[Verse 1]
This is my story, I was a girl who came from nothing
And life in my surroundings was bad, yeah
But deep inside me, I would pray for God to guide me
'Cus I knew he'd give me strength for life
And all it's problems back then

[Hook]
Living wasn't easy
'Cus we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
They told me I was nothing
That I'd never be something
But I knew I would make it someday

[Verse 2]
Hand me down clothing, empty shelves inside the cupboard
And mama kept three jobs to make do, yeah
I'd hear her cryin', but she never stopped believin'
Three girls, light bill and the rent y'all
Livin' wasn't easy back then

[Hook]
Living wasn't easy
'Cus we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
They told me I was nothing
That I'd never be something
But I knew I would make it someday
Living wasn't easy
'Cus we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
They told me I was nothing
That I'd never be something
But I knew I would make it someday
[Bridge]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
By faith, I believed one day I'd sing and things would get better
So don't give up, no matter what it seems (Modulate)

[Hook]
