Yeah

I know
I know

Brett's an alcoholic
Betty's got a problem
Popping prescription that
She's getting from her doctor
And neither pay attention
To they daughter
When their baby girl
Was only looking for a
Shoulder she could cry on
But they both too busy
Dealing with they problems
To understand all the damage
That they leaving on their child
By the time they realize
Shell be old enough to
Incorrectly wear it
Like a badge of honor
Instead of knowing that
Her past don't define her
Too young to understand that
Her trauma lives behind her
It was the courage
That she had, the strength
She had to muster
Just to go through life
Without a mother
Cause the nights be so cold
When you feel so alone
And your home never
Feels like a home
Moms at it again, cheap lipstick
Smeared on her lips
She's outside flirting with Ben
That's the neighbor
But can you blame her
Her husband isn't stable
A gambler, betting all his
Money at the stables
And then he
Comes home drunk
Slams her on the table
Then he stomps her
Like its fable
And little Jo saw
The reflections
On the tv from the table
The only time they got to
See the cable, didn't waver
Jo's crying in bed, wondering
If all of her friends
Can recognize they moms
Screaming, yelling in pain
Or is it just unfair that God
Chose her to have to endure
All the pain that she bears
Does God even care

Little Jo went looking for joy
At 13 fell in love with a boy
That boy's Clarence
Clarence is a felon
Little delinquent making money
Off the heroin
Got her addicted to the tar
Had her twisted selling cookies
Out the jar, Close to the tree
The apple will fall
When you plant it
In the same yard
Plenty of nights wondering
If she'd be well off
But pain only last so far
Jo thought she loved
A movie star, but she was
Sleeping next to evil
He was slipping her the needles
And then he started
Tricking her to weirdos
So she got pregnant at 15
But josie was happy
She's 'bout to be a mother
In the summer
Until Clarence got to beating on
Her stomach
The same way daddy
Been beating on her momma
She thought it meant that
Clarence loved her
But she kept looking
In the mirror
She couldn't fight the feeling
Of a stranger who was
Dancing with the devil
And Jo was fed up
She went searching
For the needle
But Clarence came in
Screaming
And Josie tried to reason

Shut the f*ck up
Shut the f*ck up come here

In that moment she was hoping
He would kiss her
Say that he was tripping
Say he loved the baby and her
But he went reaching for
The Wesson in the dresser
He was tripping on like 10 Percs
He started shooting
Till he hit her
And now her stomach bleeding
She went sinking to the floor
She couldn't feel the heartbeat
Just like that the baby's gone
And the next few days
Were such a blur
She would've birth a baby girl
But instead she birthing trauma
That'll always stay with her
(That'll always stay with her)
Clarence went to prison
Police sent Josie to the system
Surrounded by
Misfortunate children
Who get the cold shoulder on
The coldest of Christmas
Where there's no love
For the wicked
Josie resorted to snorting
But cant forget about aborting
So she started stealing
Clothing just to fit in
Felt disgusted by her own skin
And she tired of the sleeves
Just to hide her battles
With the depression
Terrified of first impressions
Lived  it all with no hope
Got the boot at 18
Had to walk out the door
Had to surf it in basement
In the city ghetto
Got a job and an old Nintendo
Started buying retros
When you've never had any
You just really want to ball
Love the feeling spending money
You just want to buy it all
Instead she started taking classes
And she fell in love with
College campus
Mopping floors
And cleaning windows
There's no point in being choosy
When you been broke
Fast forward a couple years
Jo smiling at a picture
She was holding in her hands
Of her momma and the man
When they were younger
In embrace
With big smiles on their face
Placed it on the fireplace
Walked away with grace
In a dress that'll kill at the Gala
That she paid for in cash
When she walked inside of Prada
No more stealing from the store
She a doctor
And she run her own
Practice in Atlanta
And every Christmas she
Pretending that she Santa
Delivers presents to the children
That don't have none
And spoil both her
Parents like she's grandma
See Josie understands that
Trauma's generational
And she knows
That they were children who
Needed all the love that Josie
Needed too
And they never chose the hell
They had to make it through
All the abusing that made
Them hateful
That made them chose drugs
To withdraw
From a home that knew love
Gave them both depression
Made them anxious and
Made them hate the felling
When they looked at Josie
And they felt hopeless
You see
They were also victims
Of they own
So Josie broke the cycle and
Embrace them and she
Showed them how to love
(And she showed them how to love)
And the only reason that
I put it all in song
Is to remind you that
You never know the
Battle someone fought
Josie could
Josie could be your mom
Damn
F*ck
Tell somebody you love them
Today
Don't wait 'till tomorrow
Pick up your fucking phone
Go see them in person
Tell somebody
You love them
Beause you never know when
It's too late
