Song Description

It's about people i've met

Lyrics

Hey little sister, standing on the corner all alone
Finally made it to the big city, escaped from home
She's a lap dancer, sells her body on the side
Tell's me how she's working her way through school, got no time to moralize

Don't tell me how it's done
Everything in life is won
Through tears and patience, we struggle, we keep the faith
Keep hoping for a better day
We keep the faith,
Somehow it's gonna work it's own way

He's got two daughters, and a son on the way
Working construction, his wife works too, it's still hard to make the bills or ends pay
Still has a dream, got the skillz with the rhymes
Tells me how he's coming around again, I wish him all the best in my mind

Don't tell me how it's done
Everything in life is won
Through tears and patience, we struggle, we keep the faith
Keep hoping for a better day
We keep the faith,
Somehow it's gonna work it's own way

The sun is rising, feel the heat warm my bones
Out there there's a new day comin, you got to fight for what you own

He's a truck driver, been a hundred times coast to coast
Tells me how he's saving up to buy his own rig, but the money slips away like a ghost
He likes the bottle, maybe gambling on the week end
No matter how much his wife bitches to him, he's gonna go and lose it all again

Don't tell me how it's done
Everything in life is won
Through tears and patience, we struggle, we keep the faith
Keep hoping for a better day
We keep the faith,
Somehow it's gonna work it's own way
