Fighting against the world / on my own

Verse 1

One girl looking out the window because she's sad

deep down she's all alone because she really miss her dad

she tries to tell everyone around her how she feels

she was a smart A student but now poppin pills

looking for hope there is no one there to comfort her

going back home being abused by her mother

stuck in a world where no one understands

she is use to being order around and giving demands

she goes in her room and cries herself to sleep

she tries to talk but she can't even hear herself speak

It's her against the world that she's fighting everyday

looking up and wondering why her sky is always gray

Trying to find a way out but she's trapped in

trying to fight against this world and fighting from within

Chorus

It's you fighting against your world that don't understand unique young girls

deep down you gotta be strong you gotta fight for a right and fight against

the wrongs

Verse 2

One girl ran away cause her father raped her, her mother is dead no one out there

to save her, she's all alone and she's feeling scared knowing deep inside that no one really cares

Now she's out on the streets begging for money she had a beautiful voice and was going to be something

To handle her pain she's out there smoking crack, wishing that somebody out there had her back

To earn money she's out there sleeping around, wishing that she could get over the ups and downs

Waking up wanting to die

Waking up wanting to cry

Happiness is far away that she can't even reach

mad at the world because she's always feeling weak

A better tomorrow because things are getting harder

cast in the joy and get rid of all the sorrows

Chorus

It's you fighting against your world that don't understand unique young girls

deep down you gotta be strong you gotta fight for a right and fight against

the wrongs

Verse 3

A single mother out there with three kids

all alone raising kids with benefit

struggling from job to job just to pay the rent

she feel like giving no one coming to her defense

she goes back home to her mobile home

thinking to herself how did everything go so wrong

So young trying to make it and getting judged by others

got pregnant at fifteen and abandoned by her mother

waking up wanting to hide from the world that she comes from

getting tired of motherhood

too bad it just begun

she tries to toughen up and keep a smile on her face

deep down she wants to run and forget about her place

she wants her kids to be happy and to be strong

doesnt want anyone to hurt them or do them wrong

just hold your head up and sing a new song

this world is challenging but I made it on my own

Chorus

It's you fighting against your world that don't understand unique young girls

deep down you gotta be strong you gotta fight for a right and fight against

the wrongs
