OutKast - She's Alive lyrics
[OutKast - She's Alive lyrics]
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 goin' 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 want to
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 ain't have no money, he ain't have nothin'
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 love 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
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 goin' 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 want to
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 ain't have no money, he ain't have nothin'
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 love 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
