Lyrics:
Vs 1: I know somebody out here today Can relate to what I’m about to say Growing up in the Ghetto life was so dam hard Drawing water from a well, living in a house that was falling apart Mama cooked our dinner on a wood stove Washed our clothes in a moping pail, and hanged them outdoors It was so frustrating sleeping on the floor With a blanket over my body, hoping it would keep me warm Vs 2: Living on welfare with three mouth to feed Barely making ends meets I wore bell bottom jeans and penny loafer shoes Kids would pick on me everyday at school I would come home running to mama, with tears in my eyes She would take me in her arms, and tell me everything’s gonna be alright Baby don’t worry about what people say Cause the one that’s talking bad about you, might need you someday Chorus: Make your haters your motivator That’s what mama use to say You don’t need people like them in your life anyway Baby keep your head up and keep moving on Someday you are going to rise above it all So to everybody who shunned me Said I would never mount to nothing Look at me now I’m all over your TV Vs 3: So much was going on but there was nothing I could do But mama had faith that God would see us through On cold winter days I had to go out and chop wood A little kerosene on the fire made it burn good In those time of needs daddy was no where to be found The last time I saw his face is when he walked out But mama did her best to take care of me Stood beside me through all of my difficulties Bridge Chorus: Now I’m all grown up looking back to where I come from If it wasn’t for your prayers mama I wouldn’t be where I am today If I ever have a daughter I want her to be just like you A beautiful strong God fearing woman mama I love you I’m gonna teach her all the things that you taught me And do all the things for her that you did for me Thank you for the prayers you prayed, and for the love you gave And for the words of wisdom you taught me along the way Chorus:
