[Verse: 1 isuppose]
Ruby thought it was really cool, to ditch school
She was only sixteen, always actin' a fool
But let's go back a couple months when everything was different
She would study all night 'cuz going to college was her mission
She had a few friends, but was a loner for the most part
A sweet girl with a fake smile to cover up her broken heart
She walked trough the school halls, nobody ever noticed her
It's like she didn't exist and that made her heart go colder
Her parents gave her everything, her life seemed perfect
But deep down inside, Ruby was feeling worthless
She was tired of being lonely, tired of being neglected
She just wanted to be happy and for once to be accepted
Ruby was an angel but her inner self was screaming for help
And it's hard to get to heaven when guided by demons
But she started acting wild, and using her mother's make-up
Wearing short dresses and her breast size were a-cups
So she stuffed her bra with tissues, started wearing heels
She would look in the mirror and smile 'cause finally she feels like a real woman
And so now she's telling lies, she would lie about her age and party with older guys
That gave her all the attention, made her feel like a queen
So she started having s** and doing d** like a fiend
She slept with every guy she met
Rumours quickly got around
At school they called her a s*ut, now she's known around the town
So she started feeling depressed, she would stay up at night scared
Praying to the Lord to wake her up from her nightmare
But God never responded so she started cutting herself
Feeling like she's trapped in hell, with nobody there to help
Put the blade up on her skin, brings comfort from within
She's disgusted by her sins, fighting a war she'll never win
Now she's battling her demons wishing d**h arrived soon
It's been a few weeks, and she's locked up in her room
And now she found out she's pregnant
And she's mentally exhausted
So Ruby started punching her stomach until she lost it
Now she's crying all night, instead of smiling in her arms
Her baby is dead inside of her, she's living life with no guard
A life without morality, hypnotized by reality, victimized by her agony, criticized by her family
And I know you can relate
'Cause demons come and it's hard to hide from 'em
So I know every girl, has a Ruby deep inside of 'em
Whether you're sad or lonely, you're feeling like the world's against you
Or being judged by others and backstabbed by your friends too
This is for the thick women who hate looking in the mirror
Feeling ashamed of the way they look
Living life with the fear of being rejected
This is for the girls who've been affected by rape or domestic violence and the ones who've been disrespected
By a man who you trusted
The one person you gave your soul to was the same man that treated you like sh** and controlled you
This is for the girls that make mistakes and the ones that need help
And before asking God for forgiveness you must forgive yourself
Suicide won't solve anything so put the gun and knife down
'Cuz at the end it's up to you to want to turn your life around
I know about the pain, ' cuz I used to live in hell
And I know alot of guys that know Ruby aswell
The tough guys, the gangsta's, the drug dealers, the thugs
Livin' the street life but all they really want is love
So they bang just to fit in, and disrespect women
And Ruby is bomb as f** so soon enough they'll all give in
We live a life of sin with the pressure to act a certain way
Just to be accepted by society but I say
[Verse: 2 isuppose]
You stop caring what people think, ain't no need to act tough
If you fall to the ground you gotta get your a** up
'Cuz while most people sat around waitin' for a hand
I picked myself up and proved that I was a man
I felt like Jesus carrying the cross walking through the sand
Sacrificing my life for the ones I love I hope you understand
That nobody's perfect
I used to frown at my reflection, my insecurities ate me up
They made me sad, they made me question
The true strength in my heart
So my weakness had me stressin'
'Till I learned to value myself and perfected my imperfections
I been suicidal
I've been abusive
I've been an addict
I've neglected bibles
I've turned to music and expressed my pa**ion now I'm changin' the world and all it took was a strong mind
And now Ruby looks in the mirror, and sees her beauty for the first time in a very long time
And I promise that you can change
'Cuz if Ruby changed her life around then you can do the same
[Outro: Unknown]
Unless we can help turn her around, to see that it's more worth living than dying, that there is something to live for, she probably will complete the act of suicide, at some point
