| Cause she’s got a dream, but no one to call
|
| And she chases stardom like it’s just nothing at all
|
| The harder she goes, the harder she falls
|
| And I just want to be there, be there when she does
|
| She’s tryna find her soul in a part of the world that ain’t really safe right
|
| now
|
| Her mom and dad and family are struggling for money so she can’t really wait
|
| right now
|
| So she packs her bags in tears, yeah, she’s tryna escape right now
|
| Cause she looks around the class room at school and half the kids can’t relate
|
| right now
|
| Like damn, what you lookin' uncle sam?
|
| Ain’t nobody eva eva held my hand
|
| I don’t need medicaid nor food stamps
|
| I’d rather strip down and give a good dance
|
| Leave the stage and collect my cash
|
| Times are rough yea these times are brash
|
| So even if I do shake my ass… I get a pass
|
| Yo, fast forward a couple years, and now she’s in that in crowd
|
| Used to be cool with the local crew but it seems she’s got new friends now
|
| Cause she used to be broke in a honda accord, but now she’s pulling that benz
|
| out
|
| Used to be clean, but now she’s a fiend for the dollars, and the euro’s and the
|
| yens now
|
| Like damn, out in hollywood she met a man
|
| To the naked eye he’s the man
|
| But behind the scenes it’s a shame
|
| He likes to beat her up and use his hands
|
| She loves this man but she fears this man
|
| So her plan is to have no plan
|
| She prays to the skies as she crosses her hands
|
| Cause she wants to escape but she feels like she can’t
|
| So many women of the world get stuck
|
| And most of the time man it’s all on us
|
| Look what I fell up in, trying to be a gentlemen
|
| Guilty as charged, and I’m looking for a settlement man…
|
| All these are is words
|
| But what do we do when it all occurs?
|
| Most of the time we just make it worse
|
| Like we don’t help out 'til we make it first
|
| And we don’t reach back with a helping hand
|
| The girl in this story had a selfish plan
|
| Found herself with a selfish man, and she couldn’t save herself, from herself,
|
| God damn uh…
|
| And the moral of the story is her funeral is one that I helped to plan
|
| I never helped when I could
|
| So nowadays I try to help where I… can |
