[00:21.90]Oooh I'm so happy that I'm
[00:25.59]Livin' my life
[00:26.85]
[00:27.59]I never knew what I went through
[00:30.15]But hoped everything'd turn out right
[00:32.53]
[00:33.10]I'm rememberin' the days that I was holdin' my head down
[00:38.97]When people came around I always pretended to smile
[00:43.78]
[00:44.47]But I knew
[00:46.03]Deep in my heart
[00:47.53]
[00:48.28]That I was slowly
[00:51.22]Fallin apart
[00:52.91]
[00:53.85]Some days
[00:55.10]All I wanted
[00:56.28]Was to hold my mother's hand
[00:58.65]And hear her say
[00:59.72]"Baby...
[01:00.19]You're gonna make it"
[01:01.57]Over and over again
[01:03.51]So I
[01:04.16]And I been livin' my life for quite some time
[01:06.85]And I'm
[01:07.41]So glad I made it this far
[01:09.78]And
[01:10.34]Nothin' gonna bring me back down
[01:12.59]And
[01:13.09]Nothin' gonna turn me around

[01:25.97]Don't want nobody to think
[01:29.10]It was easy for me
[01:30.60]
[01:31.41]It took a while just to get down
[01:33.34]
[01:34.04]Too many people just didn't believe
[01:35.79]
[01:36.72]I'm remembering the sacrifices that I had to make
[01:42.03]
[01:42.54]I would cry myself to sleep and say that it would be ok
[01:47.23]
[01:47.91]But I knew
[01:49.66]That if I prayed
[01:51.48]
[01:52.16]That I would be on my way someday
[01:56.73]
[01:57.67]Some times
[01:58.91]All I wanted
[02:00.17]Was to hear my father say
[02:02.04]
[02:02.60]He would say
[02:03.17]"Baby...
[02:04.04]You're gonna make it
[02:05.23]And I don't care what people say"
