Whole ’Nother Level of Strong

Granny never expected for my grandpaw to die as soon as he did.

She couldn’t write and she couldn’t read and had to struggle to feed 8 kids

But she wore a smile and did what she could trying to keep those kids on track

And when they went to bed she went and set on Papaws swing out back

She would sit there sometimes a’ll night long

and hum herself a couple of his favorite songs

Aint That some kind of strong.

Stronger than I could ever be

Stronger than ive ever seen

She was always there so that she could take care of everyone and everything

She would do whatever she could to be there to help

Even if it meant going without for herself

Every one better leave that woman alone

Cause she’s a whole nother level of strong

After another few years I could see the fear my mama kept brushing off

I was getting on the bus making a fuss said I just wanna stay home

It had been me and her that’s all that we knew and how it’s been all along

Then she took my hand and helped me up the steps and like that her boy was gone

She watched the bus stirring up dust as it took me off on my own

Man. Aint that some kind of strong

Stronger than I could ever be

Stronger than ive ever seen

She was always there so that she could take care of everyone and everything

She would do whatever she could to be there to help

Even if it meant going without for herself

Every one better leave that woman alone

Cause she’s a whole nother level of strong

Later in life when it was me and my wife and we were waiting on our first child

I was a mess but she was the best at calming me down every time

Then the time came and I saw the pain that the miracle of giving birth is

But instead of complaining she couldn’t wait to tell me it was all worth it

She was just as nervous all along

But She always made sure I never caught on

Aint that some type of strong.

Stronger than I could ever be

Stronger than ive ever seen

She was always there so that she could take care of everyone and everything

She would do whatever she could to be there to help

Even if it meant going without for herself

Every one better leave that woman alone

Cause she’s a whole nother level of strong

Yeah a whole nother level of strong
