  1. PPD

From the recording Diary of a Muva

On this track Arrev Tenae talks about how postpartum depression feels in her world

Lyrics

Days of bliss
Can be a hit or miss
On some nights like this

Barely getting sleep
Baby crying out for me
Early in the morning

I think it's 2 or 3 am
Too dark to tell the time
Hurry up and tend to her
I gotta clock in around 9

I'm hanging on by a thread
I'm out of tears to shed
Dragging myself out of bed
Howww, do I manage?

To put a smile on my face
Tell ppl I am doing great
Motherhood is ama
Zing like a zap to the heart
As my old world falls apart
Pick up new pieces and restart

PPD is inside of me
They say it goes away
Eventually
I often wonder when
I'll ever have a win

Am I doing enough
Should I call him on his bluff
Never mind that's just too much
I gotta push pass the hurt
Baby girl comes first above all
Pick up the slack your the muva
But then it all just shatters to the ground
And When you sink you drown
You thought you let her down
-Pause music, Jariah says it's okay it's alright -
Then you come back to reality and
Then you see
Your baby smiling
It's ok (it'll be ok)
make it to the next day and say.

I put a smile on my face
Tell ppl I am doing great
Motherhood is ama
Zing like a zap to the heart
As my old world falls apart
Pick up new pieces and restart

It's the same old things, it's just a different day
I get down on my knees and pray
That God continues to keep me sane
It's the same old things, it's just a different day
I get down on my knees and pray
That God continues to keep me sane
This ain't how it was meant to go
Bracing for all the impact
Gotta go with the flow
Even if you don't know
Where to go
You gotta keep your faith

I put a smile on my face
Tell ppl I am doing great
Motherhood is ama
Zing like a zap to the heart
As my old world falls apart
Pick up new pieces and restart

I put a smile on my face
Tell ppl I am doing great
Motherhood is ama
Zing like a zap to the heart
As my old world falls apart
Pick up new pieces and restart

Welcome to the diary of a muva.
I wrote this when I was falling under
And I refused to ask for help
I thought I could handle it myself
And play the cards I was dealt
This is as transparent as it gets, no longer living life with any regrets.
So… what's next?
