Lyrics

Jamia Simone Nash- Raise It Up performers unknown

No father figure in the house

And i'm wondering how

I'm gonna work it out

Oh

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

The stress and poverty

And i gotta be myself because

There's nobody else for me

(Noo)

(Hang in there with me)

Sometimes it takes

A different kind of love

To raise a child

(So don't give up)

So don't give up

(When pressures come down)

Sometimes it takes

A different kind of dream

To make you smile

(So raise it up)

So raise

(Hang in there with me)

Sometimes we need

Another helping hand

To show the way

(So don't give up)

So don't give up

(When pressures come down)

Sometimes it seems impossible

And that's why we pray

(So raise it up)

We pray

Seems to be

Nothing left for me

Momma's gone

Daddy didn't wanna be

And now i'm all by myself

Wondering where is love

Or should i just give up

(Ya kno)

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 bringing me down

Can't find my smile

On the face

Of a motherless child

I'm gonna break

Down these walls

Gonna give my all

Ya know

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhhhh

(Hang in there with me)

Sometimes it takes

A different kind of love

To raise a child

(So don't give up)

So don't give up

(When pressures come down)

Sometimes it takes

A different kind of dream

To make you smile

(So raise it up)

So raise it up

(Hang in there with me)

Sometimes we need

Another helping hand

To show you the way

(So don't give up)

(When pressures come down)

Sometimes it seems impossible

That's why we pray

So raise it up
