[Verse 1]
Mama's hands are worn and calloused
Working three jobs, still can't keep the balance
Night shift, day shift, cleaning up their messes
While they sleep sound, she's counting her blessings
Invisible woman in a service line
Breaking her back just to keep us alive
[Chorus]
Ghost wages, phantom pay
Working hard but fade away
They don't see her sacrifice
Just another shadow in the night
Ghost wages, phantom dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
But mama keeps on pushing through
Teaching me what warriors do
[Verse 2]
Bills stacking up like prison walls
Debt collectors steady making calls
She serves their food with a painted smile
While her own plate's been empty for a while
System designed to keep us down
But mama's spirit won't bow to their crown
[Bridge]
They say pull yourself up
But the ladder's broken
Empty promises and words unspoken
Generation after generation
Trapped in this situation
But mama taught me dignity
In this hustle economy
[Verse 3]
Every tip she earns is battle won
Every shift she works until the sun
Cleaning offices in empty towers
Trading life away by the hours
But her strength flows through my veins
Her struggle etched into my name
[Chorus]
Ghost wages, phantom pay
Working hard but fade away
They don't see her sacrifice
Just another shadow in the night
Ghost wages, phantom dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
But mama keeps on pushing through
Teaching me what warriors do
[Outro]
For every unseen warrior like you, mama
For every silent battle you've won
Your dignity lights up the darkness
And your strength keeps flowing on
