She's Alive

A boy to raise at a young age
No help from him, but she's alive
To be made strong, but all alone
Must be a pain, but she's alive

The year was 1975
That night crickets cried
They knew what was going down
Three girls travel a long country road
And one said she thinks it's time
This baby wants to come right now

A boy to raise at a young age
No help from him, but she's alive
To be made strong, but all alone
Must be a pain, but she's alive

I was scufflin' going to school, I was scufflin' working at night
And you know what? I truly believe
And that's why I tell a lot of parents, single parents
Don't tell me what God can't do

I made sure you had
I never felt like you should be deprived of anything
If a man didn't wanna take care of his child, you move on
And that's what I did, I moved on

A boy to raise at a young age
No help from him, but she's alive
To be made strong, but all alone
Must be a pain, but she's alive

A boy to raise at, at a young age
No help from him, but she's alive

He always wanted to be a father, but he never took care of you
He have no money, he have nothing
How can you care about somebody
And you never give the welfare of them?

A boy to raise at a young age
No help from him, but she's alive
To be made strong, but all alone
Must be a drag, but she's alive

A boy to raise at a young age
No help from him, but she's alive
To be made strong, but all alone
Must-

And I knew I had to go that road by myself

She's alive
