Skyscraper Lyrics by Rika (NYC)

A New York Love Affair

2019

[Verse 1]

Momma
Where do I start?
Such a strong woman with such heart
Whenever I'm hurting you are right there by my side
You’re the one who taught me positivity
Helped me grow my spirituality
Always held our home down like a queen (like a queen)

And Daddy
Where do I begin?
For your family you'd do anything
Laughing with you is one of my favorite things to do in the world
Car rides with you, listening to Earth Wind & Fire with you
I hope you know
I'll always be your little girl

You make me feel like I’m a

[Chorus]

Skyscraper
So many times you've been a lifesaver
Now I stand tall just like a
Skyscraper
You're my refuge, you're my fortress
I feel strong and supported
I thank you, I love you


[Verse 2]

Remember how we used to fight, slammed the door and then I'd cry, yeah, yeah
No, we couldn't get it right, we would argue every night yeah, yeah
But you always had my back even when I was a brat
And you still hold me down
We decided to be patient
Look at the relationship we've found
I don't know what sacred contract I signed up in heaven
To get you as parents
But I’m so grateful that I did
You deserve the finer things, and luxury, everything you’ve ever dreamed
I wanna get it all for you
So you know you're appreciated
Cuz you make me feel like a

[Chorus]

Skyscraper
So many times you’ve been a lifesaver
Now I stand tall just like a
Skyscraper
You're my refuge, you're my fortress
I feel strong and supported
I thank you I love you

Skyscraper
So many times you've been a lifesaver
Now I stand tall just like a
Skyscraper
You’re my refuge, you're my fortress
I feel strong and supported
I thank you I love you

I love you, Mom and Dad
