Now you've been up and you've been down
Stayed strong even though daddy wasn't around
My momma through the thick and the thin beginning
to end
And though I be sinning you keep me livin' with
that lov
Thank God I woke up just another damn day
First thing I'm gonna do is fall on my knees and
pray
We all eyewitnesses to some pain and suffering
Emptyin' our souls to sin to keep on struggling
All th
From the womb to the world from the world to the
grave from the grave to the heavens and my spirit
From the liquor to the drugs to the police and
the thugs to my prayers and hope that he hears it
Little
Chorus:
Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions
Someday we gonna break free from these chains and
keep on flyin'
They tellin' me it's all good just w
See we gotta get it right but we always get it
wrong
And it be the same old thing and it be the same
old song
Tryin' to fight to survive Tryin' to fight for
our lives
See I'm only tryin' to live I do
