We Gon A Make It - Peace Of Mind

I’m waking up and getting read cause I’m late for school

I pour the milk and dig the roaches out my cereal

Right now it’s really hard what we going through

Is mom gonna come home? Dad what we gonna do?

I see the pain in your eyes I know it’s hard for you

I want to cry and just hide is all I want to do

You pick me up and hold me tight right next to you

Tell me it’s gonna be alright we gonna make it through

But everyday at school I’m just feeling like the fool

I can’t afford the latest clothes or the hottest shoes

I’m eight years old and all that I want to do

Is get the new G.I. Joe before nobody else do

I start crying when I’m in my bed and just lying

It tears me up inside at night when my parents fighting

I’m just trying just to make it to the silver lining

But this is what my pops told me every single night he said

We gonna make it, yes we gonna make it

We gonna make it, yes we gonna make it

It’s Friday afternoon it’s just another weekend

And I don’t want to see my mom I don’t like her new boyfriend

It’s like every single day I start wondering

Will they get back together, will we be a family again

I asked my dad now just the same question

He just got quiet shook his head and never said nothing

That weekend I said the same thing to my mother

But she said nothing either now sometimes I wonder

If they use me just to get back at one another

I’m stuck in the middle of this war so I duck for cover

How can anyone love me if they don’t love each other

It all got changed in a fourth grade summer

They finally got divorced my whole world crumbled

Now is it really over now is what my mind wondered

So the court gave my mom full custody

And as my pops kissed me goodbye this what he said to me

Bridge

Baby boy don’t you worry about a single thing

Baby boy daddy takes care of everything

Baby body don’t you know that you’re gonna make it

Here I am it’s like six years later

And I struggle every way now to make it as a teenager

And every day I wake up I just want to change the

Way that I be living cause it’s killing me I hate the

Stuff that I’m dealing with can’t I ever just escape the

Life that I been given and it’s effects my behavior

But I started forgiving on the day I met my Savior

And I started living on the day that I gave ya

All my old pain and I watched it all change

Call on Your name while I watched my old ways

Disappear along with these fears and old shame

You wiped away the tears that used to fall like cold rain

And as I stood there free and clear of all blame

And as I stood there a new creation I became

My Father in heaven hallowed be Thy name

And all that time this is what You was saying
