i can see my brethe rise in the cold
seventeen years old
tryna keep my hands warm.
baught a dollar in my coat
practicing some notes
to Brandy in my head phones streamin'
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
& everbody that i know tell me not to go
but they don't know i know i'll be there.
you see i gotta keep it moving thought
things get hard 'cause people 'round here,
they don't make it too far,
& everytime i have a conversation with God,
he always tells me
Tynisha, i love you
i got you forever
(& life ain't always gonna be this way)
when ever you fallin'i'm gonna catch ya
(say you'll never ever go away)
it's gonna get crazy before it gets better
(but you can take all the pain away)
don't you give up now, no i won't let ya
let go of 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 e 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 yo' 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 'round here,
they don't make it too far,
& everytime i have a conversation with God,
he always tells me
Tynisha, i love you
i got you forever
(& life ain't always gonna be this way)
when ever you fallin'i'm gonna catch ya
(say you'll never ever go away)
it's gonna get crazy before it gets better
(but you can take all the pain away)
don't you give up now, no i won't let ya
let go of me
Tynisha, i love you
i got you forever
(& life ain't always gonna be this way)
when ever you fallin'i'm gonna catch ya
(say you'll never ever go away)
it's gonna get crazy before it gets better
(but you can take all my pain awa from mee yeahh)
don't you give up now, no i won't let ya
let go of me
