Just Gotta Make It

I look at my kids wondering why we gotta struggle, I gotta get it together and find a new hustle. My dream of being stable never seems close enough, But I know I gotta make it through all this rough stuff. My life I once had is too far to get back, My mind constantly drifts no time to relax. I can feel the fingers pointing saying,"She ain't bout it", But I gotta stop this maddness regroup and go get it. Depression can't play a part it can't beat me down, Gotta make a change find foundation and hold my ground. Show my daughter there's more to life than clubbing and turning tricks, There's a life far better than drinking, smoking, and kicking it. I've seen the world and traveled many places, Seen positive people and alot of new faces. I gotta make it back to that part of life and it's direction, Don't wanna believe all there will ever be is diappointment and depression. Gotta achieve my goals no matter how far away they seem, Constanly talling myself to fulfill your dreams. Life ain't easy being a single mother and black, Can't let ignorance stand in the way and my grandma told me that. I gotta get up and take control do whatever to succeed, Know the difference between a want and a need. Change for the better more importanly for the good, Find a new hustle and get out the hood. I just gotta make it!
