[Verse 1:] 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 [Hook]: You see I gotta keep it moving Though things get hard Cause people around here They don't make it too far And every time I have a conversation with God He always tells me [Chorus:] 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 away It's gonna get crazy Before it gets better And you will take all the pain away Don't you give up now [Verse 2:] 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's gonna 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 [Repeat Hook:] [Repeat Chorus:]
