Jamia Simone Nash Lyrics
"Raise It Up"

No father figure in the house
And I'm wondering how I'm gonna work it out, Oh
My friends keep on tellin' me how I don't need that man but they don't really understand

There's far too many pressures in reality
Dealing with the pain, stress and poverty
And I gotta be myself because there's nobody else for me, no

(Hang in there with me) Sometimes it takes a different love to raise a child
(So don't give up) So don't give up
(When pressures come down) Sometimes it takes a different kind of truth to make you smile
(So raise it up) So raise it up
(Hang in there with me) Sometimes we need another helping hand to show the way
(So don't give up) So don't give up
(When presures come down) Sometimes it seems impossible and that's why we pray
(So raise it up) We raise

[HOPE] Seems to be nothing left for me
Momma's gone, daddy didn't wanna be
And now I'm all by myself, wonderin' where is love
Or should I just give up, you know

Life falls down on me, cuts into my soul
But I know i got the strength to make it trough it all
Cause I'm still standin' tall
Breaking throgh this walls
I'm gonna give my all

[HOPE] Feelin' like a motherless child
Hankered into my soul, it's bringing me down
Can't find my smile on a face of a motherless child
I'm gonna break down these walls
Gonna give it my all ya know
yeah yeah yeah yeah

(Hang in there with me) Sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(So don't give up) So dont give up
(When pressures come down) Sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make a smile
(So raise it up) So raise it up
(Hang in there with me) Raise it up
Sometimes it takes another helping hand to show you the way
(So don't give up, when presures come down)
[HOPE] Sometimes it seems impossible, that's why we pray
SO RAISE IT UP
