Started writing bars about my hardships
When the bottle took my mom it was the hardest
I had to keep it moving for my siblings
Even though it wasn't right how we were living
On and on I went until my childhood was gone
Highly introverted I was always alone
I was so lost like a dog without a bone
I was steady roaming place to place without a home
I never stopped showing up
I never stopped showing love
I seen a lot growing up
Now look at me glowing up
I never stopped showing up
I never stopped showing love
I seen a lot growing up
Now look at me glowing up
After alcohol had come and done all of its damage
Had to get my mind right 'cause I had a life to manage
Could've looked at all the failures instead of the highlights
Could've been an alcoholic could've taken my life
Nothing left to give I've felt it all before
Lost the will to live laying on the floor
My family's crying out to me from the living room
We can make it through, I am living proof
I never stopped showing up
I never stopped showing love
I seen a lot growing up
Now look at me glowing up
I never stopped showing up
I never stopped showing love
I seen a lot growing up
Now look at me glowing up
Could've kept on running from my problems for a lifetime
I needed to make some changes had to get my life right
I can do it you can do it we can do it we'll get through it
Just keep it moving smoothly going with the flow like fluid
All is said and done I am number one
I am nothing less I am next to none
Life is going on I keep going strong
Giving up is wrong so I keep on glowing on
