Nobody sings,
nobody knows
We are a secret,
can't be exposed
That's how it is,
that's how it goes
All from the others,
we would shout at others
Now here's a story about a woman with dreams
So picture perfect at 13 and Ebony Queen
beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile
nobody knew about her secrets so I took a rap
I could see her tears fall slow down her black jeep
setting quiet tears in the backseat
so when she asked me what would you do if it was you
couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through
I tried to trade places in the tragedy
I couldn't picture three crazy in grabbing me
for just a moment I was trapped in the pain
Lord come and take me for sick and violated
they chased and they left me even though it wasn't me
I can feel the grief thinking what your brains want that will make the pain go no
You gotta find a way to survive cuz they win when you're so
Baby please don't cry,
I've got to keep your head up
Even when the road is hard,
never give up Baby don't cry, I've got to keep your head up
Even when the road is hard,
never give up Baby don't cry, get him girl
He ain't gon' never change,
I ain't no hater
But that nigga lost in the game
After the bright lights and big bangs
He probably could love it,
but he in love with the struggles
Every day, his mind on gettin' more
And never your feelings,
he chasing millions for sure
Uh oh, now you about to have his baby
Another wild ass nigga that's gonna drive you crazy
You got too much more living to do
We're spending this for you cause you deserve more than what he's giving you
Beautiful black, precious and complicated A new millennium, we'll see if I can find she
Got her more stuff than a steal when she come through
Baby take a little more time,
love will find you
And show us the sky blue,
somebody other than me
Gonna give you everything you need
We are the secret,
can't be exposed That's how we,
that's how it goes
I'm trying to do all that I can from jump Now you losing you was choosing the wrong
man Dealt the wrong man
You was young and beautiful Lost and turned south
But you let that ign through to you I knew her since elementary
She blew a kiss to me Wrote me a note and crayon
Wanting to get with me We was kids
Now she got three kids,
they see they father ain't day now
Know who he is,
seen him last night
Homie roll an E-class,
mad cheese in the stash
Still at that beat,
dad, I bring her
Tampons and flues, just to stop flu
But those, M-I-Cs, nothing really I could do
I feel pity for you,
you ain't even his wife
Seventeen with three kids,
locked down for life
Shoulda chose me, she bought the Fiesta
Go off in the pressure,
hell nah I won't
Now, baby please don't cry
You gotta keep your head up
Even when the road is hard
Never give up, baby don't cry You got to keep your head up
Even when the road is hard,
never give up Please don't cry You got to keep your head up
Even when the road is hard,
never give up Baby don't cry You got to keep your head up
Even when the road is hard,
never give up Please don't cry
You got to keep your head up
Even when the road is hard,
never give up Baby don't cry You got to keep your head up
Even when the road is hard, never give up
Baby don't...
