Against the Odds
All the times that we struggled, trying to make do till the end of the week
Boy I swear we stayed in huddles, planning out what the next move gonna be
Where's the end of the tunnel, and where is the light they sworn we would see
Boy we been down on our knees, praying
They say a family pray together stay together
Break bread together, evade the pressure
We might fight and shoot the fade together
Love hurts but it makes us better
When I strive and I put my focus on God, then I serve my family right
Even though all of the things that they try the black family will still thrive
My parents marriage was not a good model
I learned from my parents but their marriage isn't something that I wanna follow
So now I'm here stumbling trying to have something that I barely seen
See I'm tryna be, I'm tryna be yea
I'm tryna be everything they said I won't be
A husband, a father with a family that's thriving I put that on me
Put that on my rib, put that on my kids, put that on the fam put that on my
I'm tryna be everything they said I won't be
A husband, a father, with a family that's thriving I put that on me
Put that on my rib, put that on my kids, put that on the fam put that on my
Boy I swear we stayed in huddles, planning out what the next move gonna be
Where's the end of the tunnel, and where is the light they sworn we would see
Boy we been down on our knees, praying
They say a family pray together stay together
Break bread together, evade the pressure
We might fight and shoot the fade together
Love hurts but it makes us better
When I strive and I put my focus on God, then I serve my family right
Even though all of the things that they try the black family will still thrive
My parents marriage was not a good model
I learned from my parents but their marriage isn't something that I wanna follow
So now I'm here stumbling trying to have something that I barely seen
See I'm tryna be, I'm tryna be yea
I'm tryna be everything they said I won't be
A husband, a father with a family that's thriving I put that on me
Put that on my rib, put that on my kids, put that on the fam put that on my
I'm tryna be everything they said I won't be
A husband, a father, with a family that's thriving I put that on me
Put that on my rib, put that on my kids, put that on the fam put that on my
