I`m still tryna make it out
Cause I`m still just another girl from the ghetto
There`s so much in my life
I break down cause I`m so deep in the struggle
(There isn`t sun in rain, there ain`t joy in pain)
Thought I found my way out, then I`m back again
From the streets to the stage of Hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood
[chorus]
I`m just a girl tryna make a way (oh-oh)
It gets so hard but I`ll be okay (be okay)
I don`t really care what the people say
Cause this is me
A mother, a daughter (daughter), a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I`m every woman cause I gotta be
And God put me through it
Cause He know I can do it
Cause this is me, yeah
Southern girl with city dreams
Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol` dollars
Bustin` tables while I`m tryna sing
Hope I hit it big so I can send for my daughter
(There isn`t sun in rain, there ain`t joy in pain)
Thought I found my way out then I`m back again
From the streets to the stage of Hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood
[chorus]
I`m just a girl tryna make a way (make a way)
It gets so hard but I`ll be okay (oh-oh)
I don`t really can what the people say (oh yeah)
Cause this is me (this is me, yeah)
A mother (mother), a daughter, a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I`m every woman cause I gotta be (oh yeah)
And God put me through it
Cause He know I can do it
Cause this is me, yeah
No one really knows the whole truth
(the whole truth about me)
And no one`s had to live in my life
(then they would know it ain`t easy)
Made my share of mistakes
That`s alright
Cause I`m not gone be afraid no more
Cause this is me
And I won`t hide who I am
[chorus till end]
I`m just a girl tryna make a way (ohhh oh yeah!)
It gets so hard but i`ll be ok
I don`t really care what the people say (what the people really say!) (oh yeah!)
Cause this is me
A mother, a daughter, a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I`m every woman cause i gotta be (hey!)
And god put me through it
Cause he know i can do it
Cause this is me yeah Send " This Is Me" Ringtone to your Cell
