This For All The Females Out There
Yeah Yo, Yo, Yo
[Verse 1]
A Yo I Used To Know This Girl
Whose Name Was Marlene
She Was My Homie's Daughter
But She Never Got To Know Her Father
See When She Was Barely Born
He Got Locked Down
And After Only A Week Of Being Released
He Got Shot Down
No Pops Now
For Little Marlena
I'll Never Forget A Face
When She Was Told
You Should've Seen Her
So Innocent & Puzzled
With A Lonely Eye
Its Just Beginning Of A Struggle
She Was Only Five
Now She's Older Much More Colder
But Still A Baby
Only 12 Raising Hell
Driving Her Mother Crazy
Doing Horrible In School
She Just Wanna Be Cool
Wearing Skimpy Clothes
And Hanging Out With Hoes
Trying Her Hardest To Get Love & Attention
From All The Boys
Not Knowing That To Them
Her & Her Friends Are Just Toys
Keeps Getting Burned
But Never Learns
So Her Yearns
For Something She Never Had
Tried To Do What I Could
But Like She Always Said
I'm Not Her Dad
[Hook]
I Wish That I Could Fly Away
And Take You To A Higher Place
Show You There's A Brighter Day
Just Be Strong & Do You
And It'll Be Okay
I Wish That I Could Fly Away
And Take You To A Higher Place
Show You There's A Brighter Day
Just Believe In Yourself
And It'll Be Okay
[Verse 2]
I Knew Of.. This Other Female
Whose Name Was Tatiana
Her Life Too
Was Filled With Nothin' But Drama
When She Was Only 10
She Got Molested By An Older Cousin
But Kept Everything Inside
Never Told No One Nothin'
I Guess From Being Depressed
She Ate Alot And Got Chubby
And Some Boys Made Fun
And She Thought She Was Ugly
With No Self Esteem
By Her Mid-Teens
She Searched For Escape
Somethin' Fierce Like A Fiend
Got Hooked On Drugs
Hung With Crooks & Thugs
Met One Who Sold Drugs
And Swore She Found Love
He Didn't Give A f** About Her
All He Did Was Use Her, Abuse Her
And Make Her Feel Like A Loser
But For Some Reason
No Matter How Bad He Did Her
When ? Had To Get Her
She Wouldn't Leave Him
She Was A Victim Of Her Own Fears
10 Years
Drowning In Her Own Tears
Man I Wish She Could Hear Someone Say
[Bridge]
Girl You The Bomb
You Don't Need No Man
Its All About You
f** Em If They Can't Stay True
They Got You Going Crazy (Crazy)
But Hold Your Head Up
And Be A Strong Beautiful Lady
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Yo Its A Man's World That We Livin'
But It Wouldn't Be sh**
Without The Strength & Beauty Of Our Women
Ain't No Way You Could Put A Price
On What They Worth
More Valuable Than The Sun, Stars, Moon & Earth
And For All Those With No Pride
Hold Your Goals High
Cause You Could Be So Much More
Then Just Someone's Bride
Do Your Own Thing, Seek Knowledge
Help You Dream
Ain't No Reason
For You To Have A Low Self Esteem
No Matter Who You Are
Or Where You're At
Or What Happened In Your Life
We're All God's Children
And We All Live In A World As Trife
So Check Yourself
Cause Please Believe
Ain't No Guy Gon' Respect You
If You Don't Respect Yourself
Respect Your Body & Your Mind
Never Let A Man Degrade You
Cause If You Let Us
We'll Fake You Till We Break You
And This One Here Is
For All The Daughters, Sisters And Mothers
Female Friends & Lovers
Always Remember That..
[Bridge]
Girl You The Bomb
You Don't Need No Man
Its All About You
f** Em If They Can't Stay True
We Got You Going Crazy (Crazy)
But Hold Your Head Up
And Be A Strong Beautiful Lady
