Lyrics

[Intro – soft percussion, ambient pads, layered vocal chants]

Mona… Mona… Mona…
You walk like grace, you carry light…
Mona… Mona… Mona…
They see your shine, but not your fight…

⸻

[Verse 1 – warm vocal melody with rhythmic cadence]

Superstar smile, but your heart runs deep
You held me strong when I couldn’t sleep
I was breakin’, quiet, close to gone
But you stayed calm and carried on

People scroll past your TikTok screen
But they don’t know what your silence means
You’re the safe I didn’t have to ask
You showed up fast, like the old days past

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – harmony builds, soft drums begin]

From teardrops spilled on my bedroom floor
To mall walks when your slipper tore
You didn’t pause, you didn’t ask
You ran for me — like it’s your task

You never needed to say a word
Your love was felt, your actions heard
And if you fall, best believe it’s true
Big sis gon’ ride — I got you

⸻

[Chorus – catchy Afro-soul chant, vocal stacking and bounce]

Mona, I got you — rain or sun
You held me down, now watch me run
Mona, I got you — every turn
You shine with love the world can’t learn

Mona, I got you — that’s my vow
Slipper broke? I ran — right now
No pause, no plan — I flew
Mona… I got you, I always do

⸻

[Verse 2 – groove deepens with light guitar or piano]

We pray for Mama with every breath
And hold her dreams through every test
One day she’ll stand, her joy restored
Independent and loved, fully adored

We’ll cry and laugh when that day arrives
Tears of peace from stormy lives
And girl, you’ve been the calm I crave
The one who shows what it means to stay brave

⸻

[Bridge – spiritual echo with layered harmony, half-sung half-spoken]

“Fa inna ma’al usri yusra”
Indeed, with hardship comes ease —
I hold that verse like gold
And Mona, you helped me be bold

You’re my angel without wings
The soul behind my every win
I’ve been blessed — and so has she
To have a sister like you with me

⸻

[Chorus – repeat with extra vocal runs, deeper rhythm drop]

Mona, I got you — ride or roll
Catch your fall, I play that role
Mona, I got you — in my soul
Big sis love, it never fold

Mona, I got you — real and true
When your slipper broke, I ran for you
Didn’t blink, just moved — like glue
Mona… I got you. I always do.

⸻

[Final Chorus – stripped down, claps + chant, intimate feel]

Mona… I got you! (eh!)
Mona… I got you! (real!)
Mona… I got you! (true!)
Forever, baby — I got you.

Mona… I got you! (now!)
Mona… I got you! (always!)
Mona… I got you! (my vow!)
Forever and ever — I got you.

⸻

[Outro – fading guitar, whispered chant with strings]

One day Mama will rise and shine…
And we’ll be there — you and I
You’re more than a sister, you’re my why
Mona… I got you — for all of time.
