Young Girl

Location

 

She was sixteen, with a confused soul

All of her dreams were glitter & gold

He took hold of her morals, she did let go

Letting the threads of her virtue hit the floor.

Saturated with the lust of a man

And the girl he described as a hoe

She said to herself, Young Girl you need this

This world is bulimic, taking you in & spitting you out

What will it take for you to see this?

Promises of dollars would take her mind away

Her celebrity would grow & grow as with time.

A beautiful girl now eighteen,

Within years she became a dope fiend, because the reality

That love wouldn't find her, with her legs open love would blind side her

So money make her “CUM” would become her motto

Her meal ticket, the body that rivals a model

They loved her, but yet she still felt pain

She’d go off & get her fixing from the man selling Cain.

 

Young Girl you need this

This world is bulimic, taking you in & spitting you out

What will it take for you to see this?

Twenty years from now her face is known

Yet not for her riches, her glitter, nor her gold

And not for her body which she sold for the junkie she became

As a poor young soul, youthful in vigor

Yet mind deteriorated, bodies in harm, and her mind humiliated 

The drug that once loved her, now intimidates

Scared to leave it, she’s bound to its fate

Young Girl you need this

This world is bulimic, taking you in & spitting you out

What will it take for you to see this?

What would it take for her to see, that she went down the wrong rode

Which she couldn't go back, she looked at a mirror w/ a vertical crack

In that reflection her and her crack, she injects it in

Yet her reflection doesn't

Her reflection rises when she doesn't

The mirror’s crack disappears, and the beautiful face of a young girl takes its place

Begging the girl to return back to her while her dreams were still alive

And not just a blur, the girl began crying at the words she was relaying

As the girl continues, All the while saying

Young Girl you need this

This world is bulimic, taking you in & spitting you out

What will it take for you to see this?
