Single Mother Lyrics by The Last Emperor

Music, Magic, & Myth

2003

[Verse 1]
This is a single story, for every single one
On a single planet, under a single sun
In a single solar system some think it's odd
Entire galaxy created by a single god
With a single thought, and a single plan
Single earth fashioned by a single hand
7 continents separated from a single land
Many nations are created from a single man
A single nation taken to a single place
Where they simply aren't familiar with a single face
Yet this is not the story of a single struggle
A single symbolism, nor a single couple
A young couple, who raise a single seed
Sworn protectors of her every single need
Forming a single balance, under a single order
From a single act of love they have a single daughter
Along the way she put her faith in a single lover
And from a single lie she became a single mother
Of a single son, born to a single girl
Single home alone, in a single world
Though her kids felt her single pain
With a single kiss she makes everything okay
I wrote this record in a single way
So the radio will play it every single day
[Chorus]
I dedicate this to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of you
If you're a single mother too...
Hey lady, this one's for you
Dedicated to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of you
If you're a single mother too...
Hey lady, this one's for you
[Verse 2]
You were my first teacher, my first friend
Gave me my first vision, and my first glimpse
Of a bigger world, given me my first look
Tuck me in my bed, and read my first book
And as I fell asleep, for the first time
Little did I know you were showing me my first rhyme
I want to thank you for showing me
How to be a man and turn my pain into poetry
Break my silence, express myself vocally
How to show the world what was once done locally
First one to take me on my quest for learning
First one to help me through life's stressful journey
And every single step, I'm coming with ya
Cause I belong to a strong single mother figure
You were the first one to tell me I was something bigger
I was an Emperor not just another nigga
First one to show me how I might be strong
The days seemed shorter and the night seemed long
Maybe that's the reason that I write these songs
To set the record straight and try to right these wrongs
This is the saga of a single mother
That's been provided by a single brother
I had to write it in a single way
So the radio will play it every single day
[Chorus]
I dedicate this to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of you
If you're a single mother too...
Hey lady, this one's for you
[Verse 3]
Another lonely day, another lonely night
I dedicate this to y'all yeah it's only right
Another untold truth is now brought to light
Another lesson is learned cause you taught me right
When I lost my way and the road got lonely
Only you...you were the one who showed me
Only you...you were the one to hold me
Sometimes I feel like you're the only one who knows me
And if you gotta stay single, hey
You should know this, I wrote this in a single way
The only thing I can do is pray
That the radio will play it every single day
[Chorus]
I dedicate this to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of you
If you're a single mother too...
Hey lady, this one's for you
Dedicated to every single mother
Just to let you know that we're thinking of you
If you're a single mother too...
Hey lady, this one's for you
