[Intro]
Leftover grace, plastic plates
Mama's face, trying to make it okay
[Verse 1]
Cold turkey on a chipped china dish
Counting pennies for a Christmas wish
Grandma's recipe for making ends meet
Stretching dinner like it's pure gold on these streets
Food stamps running low, but we make it work
Pride swallowed harder than this bland-ass turkey, it hurts
But mama's magic with that microwave
Making feasts from scraps, that's how we behave
[Chorus]
Leftover grace, we ain't asking for much
Just enough to feel like we ain't giving up
Small portions, big love, that's how we survive
In this broken tinsel kingdom, barely alive
But we're fine, yeah, we're fine
[Verse 2]
Split one potato six different ways
Everybody eat, that's what mama says
Christmas music playing through broken speakers
While I watch her hands shake, getting weaker
But she smiles like everything's alright
Making miracles under fluorescent lights
Dollar store decorations on the wall
Acting like we ain't bothered, standing tall
[Bridge]
They don't see the strength in empty plates
The love in every morsel that we save
This ain't about hunger, it's about pride
Turning nothing into something, side by side
[Chorus]
Leftover grace, we ain't asking for much
Just enough to feel like we ain't giving up
Small portions, big love, that's how we survive
In this broken tinsel kingdom, barely alive
But we're fine, yeah, we're fine
[Outro]
Grace ain't what they say it is
It's in the way we share what little there is
Mama, I see you, I feel your sacrifice
In this broken tinsel kingdom of leftover life
