I see you once a month we make the same trip
We take the same bus, in the back is where I sit
We travel to the C Block then go our separate ways
We sit at different tables but we in the same place
I visit with a homie while you visit with your man
He asks about the kids and that job your supposed to land
You tell him Jr.'s gettin older and he started playin sports
Babygirl took her first step on the front porch
Job search aint going well but your mom is helpin out
Your boys are tryna holler but thats not what I'm about
He doesnt even trip cuz your right there by his side
Holdin it down for the family while he's locked up doing time
Continue conversation till the clock hits 2
Then its back to the bus and I know its hard for you
You cry the whole way back and you think that I dont notice
I know it isnt easy but you gotta stay focused
(Hook)
Homegirls in the struggle surviving everyday
This song goes out to you and for you I sit and pray
This life aint ever easy and I know that your fed up
But you gotta stay strong and you gotta keep your head up
Homegirls in the struggle surviving everyday
This song goes out to you and for you I sit and pray
This life aint ever easy and I know that your fed up
But you gotta stay strong and you gotta keep your head up
Loungin at the pad flippin channels to pass the time
I get a phone call from an old friend of mine
She asks how I been doing cuz yeah its been awhile
Then she schools me to the fact that she's on her second child
Not knowing what to do situations gettin worse
Contemplatin about abortion cuz she struggles with the first
I give her my advice and say you need to think twice
Abortions not the answer and what he did wasnt right
He left you all alone to raise babies on your own
Gave you false hopes cuz he just wanted to bone
Promises of marriage
And a baby carriage
Put illusions in your mind
Love really had you blind
I hear the pain thats in your voice
Cuz you made the wrong choice
We learn from our mistakes
And these crazy heart breaks
Moneys running low and you're out of food and diapers
But I know you'll hold it down cuz your strong and your a fighter
(Hook)
Homegirls in the struggle surviving everyday
This song goes out to you and for you I sit and pray
This life aint ever easy and I know that your fed up
But you gotta stay strong and you gotta keep your head up
Homegirls in the struggle surviving everyday
This song goes out to you and for you I sit and pray
This life aint ever easy and I know that your fed up
But you gotta stay strong and you gotta keep your head up
Women of today we go through many situations
But this songs for you no matter what your facin
The single moms struggling working 9 to 5
Attending school at night just to get ahead in life
The ones that keep the family strong when the man does wrong
The ones who prostitute to support their drug abuse
The victims of domestic violence always seeing sirens
The ones in high positions stressing their decisions
The young homegirls trying to make it in this world
The ones with 2 jobs tryna to pay the monthly bills
To the ones who coming up dont pick your body over skill
No matter what you're goin through you gotta stay strong
And if you need some inspiration then listen to this song
Loads will get lighter and the days will get brighter
Everything will be alright so hold your head high
Tomorrows another day so whipe those tears away
