Say, get on up. Get up
Come on. We got work to do
Come on, get up
She brought a baby in this world, nobody to help her
The dude that went half on it with her straight left her
Her heart wasn't broken cause she really didn't want him
And even contemplated filing child support on him
But instead she was like, "Nah, it's cool let him leave
I'ma make sure that my baby got everything he need"
New clothes, new toys, plenty love, yeah she did it
And she ain't need the Government, no welfare to get it
Got a job, didn't pay her much, still she was on it
Waiting for the bus at 6: 30 in the morning
She was tired everyday, still focused on the grind
But every now and then she didn't make it on time
Came home, had to take care and feed him, barely sleeping
Hustling every week tryna get people to keep him
Then they called her in the office, "We gotta' let you go"
She was 'bout to break down but I'm hear to let you know
(You gotta. hold. hold on. hold on)
When life is heavy and them pitfalls hit you
And it's feeling like it ain't nobody on your team with ya
(You'll be all. alright. alright.)
Pull your inner strength out and bring the problem to an end
You gotta deal with what it is instead of what it could've been
Now she back to square one, but not looking for a hand out
A child she gotta feed and her money just ran out
Still had ambition, despite her condition
Some shady cats hit her with some crazy propositions
And normally she'd pay no attention or even listen
But the bread was fast, plus it was good, so it was tempting
But every time she saw her child it rapidly passed
Thoughts of that embarrassment brought back reality fast
And as for the few little crumbs that she had stashed
A couple days at the most that barely would last
Never knew her dad, he living but dead in her eyes
And beef with Momma eventually made 'em break ties
Haven't spoke to her in months, now she's really all alone
Pressure building up, rent due, money all gone
No friends she can lean on, struggling everyday
Now it's looking like that night life might be her only way
Now she on her last leg, done ran out of options
Contemplating putting her baby up for adoption
Crying every night, whole world out of order
With no man and no family members to support her
Now she's sitting on the bed, baby in her arms rocking
Tryna keep it quiet while the rent man was knocking
He was looking for his money, it was over and she knew it
And what she had to do to stay, she didn't want to do it
So she looked at a photograph, reached out to grab it
Cried as she carried it to the medicine cabinet
Stared in the mirror, opened up the pill bottle
And once she swallows all of them, darkness will follow
And right before she gave up the pain was uncovered
The picture that she held in her hand was her mother
Then the phone rang, a familiar voice said I saw you
Last night in a dream my daughter you need me so where are you?
Hold on, hold on
You'll beeeeeeee, alright. alright.
See some brighter days You just gotta' hold on. hold on.
Come on. We got work to do
Come on, get up
She brought a baby in this world, nobody to help her
The dude that went half on it with her straight left her
Her heart wasn't broken cause she really didn't want him
And even contemplated filing child support on him
But instead she was like, "Nah, it's cool let him leave
