This Is Me Lyrics - Free Yourself - Fantasia Barrino

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
