Growing up I never had much money.
I lived in a house for seven years with no electricity.
No lights, no fans, no refrigerator, no T.V.
But I always kept faith in God.

Hoping one day I'll get a better life.
Maybe a big house, two cars, kids and a wife.
But I'm still young and hard times is all I face.
I feel alone in an excited space.

Like times I had no soap to take a bath.
No one knows the limits I went at that stage.
Or when I had no food to eat.
I had to fast those days and save the little I had in case those days did repeat.

Times where I had no money to go to school.
I'm not a fool, so I had to walk for my education.
So I can get my grades and certifications.
And only God knows that I'm trying my best.

Help me Lord in these hard times I face.
And bring me to my glory in a successful place.
