[Lil' Zane] I know a lot of times, it seems like it gets hard. But you gotta always keep faith, and always look forward. You never know what the future might bring. You never know what's ahead.
[Lil' Zane] You got the attention of all the fellas so the chickens are jealous They at your toes when it rains tryin to hold you umbrella The new meat in town, all the niggas wonna get down When getting no play they frown, you on they bad side, they callin you bitch now Sophomore year, two years to go All you tryin to do is get your first car, and make doe Got a part time job, and the man callin your bluff Always out to cheat us if you love wasn't enough Problems in the home, daddy dearest done turned abusive He got your moms scared, so thoughts are skippin out are useless How can you get them grades, when you can't keep your focus 16 and getting hit this drunk nigga think he Joseph Givin you black eyes so in school you wearin glasses Friends ask what happin but believe behind your back they laughin You show no worry but the pain don't hide Baby girl wipe your eyes, Im here so don't cry And it's
[Chorus]
[Lil' Zane] You turn no fire till you lies, tellin me I was safe I can't take it no longer father open the gate I seen all I can take, child killin's and rape The same niggas that I used to love was showin' me hate My harts lyrics and my spirits through you body and soul Makin you feel the way I felt when these rhymes was wrote My antidote a little weed smoke, time and thought Makin me come up wit that raw shit, hurttin your hart I know you feel me cause you know things I'm sayin is true-
Etta James lyrics
