In This World

In this world today can't say it's safe today. Because you'll 
never know which way to go. You 
try to make some friends but don't know where to began so 
what can i do or what can i say. 
You try to speak your mind but somebody don't won't you to
 say a word. Got to raise your 
kids got to teach your kids and tell everybody that they lost
 their daddy. You try to struggle 
to get through this world. But don't know if your gonna make
 it. You drop out of high school, 
never tryed to finish school. Didn't get no degree in anything. 
So you decided you might as 
well go and sell the ring. Everybody in the world always got 
something to say. But never try 
to give you a hand and tell you gurl that it's ok. You cry everynight 
thinking about how are 
you going to feed your kids. When they are coming up to you telling 
you "momma why are 
you crying,momma when will we get to live in a house like the rest
 of the folks. You just tell 
them to look to god and he will direct our pass. But your still thinking, 
why me in this world, 
why is it happing to me, Just because i'm in this world.
