Lyrics A Bed of Roses (feat. 4 Hero) - Jody Watley

Job's gone, rent's too, I don't know what I'm gonna do
Baby's crying, baby's daddy always lying
A childhood flashback, a little kid with a dream
Can this really be? What happened to my dream?
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
Single mothers, incarcerated brothers
Loveless, hopeless, working to turn it all around
Government cutbacks, war kills, you can't take it back
Families left wondering, what happened to our dream?
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
It is said that only the strong survive
And remember how good it is to be alive
Well, around me, I see pain and poverty
And it's hard to imagine that thing of being all that I can be
But I visualize and I see the light that shines
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
Life ain't always a bed of roses
You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
