Job's gone rent's too
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Baby's crying baby's daddy always lying
A childhood flashback
A little kid with a dream
Can this really be
What happened to my dream
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
Single mothers incarcerated brothers
Loveless hopeless
Working to turn it all around
Government cutbacks
War kills you can't take it back
Families left wondering
What happened to our dream
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
It is said that only the strong survive
And remember how good it is to be alive
Well around me I see pain and poverty
And it's hard to imagine
That thing of being all that I can be
But I visualize and I see the light that shines
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up get up
Get over it be strong
