[Intro] Yeah This right here for you For all them years For every up, every down You stayed solid [Verse 1] We was young when I knew your face Life got hard, then we went our ways Years rolled by, we was both in pain But somehow love brought us back again A lot done changed, but your heart still pure When my road got dark, you was still my cure Ain’t no perfect man, I done had my flaws But you held me down through it all You could’ve ran, you could’ve chose your peace Could’ve left me there with these cold hard streets But you stayed right here, never switched no side You was ten toes down through the lows in life [Pre-Chorus] I know the road got heavy I know I made you wait But every time I lost my balance You helped me find my way [Chorus] You stayed down When the lights got low, you stayed down When the pressure came, you stayed down When I lost my way, you stayed round Girl, you stayed down You gave love When it hurt real bad, you gave love Put your dreams on hold and gave love Helped me raise this child and gave love Girl, you stayed down [Verse 2] You the woman that had my child Built a home with me through the storm and wild Things weren’t sweet, we ain’t have it all Still you stood your ground, never let us fall And I know it’s true, you made sacrifice Put your wants on pause just to hold this life Helped me raise my little girl with care Real love live in the things right there See, a lot of folks only love that shine They don’t stick around when it’s hard sometimes But you saw the man way beneath my pride Saw the broken parts I would always hide Now we here, and we built this up Outta old pain, outta tears and trust Didn’t let our past put us in the ground We came back stronger, and we hold it now [Pre-Chorus] I know the road got heavy I know I made you wait But every time I lost my balance You helped me find my way [Chorus] You stayed down When the lights got low, you stayed down When the pressure came, you stayed down When I lost my way, you stayed round Girl, you stayed down You gave love When it hurt real bad, you gave love Put your dreams on hold and gave love Helped me raise this child and gave love Girl, you stayed down [Bridge] And I know I don’t say it all the time But I see your heart, and I know your grind Every tear, every prayer, every sleepless night You was right there by my side And I thank God we found our way After all them years and all that pain Some people leave, some people fade But you came back, and you stayed [Instrumental] [Verse 3] So this for the nights you held me up When I felt like I ain’t have enough For the faith you had when mine was gone For the way you made this house a home For the mother you are, for the love you give For the strength you got, for the way you live For believing in us when it looked real dim For choosing this life all over again I ain’t singing this just to sound real smooth I’m singing truth, girl, I’m singing you If the world never gives you your proper crown Know in my heart, you the reason now [Final Chorus] You stayed down Through the worst of days, you stayed down Through the fear and pain, you stayed down Never switched on me, you stayed down Girl, you stayed down You gave love When the road got rough, you gave love When my soul got tired, you gave love Built this family up with real love Girl, you stayed down [Outro] Yeah This one for the woman that stayed The woman that built The woman that gave The woman that came back And never let go I see you
