IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST
By maile •
Growin' up in house with
7 girls and 1 boy
my parents couldn't always afford to buy each of us a toy
while strugglin' as the economy was goin' down
my moms smile never turned into a frown
dad was always working late
but what kept my family togetha' was faith
he worked his hardest to get us what we wanted
ma' shoes ma' clothes ma' home
yup he bought it
and mom was always teaching us right from wrong
she took us to church, preached us God's word
and made us sing Sunday school songs
she was always at home takin' care of us
she was like a best friend
someone you can trust
she could never leave our side
and now I cant sleep since the day she died
i love and miss her and want her back so much
my stomach aches as if I hadnt ate lunch
now we're all grown up
all 8 kids.. yup
it all happened so fast
as if one minute we were just babys
and then it had just past
everyones now doin' their own thang
hopefully ma' bro doesn't join a gang
with so much depression
i cant get ma skoo right
i have to start the next setion
coz i started a fight
cant get things right
i think im losin ma mind
but i have to seek the light
coz i cant take theres no way to rewind
