[verse one]
I`m still tryna make it out
Cause i`m still just another girl from the ghetto
There`s so much in my life
I break down cause i`m so deep in the struggle
(there isn`t sun in rain. there ain`t joy in pain.)
Thought I found my way out then i`m back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood
[chorus]
I`m just a girl tryna make a way (ohhhohhh)
It gets so hard but i`ll be ok (be ok)
I don`t really care what the people say
Cause this is me
A mother, a daughter (daughter), a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I`m every woman cause I gotta be
And god put me through it
Cause he know I can do it
Cause this is me yeah
[verse two]
Southern girl with city dreams
Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol` dollars
Bustin` tables while i`m tryna sing
Hope I hit it big so I can send for my daughter
(there isn`t sun in rain. there ain`t joy in pain.)
Thought I found my way out then i`m back again
From the streets to the stage of hollywood
Back to the blessings
And the love in the hood
[chorus]
I`m just a girl tryna make a way (make a way)
It gets so hard but i`ll be ok (ohhhohhh)
I don`t really can what the people say (oh yeah)
Cause this is me (this is me yeah)
A mother (mother), a daughter, a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I`m every woman cause I gotta be (oh yeah)
And god put me through it
Cause he know I can do it
Cause this is me yeah
[breakdown]
No one really knows the whole truth
(the whole truth about me)
And no one`s had to live in my life
(then they would know it ain`t easy)
Made my share of mistakes
That`s alright
Cause i`m not gone be afraid no more
Cause this is me
And I won`t hide who I am
[chorus (all the way out)]
I`m just a girl tryna make a way (ohhh oh yeah!)
It gets so hard but i`ll be ok
I don`t really care what the people say (what the people really say!) (oh yeah!)
Cause this is me
A mother, a daughter, a sis to my brother (sis to my brother)
I`m every woman cause I gotta be (hey!)
And god put me through it
Cause he know I can do it
Cause this is me yeah
