I can see my breath rise in the cold
Seventeen years old
Trying to keep my hands warm

About a dollar in my coat
Practicing some notes
To Brandy in my headphones streamin


Stole a candy bar so I won't starve
My mother ain't healthy,

can't get no job
Music is the only thing that I got


Everything around me is broken
Kinda like home, frozen like my earlobes
And everybody that I know

Tell me not go, they don't know I know
I'll be there


You see I gotta keep it moving
Though things get hard
Cause people around here

They don't make it too far
And everytime I have a
conversation with god

He always tells me

Tynisha I got you

Got you forever
And life ain't always gonna be this way
Whenever you're fallen

I'm gonna catch you
Said you'll never ever go way
it's gonna get crazy

Before it gets better
And you will take all the pain away
don't you give up now


My neighborhood's only goal is


From the bottom of my soul
Believe me yeah I know
That I'm gonna be so much more yeah

See all I wanna do is make my
lost love ones proud
Look at your little girl now

Everything goin change when
I come back around
You will see


Throw my backs against the ropes
I ain't given up on hope

can't go any lower
I ain't got nowhere else to go
Leave it to the lord to help me


You see I gotta keep it moving
Though things get hard

Cause people around here
They don't make it too far
And everytime I have a

conversation with god
He always tells me


Tynisha I got you
Got you forever
And life ain't always gonna be this way

Whenever you're fallen
I'm gonna catch you
Said you'll never ever go way

it's gonna get crazy
Before it gets better
And you will take all the pain away

don't you give up now
