Paroles: Outkast. Speakerboxxx / The Love Below. She's Alive.

A boy to raise
At a young age
No help from him
But she's alive
To be made strong
But all alone
Must be a pain
But she's alive

The year was 1975
That night crickets cried
They knew what was going down
Three girls travel a long country road
And one said, "She thinks it's time
This baby wants to come right now"

A boy to raise
At a young age
No help from him
But she's alive
To be made strong
But all alone
Must be a pain
But she's alive

{I was scufflin' going to school
I was scufflin' and working at night
And you know what, I truly believe
And that's why I tell a lot of parents
Single parents, don't tell me what God can't do
I made sure you had
I never felt like you should be deprived of anything
If a man didn't want to take care of his child
You move on and that's what I did, I moved on}

A boy to raise
At a young age
No help from him
But she's alive
To be made strong
But all alone
Must be a pain
But she's alive

A boy to raise
At, at a young age
No help from him
But she's alive

{He always wanted to be a father
But he never took care of you
He have no money
He have nothin'
How can you care about somebody
And you never give the welfare of them}

A boy to raise
At a young age
No help from him
But she's alive
To be made strong
But all alone
Must be a drag
But she's alive

A boy to raise
At a young age
No help from him
But she's alive
To be made strong
But all alone
Must

{And I knew I had to go that road by myself}
She's alive
