I can see my breath rise in the cold

Seventeen years old

Trying to keep my hands warm

About a dollar in my coat

Practicing some notes

To Brandy in my headphones 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 is broken

Kinda like 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 got you

Got you forever

And life ain't always gonna be this way

Whenever you're fallen

I'm gonna catch you

Said you'll never ever go way

It's gonna get crazy

Before it gets better

And you will take all the pain away

Don't you give up now



My neighborhood's only goal is



From the bottom of my soul

Believe me yeah I know

That I'm gonna be so much more yeah

See all I wanna do is make my lost love ones proud

Look at your little girl now

Everything goin change when I come back around

You will see



Throw my backs against the ropes

I ain't given up on hope

Can't go any lower

I ain't got nowhere else to go

Leave it to the lord to 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 got you

Got you forever

And life ain't always gonna be this way

Whenever you're fallen

I'm gonna catch you

Said you'll never ever go way

It's gonna get crazy

Before it gets better

And you will take all the pain away

Don't you give up now
