text: A boy to raise at a young age
  No help from him, but shes alive
  To be made strong, but all alone
  Must be a pain, but shes alive
  The year was 1975
  That night crickets cried
  They knew what was goin down
  Three girls travel a long country road
  And one said she thinks its time
  This baby wants to come right now
  A boy to raise at a young age
  No help from him, but shes alive
  To be made strong, but all alone
  Must be a pain, but shes alive
  I was scufflin going to school, I was scufflin working at night
  And you know what? I truly believe
  And thats why I tell a lot of parents, single parents
  Dont tell me what God cant do
  I made sure you had
  I never felt like you should be deprived of anything
  If a man didnt want to take care of his child, you move on
  And thats what I did, I moved on
  A boy to raise at a young age
  No help from him, but shes alive
  To be made strong, but all alone
  Must be a pain, but shes alive
  A boy to raise at, at a young age
  No help from him, but shes alive
  He always wanted to be a father but he never took care of you
  He aint have no money, he aint have nothin
  How can you care about somebody
  And you never give the welfare of them?
  A boy to raise at a young age
  No help from him, but shes alive
  To be made strong, but all alone
  Must be a drag, but shes alive
  A boy to raise at a young age
  No love from him, but shes alive
  To be made strong, but all alone
  Must
  And I knew I had to go that road by myself
  Shes alive
