Help me make a struggle song for domestic workers in botswana with lyrics, instrumental and voice on a country and western genre
Lyrics
*(Pedal steel guitar swells slow, acoustic strummin' low, fiddle whines like a lonesome wind over the Kalahari)*
Ohhh... yeah...
Rise before the sun cracks the Gaborone sky,
Boots on the dirt, coffee black as my sigh.
Scrubbin' floors till my hands bleed and crack,
Boss lady yellin', "Faster, girl, don't look back."
Kids back home in the village, dreamin' of my face,
Sendin' pennies for their books, prayin' for grace.
Hot as the devil's own boiler room sweat,
Mop and bucket my only friend, no regrets.
We're the backbone, yeah, the hidden hands,
Domestic queens in these borrowed lands.
Long hours, low pay, hearts heavy with load,
But we stand tall on this dusty road.
Ohhh, we hustle, we grind, we hold it down,
For our families, for our crown.
Domestic workers, sing it loud and proud,
Botswana strong, we ain't backin' down!
*(Yeah... yeah... hold it down!)*
Ironin' shirts for the man who don't see,
Cookin' his meals while mine's cold tea.
Live-in shadows, no time for my own,
Missin' my boy's laugh on that old cell phone.
Rain floods the yard, but I bail it alone,
Thunder roars loud, but my will is stone.
From Maun to Molepolole, we carry the weight,
Dreamin' of rest, but tomorrow's too late.
We're the backbone, yeah, the hidden hands,
Domestic queens in these borrowed lands.
Long hours, low pay, hearts heavy with load,
But we stand tall on this dusty road.
Ohhh, we hustle, we grind, we hold it down,
For our families, for our crown.
Domestic workers, sing it loud and proud,
Botswana strong, we ain't backin' down!
*(Whoa-oh... ain't backin' down! Yeah!)*
*(Fiddle solo rips wild, banjo pickin' fast like flyin' fingers, steel guitar bends weepin' notes, drums kick in steady like a heartbeat march, buildin' to thunderous stomp-clap rhythm)*
One day we'll rise, claim what's ours to take,
No more bent backs for a beggar's stake.
Sisters united, from the village to town,
Our song's gettin' louder, won't keep us down.
*(Mmm-hmm... yeah, louder now...)*
We're the backbone, yeah, the hidden hands,
Domestic queens in these borrowed lands.
Long hours, low pay, hearts heavy with load,
But we stand tall on this dusty road.
Ohhh, we hustle, we grind, we hold it down,
For our families, for our crown.
Domestic workers, sing it loud and proud,
Botswana strong, we ain't backin' down!*(Acoustic fades slow, fiddle trails off soft, pedal steel sighs one last cry)*
Yeah... Botswana strong... we ain't backin' down...
*(Ohhh... hold it down... fade...)*
