Daphne Dannell - Perseverance (feat. The Author of T.S.) Lyrics

Sis
Let me start by saying this
He tried to keep you down
When he hit you with fist
He made you feel like nothing
So you tried to slit your wrists

See what you really needed
Was a friend to listen in
Take a moment out they day
Write a letter with a pen

Look i know you tired of trying
Carryin your family on your shoulder
Sunny days are getting short
Lonely nights getting colder

Working all these jobs
But this shit is getting hard
Addicted to retail
Addicted to resale
Drinking everyday, cuz life is really hell

Nah the story doesn't end
This is where it all begins
First you love yourself
Honey I'll be near to help

Keep a smile upon your face
See that love a leave a trace
We gone do it with the grace
See cuz this life a long race

Ermias said it best
The Marathon Continues
Perseverance on the Menu

Though her stories untold
She has a heart made of gold
Close ya eyes real quicc and listen in wit ya soul
I'm here to paint a picture of a girl lost on this world
She just wanna be loved without diamonds and pearls
Found a Prince Charming
Into him
She put her all in
No father figure around she answers when dudes calling
Now he wine and dine her
Expensive gifts is all he buy her
Then things switch
Snapping yelling called her bitch
He put hands on her
Swung so hard he lost stamina
Contacting her family wanting to get away from him
But they ignored her no plane or bus trip they can't afford it
Pregnant wit no kinda thoughts to abort it
So it's few more weekends taken a few more beatings
Finally pack her bag to get the courage to leave him
Starting from scratch but shit at least worry free
New job, new apartment working on degrees
It ain't over
Though the weight of the worlds on ya shoulder
Keep ya composure we seen this happen over and over

Keep ya spirits alive to kill them demons
Send ya prayers to god while you out on ya grind
