| She abandoned me
|
| She don’t live here anymore
|
| Now the pain is gone
|
| I’m moving on
|
| I’m so glad to see
|
| She don’t live here anymore
|
| And all I have is love
|
| To keep me strong
|
| The smell of coke and the, feel of rope
|
| She reminded me of what could of been
|
| She used to ease the rage by, taking a blade
|
| And pushing til' the blood soaked her skin
|
| And any means to, stop the dreams
|
| Memories playing over in her mind
|
| There was no escape, she was reliving rape
|
| And lost and hurt and all kinds…
|
| Growing as a young girl, in a home of much abuse
|
| Growing as a young child, where pain replaced the truth
|
| Growing as a young girl, where love was known as hurt
|
| Growing as a young child, she was made to feel she had no worth
|
| Repeat Chorus
|
| Cancer ate the hair from mama’s head, 4 infants dead
|
| Never could she see past the misery
|
| All alone in the broken home
|
| Grief overwhelming their history
|
| And means to, stop the dreams
|
| They hurt so loud
|
| They couldn’t hear her cries
|
| No escape filled with so much hate
|
| She screamed to god almost every night
|
| Growing as a young girl, in a home of much abuse
|
| Growing as a young child, where pain replaced the truth
|
| Growing as a young girl, where love was known as hurt
|
| Growing as a young child, she was made to feel she had no worth
|
| Repeat Chours
|
| Chink Santana’s Verse:
|
| Mama forgive us for lying
|
| Just trying to make it through the struggle
|
| Forgive us for dying
|
| We never meant to cause trouble
|
| And I know it was hard
|
| When every time you’d give your heart
|
| It gets battered and scared
|
| Now you mad at the lord
|
| Daddy show us the way
|
| I know it gotta be another
|
| Convinces for something
|
| Replace the tricking and cussing
|
| With some kissing and hugging
|
| Erase the visions when you sasso
|
| Are you hitting his mother
|
| How the f**k could you love her
|
| And its all that you taught us
|
| I had to break a nigga, face a nigga
|
| If you f**k with my daughter
|
| Heaven and hell
|
| I swim and balling an ocean to water
|
| I wouldn’t rest 'till I called him
|
| But then, I looked in the mirror
|
| And his face got clear enough
|
| How could we love him when we causing him pain
|
| Shorty remind me of my momma
|
| Saying daddy you’ve changed
|
| Don’t want my daughters thinking
|
| Crazy with range
|
| Niggas was cool cause the way they was raised
|
| So I’m turning the page
|
| And I’m sorry for the pain my black queen
|
| We had the truth rearranged my black queen
|
| And you so precious girl
|
| The lord will guide you
|
| Once you recognize the diamond inside you
|
| Shorty you can move on
|
| Repeat Chorus |
