Tough Lyfe

by Kari   Aug 2, 2005


My best friends mad at me
My boyfriend and I are fightin
Dead beat jail bird for a dad
Moms b*t*h*n
I aint lippin
Grades are slippin
The knife is drippin
I keep grippin
They keep trippin
Now mamas sippin n sniffin
Now I gotta start trickin
The men start tippin
My babys now kickin
Mamas “man”s now hittin
I gotta be up outta here
Before my life turns into one big tear
I gotta get my life in the right gear
So I don’t get stuck here
I don’t know where to go
I gotta go to my grandmas house
She wraps me up in her heart of hearts
She takes me in
Shes gonna help me out
I jus gotta make sure I don’t lash out
I gotta keep my head high like a scout
My grandma is my hero
She took away all my sarrow and turned it into a brighter tomorrow
We went out shoppin for my baby girl to come
Together we had so much fun
Now sittin in this hospital bed all these nurses lookin at me like im dumb
Now im feeling numb
My baby girl is bout to come
now shes here an I gotta pay the sum
I don’t kno why I was thinkin like I was
I was doin jus like my mama does
Me and my baby are making the best of our lives
I hope my mom can get it together soon, before she dies
When I look into my baby girls eyes I see clear blue skies
No more do I drown in those old terrifying cries
Now I am living to make it to the high rise.
