L.I.F.E.

L is for the liars that have surrounded me
 I insecurity, my head down in these streets
 F my future, there isn't one
 E eternal hope and this is my life
 I wake up everyday to the same old foster mother
 I ain't got no pictures of my mother
 She was a crack fiend, nothing like pot mother
 She didn't make a difference, even though she could've
 I'm ashamed, ashamed of my life
 Papa tried to sell me twice on the late night stop by
 Look in my eyes, bags from the tears that I cried
 And the people who lied
 Telling me that this was my place
 Phony tried to smile in my face
 But I should've knew something was real
 Smile when she open the mail
 Kept a nice mink on her back
 Meanwhile I got a goose and my goose's got patches
 I'm so mad, this is me, I'm so hurt, this is me
 So why should it be but I'm a be alright though
 L is for the liars that have surrounded me
 I insecurity, my head down in these streets
 F my future, there isn't one
 E eternal hope and this is my life
 I'm pregnant by a dude and he's not 16
 But I like his style, his whip is mean
 My momma told me to find a man to take care of me
 And he does buy me things but he beats on me
 I come to her for a little advice
 She tolds her something's up with a black eye
 Telling me to know my place
 So I stay, wait for my body phase
 Telling myself that it's a lil' pregnancy phase
 When all in reality I'm being discouraged
 And disrespected and under depression
 And I don't really blame the man
 I blame my mother for not teaching me the different types of man
 Life never understood its stand
 My side of the story being that it's so consistent
 18 years and 9 months developing, raising in prison
 I guess I'll never make a difference
 L is for the liars that have surrounded me
 I insecurity, my head down in these streets
 F my future, there isn't one
 E eternal hope and this is my life
 Born orphans with nothing to offer is the least of my problems
 Parents like déjà vu, stomach is starving
 3 months pregnant idiotically I departed
 So ashamed of a life that was started
 I ask God if He could take the pain away
 He made me in denial of every word I pray
 Everyday it's the same old no talent
 I'm feeling like my life is unbalanced
 No telling what tomorrow gonna look like, yeah right
 Wrapped up in a fast light for suicidal act
 Why is my life set up for failure y'all
 I can care less what the people say to y'all
 We break out in rage, venting all the hurt inside
 Who am I to tell you what you failed to realize
 The voice that you hold within you
 The voice that you are, the voice of the young people
 L is for the liars that have surrounded me
 I insecurity, my head down in these streets
 F my future, there isn't one
 E eternal hope and this is my life
