IN THE COLD - Humble Pie

You know what they say right?
Life's all about the struggles
That's what makes the good moments
So beautiful

I had to develop a persona
That life wasn't harder
Than the past one I lived
To never quit
To always keep that momentum up
When it seemed next to impossible
There were times I wanted to give up

Never truly felt appreciated
Or too truly understood
For wanting better
Than growing up in the hood

My momma tried to raise me to be independent
But at the end of the day
She left me to fend for myself
Just like her father
Damn

And she taught me how to work harder than I ever
Thought was possible
Got respect for that woman still
Even though we don't see life the same
All I ever wanted was love
And she gave me pain
That's tough love still
I know she meant well
Love my momma I always will
Damn

Thankful for the struggles
Thankful for all the times that
I had to hustle
I knew that I wanted better for myself
So I got up and got it
Do you see me wanting it?

I am grateful for God's protection
He truly is my savior looking down from Heaven
Every time that ever anyone tried to come at me sideways
I was protected
Holdin' on to my blessings
Knowing that I'm not the only one
Strugglin' through life lessons
We're all in this together
We're all in this together

It feels tough to weather the storm
When you're feeling alone
But know that you're never truly alone
We're all in this together
We're all in this together

Thankful for the struggles
Thankful for all the times that
I had to hustle
I knew that I wanted better for myself
So I got up and got it
Do you see me wanting it?

Something tells me that my time is coming
So I keep pushing past these barriers
Obstacles never ending
Had to give up smoking
I couldn't afford it
Spent all my money on rent
Still couldn't afford it

But I never gave up chasing this dream
I had no one to help
Just kept chasing the bag
Went to the church when I couldn't
Afford to eat
Damn it was a humbling sight to see
Made me cry real bad
And I'm a tough chick
I lost my grandma when I was six
Then I lost my Dad
That was the hardest thing I ever went through
Damn I still miss you dude
