Shit ain't how I want it yet
But it ain't how it used to be
It was hard I must admit
But struggle shaped me
We ain't even have a crib
Shelters where we sleep
Mama living check to check
So noodles what we eat
Section 8, nights was cold
Mama got it on her own
Told me ain't nothing that I can't be
I was 8, we was broke
It was us against the world
But it was music that set me free
Money, don't grow on trees they say
But I learned
That ain't all we need baby
It's easy to get stuck in yesterday
But hold on, and know soon you'll find your way
Life been kinda hard ain't it?
Feel like all you see is flaws lately
Looking to the sky
Asking creator why
Do you just break my heart daily
Wont you tell me what I'm doing wrong
Give me a hint on which way I should go
I know you testing faith
But Im walking in place
No I won't let this world break me
Section 8, nights was cold
Mama got it on her own
Told me ain't nothing that I can't be
I was 8, we was broke
It was us against the world
But it was music that set me free
Money, don't grow on trees they say
But I learned
That ain't all we need baby
It's easy to get stuck in yesterday
But hold on, and know soon you'll find your way
Dear God
I've tried my best
But if today I lose my hope
Please tell me that your plans
Are better than my dreams
