Today I survive the world on my own
because of my family
I’m able to make connections with many people in the world
because of my family
sometimes I’m happy and sometimes sad
because of my family
But today I’m where I am because of my family
Sometimes I ask myself why God gave me such a family
why do I deserve such a family
a family of problems day and night
nothing happens and conclude alright
the first minute it’s peaceful and the next it’s a fight
But today I’m where I am because of my family
I’ve been through difficulties
living the life I’ve never wanted
treated like I’ve never existed
while others are treated
like precious gold and diamond lifted
from the mine and elevated
I had father, I had a mother
but why did I end up living with my grandmother
why did I end up sleeping with an empty stomach
why did I feel like a load on my grandmother’s shoulders
why did I deserve such a treatment from my own flash and blood
Can anybody hear me crying
where is the shoulder for me to cry on
who do I blame
me or my family
but today I’m where I am because of my family
I never stopped my positive thinking
I kept on hustling, fighting and pushing
as I could see the star shining in my eyes ahead of me
all I was striving for was my education
living a better life in future
and I knew that was determined by persisting
And today I’m where I am because of my family
