Living wasn't easy 'Cause we didn't have much money But I knew I would make it someday They told me I was nothing That I'd never be something But I knew I would make it someday This is my story, I was a girl who Came from nothing & life in my surroundings Was bad. but deep inside me I would pray for god to guide me 'Cause I knew he'd give me strength for life And all it's problems back then. Hand me down clothing Empty shelves inside the cupboard And mama kept three jobs to make do I'd hear her cryin' But she never stopped between Three girls, light bill and the rent ya'll Livin' wasn't easy back then Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh By faith I believed one day I'd Sing and things would get better So don't give up no matter what it seems
