Believe

I know I could be on TV

Mama, Imma make it you just gotta believe me

If you ain't been broken, don't tell me that this is easy

I was on my own, but my God didn't leave me, leave me (uh)

That's my ride or die

I jumped out the window, like Poppa look I can fly

Had to wipe the tears, I promised I wouldn't cry

Suddenly I just feel so alive

I know you can feel the pain

I know you can feel the shame

I don't even call no more and I promised I wouldn't change

I just had handle some things, I went on my own

Now I got some battle scars I never wanna show

If it wasn't for the prayer

I would not have made it, I keep pulling back the layers

Couldn't catch a brake, well who said that life was fair (well who said that life was fair)

I know I, I just can't let it go

I had too much pride

I had times I ain't wanna be alive

I had days where I lost my mind

But God took me home

Now I'll never be alone (um)

Pressure on my back

I know someone want me gone (um)

Since '96, Sir I can't remiss

Do you see me

Mama, Imma make it you just gotta believe me

If you ain't been broken, don't tell me that this is easy

I was on my own, but my God didn't leave me, leave me (uh)

That's my ride or die

I jumped out the window, like Poppa look I can fly

Had to wipe the tears, I promised I wouldn't cry

Suddenly I just feel so alive

Mama I can make it if I try

Mmmm Imma put my best foot forward when I'm stepping off the roof 'cause I can fly

I promise it's better for you and I

I told you I would make it on the radio

Even when nobody else would ever play me though

We was down, but now it's up, the only way to go

I'm so glad I get to see that this the way we grow, yeh yeh yeah

Mmm I hope I make it out alive

Help me put my pride aside

You can look me in my eyes

And see I need you by my side

I need you to say to me

That you still pray for me

I need you to hold me down

Don't you give up on me now

Do you see me

Mama, Imma make it you just gotta believe me

If you ain't been broken, don't tell me that this is easy

I was on my own, but my God didn't leave me, leave me (uh)

That's my ride or die

I jumped out the window, like Poppa look I can fly

Had to wipe the tears, I promised I wouldn't cry

Suddenly I just feel so alive

You can't see what I see, no laser

Ima meet Em, Ellen, Bey, that's major

This my time, in control, this the Matrix

I ain't even speak, I was down, I left

Now it's time to whip back, dominatrix

I don't ever listen when they tell me I'm inpatient

Cause they wasn't with me when the living room was vacant

New shawty, digging up my past but that's ancient

New shawty got greener grass, nice pavement

Now she wanna tell me that we wanna buy a Villa (hm)

I don't trust that, guard up armadillo (hm)

I don't even know what you look like without concealer
