This Is Me

Oooohhhh
 This is me
 ♪
 This is who I am
 I'm still tryna make it out
 Cause I'm still just another girl from the ghetto
 There's so much in my life
 I break down 'cause I'm so deep in the struggle
 (There isn't sun in rain, there ain't joy in pain)
 Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
 From the streets to the stage of Hollywood
 Back to the blessings
 And the love in the hood
 I'm just a girl tryna make a way (ohoh)
 It gets so hard but I'll be ok (be ok)
 I don't really care what the people say
 'Cause this is me
 A mother, a daughter (daughter), a sis' to my brother (sis' to my brother)
 I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be
 And God put me through it
 'Cause He know I can do it
 'Cause this is me yeah
 Southern girl with city dreams
 Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol' dollars
 Bustin' tables while I'm tryna sing
 Hope I hit it big so I can send for my daughter
 (There isn't sun in rain, there ain't joy in pain)
