She's Alive

A boy to raise at a young age

No help from him, but she's alive

To be made strong, but all alone

Must be a pain, but she's alive

The year was 1975

That night crickets cried

They knew what was going down

Three girls travel a long country road

And one said she thinks it's time

This baby wants to come right now

A boy to raise at a young age

No help from him, but she's alive

To be made strong, but all alone

Must be a pain, but she's alive

I was scufflin' going to school, I was scufflin' working at night

And you know what? I truly believe

And that's why I tell a lot of parents, single parents

Don't tell me what God can't do

I made sure you had

I never felt like you should be deprived of anything

If a man didn't wanna take care of his child, you move on

And that's what I did, I moved on

A boy to raise at a young age

No help from him, but she's alive

To be made strong, but all alone

Must be a pain, but she's alive

A boy to raise at, at a young age

No help from him, but she's alive

He always wanted to be a father, but he never took care of you

He have no money, he have nothing

How can you care about somebody

And you never give the welfare of them?

A boy to raise at a young age

No help from him, but she's alive

To be made strong, but all alone

Must be a drag, but she's alive

A boy to raise at a young age

No help from him, but she's alive

To be made strong, but all alone

Must-

And I knew I had to go that road by myself

She's alive
