(This song is dedicated to everyone out there in a struggle,
I've been there)
Growing up in a shelter
Not alot of food to eat
All I wanted was a warm home
At night I'm afraid to sleep
Never really knew my father
My mom says I have his name
But I dont really want to know him
I'm sure he feels the same
Momma didn't feel responsible
Had problems all her own
Didn't know who to talk to
When I felt all alone
But I still believe in me
I've got to believe in me
(I believe)
If I dont believe in me
Then nobody will, nobody will believe
Brother hustles on a corner
Ended up at NYC
(Damn jay)
All he wanted was a good life
And a descent family
Sister started prostituting
And nobody gave a damn
(How can no body care about my sister)
Must be hard having two kids
When you can barely stand
Momma didn't feel responsible
Had probles of her own
(I'll do it by myself)
Didn't know who to talk to
When I felt so alone
(Stand up)
But I still believe in me
I've got to believe in me
(I believe)
If I don't believe in me
Nobody will, nobody will believe
How can you stand when
The world is against you
You dont know where to go
Who to trust with your life
Don't get no love from your family
No one's there they don't care
If your dead or alive
But I do believe in me
I've got to believe in me
If I don't believe in me
Nobody will, nobody will believe
If I don't believe in me
Nobody will, nobody will believe
(Jason, Jessica I love you both
Mom I forgive you)
