accumulating crumbs til you get a meal on your plate

all you think about is your payday

walkin' through the hood wit cha head up

tryin' to make a come up cause you fed up

you wanna go from ole e to don p

plannin' out how your future's gon' be

so you playin' for keeps

and you makin' ends meets

i was in your shoes before

on the streets gettin tossed

way before

living single and set it off

but god came across my life

and molded me

into the queen that i was supposed to be

and my moms stayed close to me

through the rough times

through the tough times

when i used to bust rhymes

on the streets in new jerz

i live for hip hop

i'm in it for life

it don't stop

keep your heart on your dreams

and make them come true

control your destiny

it's all about you

you can make it through

so don't stop

kid

i'll see you at the top

keep your head to the sky

we can all make it if we try

we can all make it if we try

keep your head to the sky

we can all make it if we try
