living wasn't easy
cuz we didn't have much money
but i knew i would make it someday.
they told me i was nothing
that i'd never be something
but i knew i would make it someday
[verse 1]
this is my story, i was a girl who
came from nothing & life in my surroundings
was bad. but deep inside me
i would pray for god to guide me
cuz i knew he'd give me strength for life
and all it's problems back then.
[verse 2]
hand me down clothing
empty shelves inside the cupboard
and mama kept three jobs to make do
i'd hear her cryin
but she never stopped between
3 girls, light bill & the rent ya'll
livin wasn't easy back then
[bridge]
oh oh oh oh oh oh--------[backgrounds]
by faith i believed one day i'd
sing & things would get better
so don't give up no matter what it seems
(modulate)
[hook 2]
livin wasn't easy
cuz we didn't have much money
but i knew i would make it someday
no matter what it's seeming
you gotta keep on dreamin
and you know that you can make it someday |
