Lyrics: She’s Alive
Album: Speakerboxxx / The Love Below
Artist: Outkast
 

A boy to raise at her 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

Dre:
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 her 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

Ms. B:
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 her 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 her young age
No help from him but she’s alive

Ms. B:
He always wanted to be a father but
he never took care of you…
He had no money, he had nothing…
How could you care about somebody
and you never did the welfare of them?

A boy to raise at her 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 her 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 down that
road by myself

She’s alive
