Back On My Own Two Feet

Friday, Friday, Friday September 29th, 1995 A young lost child was born in a small cold empty room She was born in a world of confusion Now she's at the age of 15 And still don't know what to do At the age of 6 she was raped by her uncle And her cousins that don't even love her But don't worry she still forgives them And saved a place in her heart for them One month, one month before being born her daddy left Now she wonders how it would be with him by her side In 96' her motha left both her n her sista With them thinkin' that their aunt was there mother When all along she was abusing them like crazy At the age of 13 she got her first charge for the first time ever Now she's sacered to death hoping God can forgive her But why should he forgive her Why should he forgive her Why should he forgive her when a few months down the lane at the age of 14 she picked up another charge She ask the Lord what can he do for her Up til' this day she hasn't gotten het answer Cause up til' this day, up til' this day she's still getting into trouble Smokin' pot, blacks, cigarrates and all that crap Fightin people like it aint nothin' Not goin' to school cause of her past history in class But on the bright side, on the bright side she has high hopes for herself And when things go wrong She learned how to get up, pray about it, shake it off, and just keep it movin' Things might not get better any time soon But she don't let any thing hold her back And just let everything be a learning experince No matter what cause I'm coming back Yeah I said it, I'm coming back And I'm coming back on my own two feet

The Lord forgives all who ask. Just ask and open your heart to Him, but watch out for men.
