Lyrics

CHORUS:

Might not be rich oh no oh
Oh oh no oh
Hard times never quit oh no oh
Oh oh no oh
But (I know that this much is true)
No matter what your going through
You still got to love you


It was September 17th, 19 something.
Two people had an accident, while humping
something slipped in, I slipped out
9 months later, yea then about, 9 more months later

My daddy was long gone, my momma was on some
I just wanna party with my friends Im so young
Teenager, running with wild teens made her

Not think about the day that she gave birth
And do I hate her? yes and no, no and yes
my Grandma held me down so I was blessed
Grand dad too, I cant forget you

From a boy to a man, you walked me through
anything I wanted, got t
hat too
so how can I complain, yea life cheated but I still won the game.

CHORUS

I was the skinny kid and always with some glasses on
you know how long skis are? My feet were bout that long.
And I never had name brand, no Jordans,
All I had were K-Mart specials to throw on

And to top it off, folks would pick
when they saw me driving my Volkswagen Rabbit
with smoke coming out, and the clutch going out,
but I would not trade my past for no amount

Cause thats what built me
I stayed tenacious, and worked to make it
nobody can hate it.
Material things don't define this man and they never did
cause they never said that

Winners quit, cause winners don't
so a Winning attitude is what I flaunt
look no matter what I go though or how it be
Im'a stay strong and Im'a stay, loving me.

CHORUS

Yea, See thats how life is
everybody born with a different situation
go though a different situation
but God makes no mistakes, no no
You have got to love yourself anyway

See the devil, he is after all of us
and he wont win, unless you let him
Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself
and then you will respect yourself
and if you respect yourself, you will allow your self to get far in life.
