★ 卜超 制作[00:00:07]
she gotta condition of the heart a heart condition[00:00:18]
so as a kid she had to adapt to smarter livin'[00:00:20]
not much room to rebel because of health[00:00:23]
no drugs no booze just kiss and tell[00:00:25]
well known on the scene jailbait queen[00:00:28]
had the first baby barely eighteen[00:00:30]
father of the child was after one thing[00:00:32]
when the daughter came the dad was unseen[00:00:35]
it don't matter he ain't got a job[00:00:37]
so she had to go to work[00:00:39]
and leave the baby with her mom[00:00:40]
second shift 'til the neck is stiff[00:00:42]
but she worked it and built her own nest to live[00:00:44]
soon after that baby's dadd/lazy bum with no cash[00:00:46]
he wanna come over and crash[00:00:50]
he wanna play his part[00:00:52]
so she let him move into that garden level apartment[00:00:53]
she knew better she did it anyways[00:00:56]
explain better when you're tryin' to see some better days[00:00:58]
the sun's up catch those rays[00:01:01]
butterflies now who's got chase?[00:01:03]
but she still dreams after she woke tight hold on that hope[00:01:06]
sometimes it can seem so cold do what you gotta do to cope[00:01:11]
but she still dreams after she woke tight hold on that hope[00:01:15]
sometimes it can seem so cold do what you gotta do to cope[00:01:20]
two years later two months pregnant[00:01:24]
same daddy same broke ass situation[00:01:26]
this time the doc said her heart might break[00:01:28]
praise god that the job got her health benefits straight[00:01:30]
she believes in the right to choice[00:01:33]
but she loves baby girl and wants a boy[00:01:35]
makes more nowadays on the day shift[00:01:38]
balance that with night classes[00:01:40]
take some time and space and make it all fit[00:01:41]
the apartment they now live in is overcrowded[00:01:44]
raised her voice and made her point[00:01:47]
told that boy go get employed[00:01:49]
he put on his best shirt[00:01:52]
said he wasn't comin back 'til he gets work[00:01:54]
she knew what that part meant[00:01:56]
so she swept every piece out that apartment[00:01:58]
peace out keep out take the scenic route[00:02:01]
rather only hafta feed three mouths[00:02:03]
she adapts to everything now[00:02:06]
and nobody asks what she dreams about[00:02:08]
but she still dreams after she woke tight hold on that hope[00:02:11]
sometimes it can seem so cold do what you gotta do to cope[00:02:16]
but she still dreams after she woke tight hold on that hope[00:02:20]
sometimes it can seem so cold do what you gotta do to cope[00:02:25]
little girl was her first reason to breathe[00:02:29]
and her little man was the first man she believed in[00:02:31]
she gotta live right and do right by self[00:02:33]
she do for self she don't want your help[00:02:35]
afraid of being alone[00:02:39]
but fear aint' enough to knock her off of that stone[00:02:40]
gonna make that home a home[00:02:43]
with or without a man that she can call her own[00:02:45]
big boss at work is anxious[00:02:47]
continues to hand her the wrong advances[00:02:49]
she passes the test she knew the answers[00:02:52]
quit the job to go take a chance with life[00:02:54]
this is life we all strain[00:02:57]
while we pray for dollars and we work for change[00:02:58]
it's all the same we all struggle[00:03:01]
sometimes you gotta say fuck you[00:03:03]
when you smile and she doesn't return it[00:03:05]
give her room and don't disturb it[00:03:08]
if it makes it hurt less to curse and fight[00:03:10]
go ahead and hate the world girl you earned the right now[00:03:12]
but she still dreams after she woke tight hold on that hope[00:03:16]
sometimes it can seem so cold do what you gotta do to cope[00:03:20]
but she still dreams after she woke tight hold on that hope[00:03:25]
sometimes it can seem so cold do what you gotta do to cope[00:03:30]
but she still dreams after she woke tight hold on that hope[00:03:34]
sometimes it can seem so cold do what you gotta do to cope[00:03:39]
