[Hook]
Living wasn't easy
Cuz we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday.
They told me I was nothing
That i'd never be something
But I knew I would make it someday
[verse 1]
This is my story, I was a girl who
Came from nothing & life in my surroundings
Was bad. But deep inside me
I would pray for god to guide me
Cuz I knew he'd give me strength for life
And all it's problems back then.
[verse 2]
Hand me down clothing
Empty shelves inside the cupboard
And mama kept three jobs to make do
I'd hear her cryin
But she never stopped between
3 girls, light bill & the rent ya'll
Livin wasn't easy back then
[bridge]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh--------[backgrounds]
By faith I believed one day i'd
Sing & things would get better
So don't give up no matter what it seems
(modulate)
[hook 2]
Livin wasn't easy
Cuz we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
No matter what it's seeming
You gotta keep on dreamin
And you know that you can make it someday
