about

Written as a warm up non competing song for Spintunes after a year of few musical challenges. Let's hope 2021 is better!
I can't believe you challenged me to a rap, Dave...

lyrics

You’re Amazing Rap
JoAnn Abbott and Liz Hancock

Jo
You’re up at dawn, most days before the sun
Heading into a job before the day’s even begun
Y’put on a mask to wear the whole day!
Working for a doctor and earning all your pay
To cover all your debts, from your college and your ex
Stuck in traffic both ways
Is not the end of your days
No rest for the weary
Even though you’re feeling teary
Don’t know how you do it dearie
But I’m really amazed

Liz
12 years old and thought I was grown;
AOL messenger I was in the zone.
Mama was watching just to see
That nobody bad was messaging me
16 years old got a job got a car
Mama tried stop me
I was going too fast too far
18 years going to be a mom on my own
Mama said I'm here you won't do this alone.

You you you you you
Are so amazing
You you you you you
are so amazing

Jo
I tried to be a mama bear, defending you and Ed
I thought you’d be a bear I see you a tiger mom instead
Just like when you were younger defending kids when off at school
The bullies learned to fear you- and the football team did too!
You won’t be pushed around, though it’s meant we’ve butted heads
You’ve always fought for the underdog
Supported those in need
Given from your heart
Played it smart from the start
When I would have fall’n apart
You never stumbled in the fog
You were determined to succeed

Liz
Yelling and screaming it's me against the world
Mama stood behind me cause I'm her little girl
Through your own pain, trapped in your mind
You got us all through it even when you weren’t fine
You think that you’re unworthy
You think that you’re in the way
But mama I always needed you
I just didn't know what to say.

You you you you you
Are so amazing
You you you you you
are so amazing
