[Intro: Ghostface k**ah (Keyshia Cole)] Damn, this is for all my women thats been going through the struggle On welfare, living the rough life (oh I cried, but see I'm thankful) It's gone be alright, thats right (Thankful for the trouble For holding me down, every day, oh yeah..) This is how we gone do it, I want you to explain your story Then I'mah tell you mine, tell 'em (Uh, can't ask for any more.. more...) Tell 'em Keyshia.. [Chorus: Keyshia Cole] Momma, where did you go wrong Because I need to know You got me living the life you were living When you were young... And I'm heading down the same path, uh But the difference between me and you Is, oh, hey, hey, hey [Ghostface k**ah] There's not a difference, boo, it's real life.. It's not ya momma fault, it's ya fathers fault It's your fathers fault your mother is an alcoholic Confusin the brain from the booze and the pain And plus he cheated on her, beated on her, smack dead in the rain She Lost her first child in 74 And that lead to nervous breakdowns bicardi dark she downin it raw She can't take it she constantly cryin fallin down on her knees Like help me lord please I'm ready to leave All she needed was somebody to rub her feet Give her a nice hug and rescue her from off these streets, come on [Chorus] [Ghostface k**ah] There's not a difference, boo, it's only an 8-figure, back me up I been sent by an angel to snatch you up Take you way above the clouds and back you up At night you can lay in my arms feel the heart beatin Don status in the sheets I'm keepin you warm Ain't no n***a gone do what I do Imah take care of you and ya kids Take the bent and go handle ya biz The bills is paid,the cable back on I quote you know the seeds want they nickleodeon on I'm not ashamed to sport you Floss you or gloss you out Fat, skinny out of shape i'll dior you out [Chorus] [Ghostface k**ah] Wipe ya eyes.. Yo in the hood theres a struggle My girls is in trouble She lackin guidance in the mind shes blinded and puzzled Her pops never showed her the ropes Her moms raised mad kids on her own She never had a strong man in her home [Keyshia Cole w/ Ghost ad-libs] Stay stroooooooooong Oh, hey, said we're gonna stay strong No matter what Yeah.. we're still here to see, hey... (that's my baby, that's my baby) [Chorus] [Outro: Keyshia Cole] Gotta keep the hood up through all the struggle No matter what, you know what I'm saying? Keep your heart in the right place
