Wake up


Wake up , 

Don’t give up yet , 

Don’t let depression get you down ,

Don’t let the devil hold you back , 

Don’t let your broken heart get in the way , 

Don’t let the passing of your father knock you , 

Use that to go harder ,

Use that to over come everything in front of you ,

You smart , 

You better when you at your best , 

You the best writter I know , 

You carry a lot on your shoulders, 

Everybody depend on you , 

Your children need you ,

You gotta make them proud ,

They on your team they riding until the wheels fall off , 

You know this to be true cus you put them 1st & got them back , 

Now do it again even better ,

We all can learn from our mistakes,

Don’t let this get you down ,

Greater is yet to come ,

Everybody showed you how strong you are ,

Now you gotta believe you strong ,

You gotta believe in you , 

Take that cape & wear it proud with your head held high , 

Smile big & say I’m still going ,

I’m just a young women in the getto trynna make it , 

I done seen more dead bodies then I can count , 

I’m going until I overcome this getto ,

Cus I’m just a getto child trying make ,

Taisa wake up , 

You not in jail ,

You not dead , 

You heathy ,

You have your life ,

Lets get this ,

Taisa wake up ,

This your world ,

I’m just trying make it , 

Momma why don’t you pray for your baby ,

I’m crying my eyes out , 

Pray for better days , 

Don’t give up ,

We need you , 

We love you ,

Don’t give up Taisa
