Hope, I hit it big so I can send for my daughter
'Cause this is, this is me, yeah
And God put me through it 'cause He knows I can do it
A mother, a daughter
Made my share of mistakes, that's alright
(Daughter)
I don't really care what the people say
(Oh, this is me, yeah)
'Cause this is, this is me, yeah
(Then they would know it ain't easy)
(Sis to my brother)
(Sis to my brother)
Back to the blessings and the love in the hood
And no one's had to live in my life
(Oh yeah)
'Cause I'm still just another girl from the ghetto
(Oh yeah!)
'Cause I'm not gonna be afraid no more
I'm still tryin' to make it out
From the streets to the stage of Hollywood
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be
'Cause this is me
Back to the blessings and the love in the hood
No one really knows the whole truth
I'm just a girl tryin' to make a way
(The whole truth about me)
I'm just a girl tryin' to make a way
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
'Cause this is, this is me, yeah
'Cause this is me
A sis to my brother
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be
And God, put me through it 'cause He knows I can do it
(Oh yeah)
Bustin' tables while I'm tryin' to sing
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
A sis to my brother
'Cause this is me
I'm just a girl tryin' to make a way
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be
('Cause He knows I can do it)
Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
From the streets to the stage of Hollywood
And God put me through it 'cause He knows, I can do it
(What the people really say!)
(Sis to my brother)
(There isn't sun in rain, there ain't joy in pain)
I'm just a girl tryin' to make a way
'Cause this is me
'Cause this is me and I won't hide who I am
(Oh yeah!)
I don't really care what the people say
A mother, a daughter
I don't really care what the people say
(There isn't sun in rain, there ain't joy in pain)
(Oh me)
There's so much in my life
Got a sack full of clothes and just a few dollars
(Be okay)
Southern girl with city dreams
A mother, a daughter, a sis to my brother
(Mother)
(Make a way)
Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
I don't really care what the people say
(He knows I can do it)
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
I break down 'cause I'm so deep in the struggle
A mother, a daughter, a sis to my brother
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
(This is me, yeah)
