7 Layers

Seven layers that cuts deep

Doc behind that Blue sheet

Think about it still Lose sleep

Won’t be the same for like 12 weeks

Nothing about it is routine

Bloody gloves like a crime scene

Anybody sayin that it was a easy way out

Tell ‘em come find me

I peaked over the sheet and saw your organs on the table

Then they put ‘em back inside and sealed your skin up with some staples

Yea your Vital signs was stable

But C sections can be fatal

So I’m praying thanking God that he ain’t take you

(Yea)

All I could do was squeeze your hand

Try to pretend like I understand

What its like for you to have your kin

Cut right outta your abdomen

Damn my wife you super human

And you got the scar to prove it

Made it look easy, but don’t confuse it

Nothing easy bout reproducing

Wide awake that whole time

Weight of the world like a gold mine

Helping you breathe while I hold mine

Waiting on our son’s first cry

They brought him to you for the skin to skin

That’s when the hard work really begin

Can’t laugh, can’t sneeze, can’t cough, can’t bend

Can’t walk, can’t stand, can’t drive, can’t win

Woah…

How does any woman ever do it by herself?

Take the baby home with nobody’s help?

Ya’ll need more medals than Michael Phelps

All that pain that you felt

Feeling like you in hell

But that baby a blessing, an angel, a light

All through the day and the sleepless nights

Everbody sayin you gon be just fine

But the tears in your eyes say I’m not just fine

Go ahead mama and have a good cry

Even though you really want a glass of wine

You aint even really speak your mind

Honestly you just too damn tired

Trying to heal your body and breastfeed your baby at the same damn time
