Raise it up

No father figure in the hause
And I'm wondering how I'm gonna
work it out oh

My friend keep on telling me
How I don't need that man
But they don't really understand
There's far too money pressures
in reality

Dealing with pain,
the stress and poverty.
And I gotta by myself because
There's nobody else for me
no

(Heading there with me)
sometimes it takes a different kind
of love to raise a child
(So don't give up)
So don't give up

(When pressures come down)
sometimes it takes a different kind
Of dream to make you smile
(So raise it up)
So raise

(Hang in there with me)
Sometimes we need another
helping hand to show the way
(So don't give up)
So don't give up

(When pressures come down)
Sometimes it seems impossible and
that's why we pray
(So rise it up)
we pray

Seems to be
Nothing left for me
Mama's gone
daddy's didn't wanna be

And now I'm all by myself
wonderin where is love
or should I just give up
You now

Life falls down on me
Cuts into my soul
But I know I got the strength to
make it throught it all

Cause I'm still standing tall
Breaking throught these walls
I'm gonna give my all Hey Hey

Feeling like a motherless child
paint cuts into my soul
It's bringing me down
Can't find my smile

On the face of a motherless child

Gonna break down these walls
Gonna give my all
You know yeah yeah

(Heading there with me)
sometimes it takes a different kind
of love to raise a child
(So don't give up)
So don't give up

(When pressures come down)
sometimes it takes a different kind
Of dream to make you smile
(So raise it up)
So raise


(Hang in there with me)
Sometimes we need another
helping hand to show the way
(So don't give up)
So don't give up

(When pressures come down)
Sometimes it seems impossible and
that's why we pray

SO RAISE IT UP
