Shirly - Fighter Lyrics

Oh Lord
Please help
All of the people you know who have been doubt
And all the trouble they have found

Jesus
Please bless
All of the people you know you can't forget
And all the struggles that were said

I remember her time bout her life when she was little
Had to sleep on the couch cuz her house had no cradle
She remember being alone in the night
Had a rule to close the light
Had a rule to shut her eyes, Why?

Cuz her parents work all day, overtime
Earning five bucks a day, both work were combined
"It's OK. I be fine", they lie
Till she she bruises on her own dad's eyes (NO)

One day her parents into her room
Told her be a good girl, go to school
And get a good grade, a good a career
So you can satisfy your parents, we'll be joys of tears

As the day come by, she had a vision
To study, to focus and make wise decision

But in her younger days
It's hard to say
And both parents getting hurt
Mom couldn't work
And she took her place
Dropping school, mom's sick, her dreams delay (What's that)

Her dreams are starting to fade away
Cuz her family comes first
With her mom's curse
Mom's with the nurse
Getting treated with the patient shirt

Now she's in trouble, tryna hurdle
All the trouble, she's got work though
To fight through the struggle

Oh Lord
Please help
All of the people you know who have been doubt
And all the trouble they have found

Jesus
Please bless
All of the people you know you can't forget
And all the struggles that were said

And she remember having depression a few years ago
But she couldn't afford a therapist, she end up taking dope
Overdose too much drug, she faint
In the hospital repeating her name

And that this is the treatment she had to pay
Thousands of dollar so they can fix her brain
But she rather have the pain than go insane
Then stop her from putting drugs in her vein

Her own job, she was fired
Hard labour, she was tired
Coming home thinking, end life a little faster

What about the people that left her
Who never came here to help cuz she was here to support them
When they were in doubt
But they weren't helping her fam

Do you think they would care that she end her life
Do you think they would care that she past the line
They won't care cuz their the type of friends that lie

Their own memories says "F you little girl
Get out of my life before I leave you cuz
B***h, you know that I'm cool
Know your demons gonna haunt you
Know your fears are f***king there too"

Her own pathway is the future, F it
Take a few steps, enjoy the moment
Take your time, one step of a minute

Nowadays, stuff overpay
Putting memory up about to fade
One day, she'll say "Hooray "
Just wait till you see that smile on that face

Oh Lord
Please help
All of the people you know who have been doubt
And all the trouble they have found

Jesus
Please bless
All of the people you know you can't forget
And all the struggles that were said

Put your faith up in the air, let me tell you
There's nothing wrong with the things that you do
You are strong, your a fierce-less tiger
They are wrong, we're a team full of fighter

Let me tell how she's doing
Is she better
Well yeah she is
Cuz she's a fighter

Remember when I told you bout her vision
To study, to focus and make wise decision

Well she focused on her future, not her complication
She's a lawyer, fighting for people like her
She's a lover, cuz she's been blessed with it
With the ability to conquer it

Cuz the things are gonna get better yet
Ignore your past, put the goals that you have set
We haven't you warned you yet, we haven't you warned you yet
That things will be better for you to wreck

Put your faith up in the air, let me tell you
There's nothing wrong with the things that you do
You are strong, your a fierce-less tiger
They are wrong, we're a team full of fighter
