you unfair.

Yeah, life got messy, things went left,
But don't let somebody else's chaos steal what's left,
You got three babies who deserve peace at home,
And a mama who deserves to finally feel whole.

Andrew told his daddy what he seen and knew,
Old emotions came back, everything blew,
But violence ain't the answer, let the fighting fade,
The real victory is building the life you should've had made.

[Bridge — Emotional]
Let him run to his village, let him stay where he at,
You ain't gotta chase nobody, you ain't gotta react,
Let the silence speak while you rebuild your name,
Sometimes losing somebody is how you find yourself again.

No more “where you going?”
No more “who you with?”
No more walking on eggshells,
No more living like this.
Mama, choose peace.
Choose love. Choose you.
Three little babies got a future depending on you.

[Hook]
Shammah, stand up, wipe them tears from your face,
Three little reasons why you gotta find your way,
Andrew, Jayllo, Shekaina, they watching mama rise,
You ain't gotta live under nobody else's lies.

Move on, mama, don't look back no more,
Close that door, let the old life hit the floor,
Ain't too late, you got miles left to go,
Find yourself again, let your happiness grow.

[Verse 3 — Harder Drill Flow]
Mama, you strong, don't forget that fact,
Life threw punches but you still came back,
Ain't nobody got the right to control your path,
If he brings chaos, leave the chaos in the past.

Three kids, three reasons, three lights in the dark,
You don't need another man just to restart,
Build your own peace, get your mind right,
Turn them dark days into your highlight.

You got dreams still waiting on you,
Got a whole new chapter that you gotta pursue,
Don't let yesterday decide what tomorrow gon' be,
The woman you're becoming is the woman you're free to be.

[Outro — Soft]
Shammah…
It's not over.
It's just a new chapter.

Andrew needs his mama.
Jayllo needs her mama.
Shekaina needs her mama.

And mama needs herself too.

So breathe.
Heal.
Walk away from the chaos.
Don't let nobody boss your life anymore.

You got a long road ahead…
But you ain't walking it alone.
Three little hearts walking beside you.
And one day you'll look back and say—
“I finally found me.”
