Teacher asked a young girl what you wanna be when you grow up
She said I wanna be a superstar and shine on the red carpet
If i can be whatever i want, Ah, something like my favourite singer
Baby grew up too fast, all those years gone by
She don't play with dolls no more, want money for the luxury bags
Sexy role models only good girls gone bad
Boyfriend's boring now, hang out with the big boys
She slammed the door and left home
regardless of everything she's been told
[Chorus]
She's suicidal, she wanna give up on life
Can't take it no more, all these tricks and lies
She said she was born to shine, spread her wings and fly
She wants that fame, by any means
But she got lost along the way
Beautiful face on a perfect shape
She thought big things come overnight
It's a cold world outside young girl try to look older now
Night life, paint the town red
Shorty play dirty now, ready for the nightfalls
At the right place at the wrong time
Messing with the wrong folks
She couldn't read between the lines
Till she met mister c**aine
Shorty don't rock the boat, few lines acting cool yeah
False promises, round and round she goes
Now she's lying in this cold room, dope feen and depressed
Abused and dying deep inside, sorrow no word can express
Can't keep lying to herself, illusions, no longer impressed
Your mother said, when will you be back
