☆ Raise It Up

No father figure in the house
and i’m wonderin’
how i’m gonna work it out oh
my friends keep on tellin’ me
how i don’t need that man
they don’t really understand
there’s far too many
presures in reality
but dealing with the
pain and stress and poverty
and i gotta be myself
because there’s nobody
else for me
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 presures 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 ways
so don’t give up
so don’t give up
when presures come down
sometimes it seems impossible
and that’s why we pray
so raise it up we raise
seem to be nothing left for me
mommas gone
daddy didn’t wanna be
and now i’m all by myself
wonderin’ where is love
or should i just give up
life falls down on me
cuts into my soul
but i know i got the
strength to make it
throgh it all
cause i’m still standin’ tall
breaking throgh this wall
i’m gonna give my all
feelin like a motherless child
hankered into my soul
it’s bringing me down
can’t find my smile
on a face of a
motherless child
gonna break down these walls
gonna give it my all ya know
yeah yeah yeah yeahhhh
hang in there with me
sometimes it takes a
different kind of love to
raise a child
so dont give up
so dont give up
when pressures come down
sometimes it takes a
different kind of dream to
make a smile
so raise it up
so raise it up
hang in there with me
sometimes it takes another
helping hand to
show you the way
when presures come down
sometimes it seems impossible
that’s why we pray
so raise it up
