Raise It Up Impact Repertory Theatre (Ft. Jamia Simone Nash)

[Verse 1: Charles Mack]
No father figure in the house
And I'm wondering how I'm gonna work it out
Oh, my friends keep on telling me
How I don't need that man
But they don't really understand

[Verse 2: Charles Mack]
There's far too many pressures in reality
With dealing with the pain and stress and poverty
And I gotta be myself because
There's nobody else for me, no

[Chorus]
(Hang in there with me)
Sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(So don't give up) So don't give up
(When pressures come down)
Sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make you smile
(So raise it up) So raise
(Hang in there with me)
Sometimes we need another helping hand to show the way
(So don't give up) So don't give up
(When pressures come down)
Sometimes it seems impossible and that's why we pray
(So raise it up) We pray
