Heavy heart

Dark, cinematic drum & bass with snarling reese bass, razor-sharp breaks, and shimmering pads; verses sit in a moody half-time pocket, chorus explodes into full-speed drops, Female vocals, intimate in the verses, belting and layered in the hook, with stuttered chops echoing key phrases, Tension builds through risers and filtered drums, then slams into a cathartic, club-ready release, female vocals, drum and bass, electronic

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept your secrets
Locked in my chest
Swore to protect you
Did my best
But then you turned
And cut me down
Like I ain’t fighting
Just to stand my ground

[Chorus]
How dare you judge me? (hey!)
Single mom with a heavy heart
Of course I gotta lean on my family
That’s the only thing holding me up in the dark
I don’t have a man who will stand for me
Or show up for my little one
All these boys out here don’t know what it means
To raise the child of some other man’s son
It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault (no)
How dare you judge me?

[Verse 2]
You sit there in your comfort
Acting like you understand
Throwing shadows at my choices
From a life you never had
Grocery bags and late rent
Tiny shoes on the floor
Every day’s another mountain
Another knock at the door

[Pre-Chorus]
I kept your secrets
You kept your pride
Smiling to my face
While you cut me inside
You talk about “strength”
Like it’s easy to say
But you never walked
In my tired days

[Chorus]
How dare you judge me? (oh)
Single mom with a heavy heart
Of course I gotta lean on my family
That’s the only thing holding me up in the dark
I don’t have a man who will stand for me
Or show up for my little one
All these boys out here don’t know what it means
To raise the child of some other man’s son
It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault
How dare you judge me?

[Bridge]
You see my ringless hand
You think you know my story
You never saw the nights
I bled for his glory
You see my tired eyes
You call it weakness, too
But I am twice the spine
Of the man who walked from you

[Chorus]
How dare you judge me? (yeah)
Single mom with a heavy heart
Of course I gotta lean on my family
That’s the only thing holding me up in the dark
I don’t have a man who will stand for me
Or show up for my little one
All these boys out here don’t know what it means
To raise the child of some other man’s son
It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault
How dare you judge me?
