Her Life...


J-o-e

Recommended Posts

Thought she was cool, going to clubs underage

Had a life destined for her to be on the stage

A beautiful girl with ambitions in her life

Didn’t want to be stuck just being a housewife

She wanted more that than, so she went out

I can’t blame her, she didn’t know what it was about

One dark morning she got up the wrong side of the bed

Looked at her covers and all she saw was red

She’s a lost girl with scents of coke still on her nose

A drunken girl but nobody wanted to impose

She lived like a rock star but had a body like a girl

Wanted to be a model with life of twirls and swirls

Then one dark night she was raped in an alley way

Can’t blame anyone because it’s an ordinary day

Refused to herself not to even tell a single soul

Her heart turned black, darker than coal

So she tried to stay strong and keep to business

Couldn’t think about court or even the witness

She didn’t even know she was about to give birth

I guess that god’s gift is a curse couldn’t get worse

And when time grew her belly got a bit bigger

She had a gun and was urging herself to pull the trigger

Collapsed in the bathroom with the baby about to come

Wiped the tears from her face, ashamed in what she become

Mother came in an hour later because of all the screams

She kicked her out on the street, now what does that mean?

She tried to sell a bit of crack but that’s whack

Lost her voice so she couldn’t do that demo track

And she’s still trying to find away for her baby

No home no job at times it seemed too crazy

What could she do? No man and she was all alone

No one to phone because all she had was her own

No welfare no share and now she’s getting stressed

She can’t even go home to get a suitably dressed

Blood stains calling shames still all over the clothes

Still sleeping outside concerts to hear dope shows

As she holds her baby in her arms she cries aloud

Screams “Mum I only wanted to make you proud”

She can’t hope so then she turns to a bit of dope

Smokes a bit of weed and then her backs to the rope

She’s swinging and swinging but can’t hit anything

Promised to herself that this rape wasn’t a fling

She wouldn’t go to the cops, she already had two strikes

And the dirty cop was the one who raped her, she disliked…

I know when you feel you’ve had enough

You think your not that tough and things look rough

Suddenly she got a part time job and went to school

Hated her parents for the time that they said she was a fool

Got herself a place where her and her baby could stay

Left the city where all them memories could go away

She tried to think of how to tell the child

That the father she didn’t see, it seemed to wild

We all know all she needs is a bit of money

Don’t mean to sound all rude and a bit of funny

But her baby was the cutest thing too date

She picked herself up before it was too late

From a sea sick operation to her living well

It just shows that god cares about us in hell

Even if the cops don’t, we don’t care any more

She slapped anyone who called her a whore

She toughened up and going through what she did

Was glad to be raising and helping her kid

And as to the end of this horrific story

She lives the rest of her life taunting in glory

Her baby is healthy and she loves her to much

In a way she thanks the man that she had to touch…

What ya'll think, this is going to be on my second album "Alleged Depedneces" - Is that title cool enough?

"One dark morning she got up the wrong side of the bed

...Then one dark night she was raped in an alley way

Can’t blame anyone because it’s an ordinary day" - these parts just threw me off. It's like the fluency of the story broke up for me. Or are these 2 different instances?

Other than that, story is deep.
