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 will 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
