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
