earthquake - letters sent home lyrics

[intro]
telling myself white lies, i believe they are true
i still don’t know if i could have survived what she went through
it took a while for me to see the pain she was in
now that it’s all said and done i refuse run

[verse 1]
the only few times i didn’t wanna stay quiet
were the only few times that i started a riot
momma prayed i wouldn’t be like her
so i went and became a nightmare
to the people who told her to smile while
they were chasing her down

[refrain]
she used to be sitting in the school bathroom holding her tears back, trying not to break
now that it’s all over, she is proud as she is watching her daughter causing earthquakes

[pre*chorus]
telling myself white lies, i believe they are true
i still don’t know if i could have survived what she went through
it took a while for me to see the pain she was in
now that it’s all said and done i refuse run

[chorus]
i can feel
i can feel god was listening ’cause she raised a fighter
breathe
she can breathe now that she knows her child isn’t like her
i heard her story and i know what i am is ’cause of her
now she is sorry for the time that she couldn’t teach
me how to breathe but i learned enough just by watching her
[verse 2]
every single night she closed her eyes to outrun what she thought was fate
to shield me from the curse she’ll carry to the grave
every single day she begged him to make me a light, so i became just like her

[refrain]
she used to be sitting in the school bathroom holding her tears back, trying not to break
now that it’s all over and time has passed by, she is a fighter causing earthquakes
