She's Lost

She's lost.

The "Baddest Bitch" searching for a "Boss"
She'll do anything to get him, no matter the cost.

Even if it's selling,

Her soul.

To get her wrist cold,
and some Gucci tops to go with her skinny jeans.
All because they have been telling her
she was beautiful since she was knee high.
Beautiful people deserve beautiful things.

So she began to accumulate a treasure chest.
full of meaningless watched, bracelets, and rings.
She'd never speak on the drama they'd bring.
 
We've failed her.
 We didn't give her the proper tools
so the streets just screwed and nailed her.

17 and pregnant, diapers before diplomas.
She signed a birth certificate before signing mortgage papers.
She owns a life, but she's not homeowner.

Another urban soldier, fighting to escape poverty.
Daddy can't help with her real estate
because he's busy being state property

She doesn't even know the meaning of self-worth
Loving the crew without loving herself first.

How can you blame her?
No home training, so niggas trained her.
Disrespected and neglected,
Never knew to correlate the dick with danger.

We associate this stigma to that enigma.

We need some help here.
