[verse 1]
Remember that girl
That used to be three, well now she grown up little kates 16
And when she goes to sleep no one talks in her dreams
But she gotta wake up soon man her life and her dreams
She holds a picture of her dad and cries through the night
Takes a clean razor blade man give the vein a slice
Swiss a rock in the pipe she trynna lift up her life
She having s** with grown men for the wrong price
Now her lifes full messed up, nobody seem to care
She hate the way she looks so she cutting of her hair
Growing up she once said "mum i wanna be a model"
Doesnt hesitate to grab a xannie from the bottle
Cause she doesnt understand why daddy died that night
And she never understood why no one took his life
Her eyes are so dark now everythings so cold
Little kate pregnant at 16 years old
Now who the baby daddy?
Kate dont even know
Try and numb all the pain so she shooting up the coke
And before to long kate had a habit, slip through her hands before anyone could grab it
[Chorus]
[verse 2]
5:45 on a saturday night
Along come a baby with them big blue eyes
And the sound of his cries made her wanna change her life
Never gonna relapse its cleaning up her life
Now its time to go to school get an education
You can do it for your baby all it takes is patience
Working late nights, hard work for the money
Being broke as a joke she never found it funny
Now her son grew big now, he learning how to talk
Fly little dude air max when he walks
See she had to built a carry on off the streets she slept on
The bond between mum and son never broken, so strong
She thinks back, (thinks back) when no one gave a sh**, you did it for yourself kate
You did it for your kid
Hard times, no more
Brave heart, no war
No one should ever see all the sh** you saw
[Chorus]
[verse 3]
Yea, anyone going through the same sh**
Man just keep your sh** together
All them single mums
Kids growing up without a dad
Man you can do it, just believe
Family portrait, pretty happy, lets go back to that, portrait, pretty happy, uh, portrait, pretty happy, pretty normal, lets go back to that
