Justice for Jrue

In the shadows of the night, I'm fightin' for our light, Jaime's heart is heavy, but my spirit's burnin' bright With every tear I shed, I'm holdin' on to hope, The world's against us, but I'm learnin' how to cope You took my baby boy, thought you could take his soul, But I'm the lioness, and I'm ready to take control They covered up the truth, but I'm breakin' down the walls, Through the whispers and the lies, I hear my baby call From the streets to the radio, I'm shoutin' for his name, A mother's love is fierce, and I'll never feel the shame For my son, Jrue, I'm fightin' every day, Through the darkness and the pain, I'll find a way No greater love exists, it's a mother's vow I'll keep your innocence, I'll show you how Through the storm, we'll rise, hand in hand In this battle for your heart, together we will stand Four months locked away, but my spirit's ever free Every moment spent in chains is a step toward victory I've spoken to the giants I've rallied in the streets With every protest sign, I'll never take defeat The world may try to silence, but I've got a voice so loud With every word I'm sayin', I'm makin' my son proud They thought they'd break us down, thought they'd steal our dreams But love's a mighty force, stronger than it seems I'll rise up for Jrue, I'll fight 'til the end, In this battle for our lives, I'm your mother and your friend For my son, Jrue, I'm fightin' every day, Through the darkness and the pain, I'll find a way No greater love exists, it's a mother's vow, I'll keep your innocence, I'll show you how Through the storm, we'll rise, hand in hand, In this battle for your heart, together we will stand I won't let the silence drown out our song, With every beat of my heart, I'll prove them wron I'll tear down the injustice, I'll break every chain, For the love of my son, I'll dance in the rain Through the fire and the fury, we'll emerge anew, No power's greater than the bond between us two For my son, Jrue, I'm fightin' every day, Through the darkness and the pain, I'll find a way No greater love exists, it's a mother's vow, I'll keep your innocence, I'll show you how Through the storm, we'll rise, hand in hand, In this battle for your heart, together we will stand
