[Verse 1: R.A. The Rugged Man]
Little ones listen, learn from me, see, you could be the best
But sit in your room depressed and you'll never progress
My sister Dee-Dee was born mentally retarded, she was a beautiful woman
At 26, but now she's dearly departed
This May Tenth, she suffered from a heart attack
The depletion of oxygen in the head left her in a coma brain-dead
Her internal organs was failing, her body no longer releasing excretions
My parents wouldn't pull the plug cause she was still breathing
Black, white, let's unite us, never divide us
X-Clan, Professor X died from spinal meningitis, so many like us
Are in Rikers suffering, struggling, slumming
A few years ago you was sucking your thumb
And now you're busting your gun
And dumbing, an innocent man is done
And enough of your bluffing, your thugging
And enough of the ruckus running, the roughest is coming
It's a miracle just being born, learn to enjoy life
It ain't that long, sing the words to my song, come on
[Chorus: Eamon]
Wake up, don't cry
So sad inside
I still get through the day
I'm gonna make it anyway
Wanna give up, feel like hiding
Yeah, I get down, but keep fighting
I still get through the day
I'm gonna make it anyway
Away
Away
I still get through the day
I'm gonna make it anyway
Little ones listen, learn from me, see, you could be the best
But sit in your room depressed and you'll never progress
My sister Dee-Dee was born mentally retarded, she was a beautiful woman
At 26, but now she's dearly departed
This May Tenth, she suffered from a heart attack
The depletion of oxygen in the head left her in a coma brain-dead
Her internal organs was failing, her body no longer releasing excretions
My parents wouldn't pull the plug cause she was still breathing
Black, white, let's unite us, never divide us
X-Clan, Professor X died from spinal meningitis, so many like us
Are in Rikers suffering, struggling, slumming
A few years ago you was sucking your thumb
And now you're busting your gun
And dumbing, an innocent man is done
And enough of your bluffing, your thugging
And enough of the ruckus running, the roughest is coming
It's a miracle just being born, learn to enjoy life

Wake up, don't cry
So sad inside
I still get through the day
I'm gonna make it anyway
Wanna give up, feel like hiding
Yeah, I get down, but keep fighting
I still get through the day
I'm gonna make it anyway
Away
Away
I still get through the day
I'm gonna make it anyway
