Yeah… (yeah)
She knew what she was doin’ (uh)

She raised me where the winters bite
Where you learn real quick how to stand and fight
Didn’t have much, but we had spine
Had to hunt hope in overtime
She said, “Boy, don’t bark, don’t beg
Keep your teeth sharp, don’t lose your edge”
I learned early how to read a room
When to stay quiet, when to move

I ain’t mean, I’m just prepared
World cold, but I’m aware

Mama raised a wolf (yeah)
Lone howl, still run with the truth
I don’t fold, I don’t flinch
I survive, I adapt, I move
If the night get dark, that’s cool
I was built for the moon
Mama raised a wolf
And I don’t apologize for the tooth (uh)

She prayed over scars she could see
Trusted God with the ones in me
I ain’t perfect, but I protect
Every promise I ever kept
I don’t strike unless I’m pressed
But I don’t back down from a test
If you cross that line, that’s on you
I move quiet, but I move true

I don’t hunt for blood or fame
Just guard what came with my name

Mama raised a wolf (yeah)
Lone howl, still run with the truth
I don’t fold, I don’t flinch
I survive, I adapt, I move
If the night get dark, that’s cool
I was built for the moon
Mama raised a wolf
And I don’t apologize for the tooth

I been cornered, I been cold
Still never lost control
I don’t bite unless I must
But when I do, it’s just enough

Mama raised a wolf (yeah, yeah)
Still gentle with the pack I choose
Got scars where the love sit
Got fire where the fear used to
I don’t chase crowns or thrones
Just protect what I call home
Mama raised a wolf
And that’s somethin’ I’ll always own

Yeah…
Built for the dark…
Still standin’…
