Tekster: Fantasia Barrino. Free Yourself. This Is Me.

This is me
(This is me)
(This is me)
This is who I am
(This is me)

I'm still tryna make it out
'Cause I'm still just another girl from the ghetto
There's so much in my life
I break down 'cause I'm so deep in the struggle

(There isn't sun in rain, there ain't joy in pain)
Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
(From the streets to the stage of Hollywood)
Back to the blessings and the love in the hood

I'm just a girl tryna make a way
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
(Be okay)
I don't really care what the people say
'Cause this is me

A mother, a daughter
(Daughter)
Sister to my brother
(Sister to my brother)
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be

And God put me through it
'Cause he know I can do it
'Cause this is, this is me, yeah

Southern girl with city dreams
Got a sack full of clothes and just a few ol' dollars
Bustin' tables while I'm trying to sing
Hope I hit it big, so I can send for my daughter

(There isn't sun in rain, there ain't joy in pain)
Thought I found my way out then I'm back again
(From the streets to the stage of Hollywood)
Back to the blessings and the love in the hood

I'm just a girl tryna make a way
(Make a way)
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
I don't really can what the people say
(Oh, yeah)
'Cause this is me
(This is me, yeah)

A mother, a daughter
(Mother)
A sister to my brother
(Sister to my brother)
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be
(Oh, yeah)

And God put me through it
'Cause he know I can do it
(He know I can do it)
'Cause this is, this is me, yeah
(This is, this is me, yeah)

No one really knows the whole truth
(The whole truth about me)
And no one's had to live in my life
(Then they would know it ain't easy)

Made my share of mistakes, that's alright
'Cause I'm not gonna be afraid no more
'Cause this is me
And I won't hide who I am

I'm just a girl tryna make a way
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
(Oh yeah)
I don't really care what the people say
(What the people really say)
'Cause this is me
(Oh yeah)

A mother, a daughter
A sister to my brother
(Sister to my brother)
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be

And God put me through it
'Cause he know I can do it
('Cause he know I can do it)
'Cause this is, this is
(Oh, this is me, yeah)

I'm just a girl tryna make a way
It gets so hard but I'll be okay
I don't really care what the people say
What the people really say
'Cause this is me

A mother, a daughter
A sister to my brother
I'm every woman 'cause I gotta be
