Mama Ain't Raise No Bitch
Tayla Parx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I could unlove you now
Uncry these tears and just untouch you now
Wish I could leave you alone
Cause id be fine on my own
But now I miss you when the sun goes down
I wish I could uncall you back
Kick this bad habit maybe unrelapse
I know Iʼm better than this

I know way better that this
But it always hit's me when the sun goes down

Now Iʼm that chick I used to make fun of
Im that chick whoʼs tryna act all tough
Im that chick dressing up for you to notice
Whoʼs that chick?

Cuz mama ainʼt raise no bitch
And you know that mama ainʼt raise no bitch
And you know that so why am I here
Cryinʼ over you dyinʼ over you
When I know that you ain't shit
Overthinkinʼ you
Overdrinkin you When I know
That you ain't shit
When Mama ainʼt raise no bitch

I wish I wouldʼve stood my ground
Turned up my volume when you shut me down
Show you the strength in my voice
Show you the power in choice
Hard lessons learned but I can thank you
Now I bet it's hard to understand
This time the woman was the better man
A broken boy in the suit
Unwanted withering youth
Who needs somebody when the sun goes down

Now Iʼm that chick I used to make fun of
Im that chick whoʼs tryna act all tough
Im that chick dressing up for you to notice
Whoʼs that chick?

Cuz mama ainʼt raise no bitch
And you know that mama ainʼt raise no bitch
And you know that so why am I here
Cryinʼ over you dyinʼ over you
When I know that you ain't shit
Overthinkinʼ you, overdrinkin you
When I know that you ain't shit
When Mama ainʼt raise no bitch

You make me completely miserable

You make me completely miserable
But mama ain't raise no bitch

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Tayla Parx's song "Mama Ain't Raise No Bitch," the singer expresses a longing to undo their feelings for someone who has caused them pain. They wish they could erase the love they once felt, stop crying over this person, and disconnect from them completely. Despite knowing that they would be better off without this individual, the singer finds themselves missing them when the sun sets, highlighting the internal struggle between logic and emotions.

The following verse sees the singer reflecting on how they have transformed into someone they used to mock – someone who puts on a tough facade and seeks validation from the person who hurt them. Despite knowing their worth and their upbringing that taught them not to be weak, the singer questions why they are still emotionally invested in this toxic relationship, shedding light on the complexities of self-worth and vulnerability.

As the song progresses, the singer wishes they had asserted themselves more in the past, standing up for themselves and showing strength in the face of rejection. They acknowledge the lessons learned from the painful experience and express gratitude for the personal growth it has brought. The narrative shifts to portraying the singer as someone who defies societal expectations by demonstrating resilience and self-awareness, challenging traditional gender roles and norms.

The repetitive chorus reaffirms the singer's conviction that they are not willing to accept mistreatment or misery, emphasizing the importance of self-respect instilled by their upbringing. Despite the emotional turmoil caused by the toxic relationship, the singer holds onto their inherent strength and refuses to be defined by someone else's actions. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a message of empowerment, resilience, and independence, highlighting the journey towards self-discovery and self-love in the face of adversity.

Hard lessons learned but I can thank you
I have learned tough lessons but can still be grateful for the experience

Now I bet it's hard to understand
Now I'm sure it's difficult for you to comprehend

This time the woman was the better man
This time, the woman showed more strength and resilience

A broken boy in the suit
A vulnerable man appearing strong on the outside

Unwanted withering youth
A young person facing rejection and fading away

Who needs somebody when the sun goes down
Who requires someone when the day ends

You make me completely miserable
You bring me total misery

But mama ain't raise no bitch
However, my mother didn't raise a weak person

The lyrics speak to everything I was doing when I was heartbroken over this boy. After 2 years of depression I’m stepping out and enjoying myself without him. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
