Im just a girl tryna make it


Tryna live Tryna breathe Tryna get by everything that be coming my way Whether it sex, drugs, and lies I'm tryna be the girl that I can be So I won’t die Not that whore out in the street Or the chick that just got beat By the one she loved oh so dearly I'm just a girl tryna make it… Tryna overcome death Tryna move every step Tryna live like there is no tomorrow Tryna be all that I can be I wanna be a mother I wanna be a wife I wana be a nurse But I just gotta get right Right for who else Right for myself I'm just a girl tryna make it… I gotta do good So much is understood I gotta do what I gotta do If I gotta kill me or I gotta kill you I will never be played like a fool I'm just a girl tryna make it…
