GROWTH OF A STRUGGLE TRIBUTE TO NIKOLE&MY SISTAS

GROWTH OF A STRUGGLE TRIBUTE TO NIKOLE&MY SISTAS
Posted By: Jordan McSwain on March 23, 2006






For all the setbacks and let downs you seen in your life
God will bless you take you outta that shadow and show you the light
As you walk down the streets of death and deception
You realize you could be preganat or strung out like some of rest is
So many ways to fail in the Ghetto that we live in
It's sad when you see children killing children
Stand Strong! keep your head high as the sky
Never ask God why you see people die
Because its only a test to see if you have the heart to survive
Girl dont give up!! your almost outta the devil's borough
This is a tribute to my black women in struggle because your ALL MY HEROES!!!

Tribute to all my black sistas keep ur heads up!! and to nikole ur very special dont ever forget that. 1 love
