(this song is dedicated to everyone out there in a struggle i've been there)

Growing up in a shelter

Not alot of food to eat
All i wanted was a warm home
At night i'm afraid to sleep


Never really knew my father
My mom says i have his name

But i dont really want to know him
I'm sure he feels the same


Momma didn't feel responsible
Had problems all her own
Didn't know who to talk to

When i felt all alone

But i still believe in me

I've got to believe in me
(i believe)
If i dont believe in me

Then nobody will nobody will believe

Brother hustles on a corner

Ended up at nyc
(damn jay)
All he wanted was a good life

And a descent family

Sister started prostituting

And nobody gave a damn
(how can no body care about my sister)
Must be hard having two kids

When you can barely stand

Momma didn't feel responsible

Had probles of her own
(i'll do it by myself)
Didn't know who to talk to

When i felt so alone

(stand up)

But i still believe in me
I've got to believe in me
(i believe)

If i don't believe in me
Nobody will nobody will believe


How can you stand when
The world is against you
You dont know where to go

Who to trust with your life
Don't get no love from your family
No one's there they don't care

If your dead or alive

But i do believe in me

I've got to believe in me
If i don't believe in me
Nobody will nobody will believe


If i don't believe in me
Nobody will nobody will believe


(jason jessica i love you both
Mom i forgive you)
