Intro:
Most important thing in life is guidance from our peers right
But what if they themselves were mislead, it's like the stray leading the stray
We'll never get there
Damn
(Verse 1)
She was born to be a princess, 5 years her dad left
Didn't pay for child support, left her mother living poor
7 years she didn't fit, all the kids had made it clear
Made her cry, made her fear
And all the while her teachers peered
At 9 years old she was all alone, clinging to her ragged doll
The only thing to calm her soul, the only thing that felt whole
When she was 11 during the era of boybands
She turned to rappers, became a fan, adored them
13 now, just a teen, but felt some type of way
Talking all this nonsense bout she's not little in anyway
Grown up she feels that way, kneeling down her mother prays
That her only child and precious j**el won't run away
(Hook)
She's just a girl, in a world
All alone (uhhh)
She's just a girl, inside a girl
Who needs a mum, can't, keep going wrong, na, na, uh
She's just a girl, a little girrrrl
Who seems strong, what's going on
She's just a girl, a little girl
No time to grow, rush, and now she knows
(Verse 2)
14, first kiss, boyfriend
First fight, in high school
Became a violent outcast
At 15, she lost it
No longer a virgin
For her it was too early, made her cry cause she was hurting, she needs some help
At 16 years old, she was hanging with wrong people
Fell in love with the bad guy, started smoking things that he gave her
Couldn't see no wrong it all, and didn't graduate the next year
When she reached the big 1-8, the same fool chose to impregnate her
But he didn't stay, he didn't want to be a father
She was forced to raise the child with her grandmother
Now it's 2 lives, 2 mouths, 4 eyes to care for
From Pre-school to college, now there's so much for her to grind for
Only 19, she's stripping
Shaking for some dollars
Promised fame at 20
Flew up to Vegas
Sold a dream and now she knew it
Breaking down she's gonna lose it
Tender age of 21, you couldn't count the d** she's been using
(Hook)
She's just a girl, in a world
All alone (uhhh)
She's just a girl, inside a girl
Who needs a mum, can't, keep going wrong, na, na, uh
She's just a girl, a little girrrrl
Who seems strong, what's going on
She's just a girl, a little girl
No time to grow, rush, and now she knows
(Bridge)
She feels like she's an adult so she chooses how she lives
Her mother seems confused and every night she's filled with fear
This story needs an ending that won't bring her down to tears
But the cycle never ends and all her hopes could disappear
(Hook)
She's just a girl, in a world
All alone (uhhh)
She's just a girl, inside a girl
Who needs a mum, can't, keep going wrong, na, na, uh
She's just a girl, a little girrrrl
Who seems strong, what's going on
She's just a girl, a little girl
No time to grow, rush, and now she knows
(Outro)
It's such a shame really
This whole, situation
A young girl, so innocent and precious
A mother abandoned so early on, lost
Media showing the wrong images
Lack of information
It has to be something right
These can't just be girls
They're worth more than that
And we just have to do better
That's it
