Now here's a story bout a woman with dreamsSo picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queenBeneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smileNobody knew about her secret so it took a whileI could see a tear fall slow down her black cheekSheddin' quiet tears in the back seat; so when she asked me"What would you do if it was you?"Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live throughI tried to trade places in the tragedyI couldn't picture three crazed niggas grabbin' meFor just a moment I was trapped in the pain, Lord come and take meFour niggas violated, they chased and they raped meEven though it wasn't me, I could feel the griefThinkin' with your brains blown that would make the pain goNo! You got to find a way to surviveCause they win when your soul dies
