Believe

(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 don't 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)
