I can see my breath rise in the cold
Seventeen years old
Tryna keep my hands warm
About a dollar in my coat
Practicing some notes
To Brandy in my head phones streaming
Stole a candy bar so I won't starve
My mother ain't healthy, can't get no job
Music is the only thing that I got
Everything around me's broken
Kinda like my home, frozen like my earlobes
And everybody that I know
Tell me not go, they don't know I know
I'll be there
You see I gotta keep it moving
Though things get hard
'Cause people around here They don't make it too far
And everytime I have a conversation with god
He always tells me
(Tynisha, I love you I got you forever)
And life ain't always gonna be this way
(Whenever you fallin' I'm gonna catch ya)
Said you'll never ever go way
(It's gonna get crazy before it gets better)
So you will take all the pain away
(Don’t you give up now No I won’t let ya ,let go let me)
My neighborhood won't let me go,
They said you tried before
(Leave that thing alone girl)
But from the bottom of my soul
Believe me oh I know
Imma be so much more ,yeah
See all I wanna do is make my lost loved ones proud
Like hey Daddy, look at your little girl now.
Everything will change when i come back 'round
You'll see.
Though my back's against the ropes
I ain't giving up on hope.
Can't go any lower.
I ain't got no where else to go
I leave it to you, Lord. help me.
You see I gotta keep it moving Though things get hard
'Cause people around here They don't make it too far
And everytime I have a conversation with god
He always tells me
(Tynisha, I love you I got you forever)
And life ain't always gonna be this way
(Whenever you fallin' I'm gonna catch ya)
Said you'll never ever go way
(It's gonna get crazy before it gets better)
So you will take all the pain away
(Don’t you give up now No I won’t let ya ,
let go let me)
(Tynisha, I love you I got you forever)
And life ain't always gonna be this way
(Whenever you fallin' I'm gonna catch ya)
Said you'll never ever go way
(It's gonna get crazy before it gets better)
So you will take all the pain away
(Don’t you give up now No I won’t let ya ,let go let me)
