thinking about the things i've been through
you'll think it's to much for a young girl to go through
my friends tell me i should keep my head up
try to focus on school and get my grades straight
so i could go on to college
just to show my family that i could make it
with or without anyones help
the best of all is that i have friends to help me up
when i fall and can't get up
friends to talk to me when I'm feeling that I can't make it
encourage me to stay in school instead of going in the wrong direction
get that education that's gonna help me in the future
That education that's going lead me to be somebody
In this world of pain and sorrow, most of all struggle
Just have a positive attitude and you can make it
Make it as far as you want to go, accomplish everything you want to
Things may come up to try to stop you
But your friends let you know how hard you've worked for everything you got
They let you know that you've made it to far to stop here
I've worked hard for everything I've got
If I work even harder I could make it to the top
