Tarsha Vega - Diamonds And Monsters lyrics

First things first, ay yo she didn't fit in She knew that she was different and she couldn't pretend That she hadn't been abused by some messed up dudes When her daddy said goodbye, step-daddy moved in Unwanted hands under the sheets up in the sleepless nights Where she's afraid to dim the lights and monsters creep in the night And she keeps her mouth shut 'cause no one would ever believe Fifteen and petrified of her dreams, c'mon Keep on healin' all the scars in your heart You keep on realin' as they tear you apart Don't let them take away your pride and dignity 'Cause scars will heal themselves eventually Her mama got a drawer diamonds and pearls Gettin' dusty like the Rhodes they call the fender Now mama won't remember if they gone through November Baby pockets up the rocks and she take on the world like Rahzel be boxin' beats Girl ya boxin' the streets Ya sell the stones high as hell and lose the shoes from ya feet Turn a trick not for treat, why did heaven deceive? And every face look like a monster end the treachery, uh You gotta Keep on healin' all the scars in your heart You keep on realin' as they tear you apart Don't let them take away your pride and dignity 'Cause scars will heal themselves eventually Na na na na na [unverified] They put her in da juvenile facility Where dey question da mental competency No one there to pay the tab in 30 days she's free Anutha Runaway who's prey up in the belly of the beast Oh girl, time just can't erase Oh girl, we find angels in the strangest place In a hopeless space in a lifeless case Ay yo, I see my life reflected in the lines on ya face Ay (Ay yo) Ay yo And it's a waste Keep on healin' all the scars in your heart You keep on realin' as they tear you apart Don't let them take away your pride and dignity 'Cause scars will heal themselves eventually Somewhere beyond the sky you and I Live with diamonds and monsters Without a care in the world Somewhere beyond the sky you and I Live with diamonds and monsters, yeah, yeah
