Jamia Simone Nash Raise It Up Lyrics

No father figure in the house
and I'm wondering how I'm gonna work it out
My friends keep on telling me how I don't need that man
but they don't really understand
There's far too many pressures in reality
with dealing with the pain and stress of poverty
And I gotta be myself because there's nobody else for me,
No

(Hang in there with me)
Sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(So don't give up)
Dont give up
(when pressures come down)
some times it takes a different kind of dream to make you smile
(So raise it up)
Raise it up
(Hang in there with me )
Sometimes we need another helping hand to show the way
(So don't give up)
when the pressures come down
Sometimes it seems impossible and that's why we pray.
So raise it up
we pray

Seems to me, nothing left for me
Mama's gone, daddy didn't wanna be
And now I'm all by myself
Wondering where is love or should I just give up?
You know life falls down on me
Cuts into my soul
But I know I got the strength to make it through it all
Cause I'm still standing tall
breaking through these walls
I'm gonna give my all

Feeling like a motherless child
pain cuts into my soul
It's pinning me down
can't seem to find my smile
on the face of a motherless child
gonna break down these walls
Gonna give my all
yeah, yeah, YEAH

(Hang in there with me)
Sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(So don't give up)
Dont give up
(when pressures come down)
some times it takes a dream to make you smile
(So raise it up)
Raise it up
(Hang in there with me )
Sometimes we need another type of hand to show the way
(So don't give up)
when the pressures come down
Sometimes it seems impossible and that's why we pray.
So raise it up
