[Verse]
Dm
My mama told me when I was young
Bm
I was as good as, as everyone
Dm
Inside my heart I, I carried her word
Bm
Like a treasure until I heard (You gotta work, work)
Dm
And then she told me being a girl
Bm
It isn’t pretty, lipstick and curls
Dm
Inside my heart I took what she said
Bm
But still these voices inside my head
Dm
Saying “You gotta work harder than them all
Bm
You gotta be much smarter than (smarter than)
Dm
And when you find, find something that you want
Bm
You gotta work hard, harder than, harder than them all”
