Let It Out (Feat. Wanya Morris)

The alarm clock rung, momma woke her out the bed
 She's gettin' dressed for school
 Puttin' barrettes in her head
 An honor roll student real smart, that's what they said
 Every morning when she left
 Mom would cook her grits and eggs
 Pops worked two jobs to bring in the bread
 Momma stayed in the kitchen and kept her well fed
 Now here she go
 Went to meet her friends at the bus stop
 On the avenue, that's when the old Cadillac dropped
 The man that was drivin' snatched her up around 8 o'clock
 While her friends and the bus driver waitin' down the block
 No one heard her screamin'
 He turned the bass up a notch
 She was tampered with
 Second floor in an abandoned spot, no telephone around
 So she couldn't call the cops
 He threw her in the bathroom
 Made sure the door was locked
 All she was thinkin', "Why me?" and "Will it stop?"
 All she was thinkin', "Why me?" and "Will it stop?"
 It's a damn shame
 Damn shame, that someone
 That someone would want to mess with you
 And you just can't get them out your mind
 Try to replace bad times with smiles
 Let it out
 Out right now
 I know it's hard to talk about
 You gotta keep going on with your life
 Letting it out
 The school bell rung for the first hour of school
 Her teacher called her moms 'cause she thinks she's skippin' school
 But if only they knew
 What was really goin' on
 She's cryin' for your help
 While y'all talkin' on the phone
 The teacher's on the wrong subject sayin' that she think she grown
 Somebody call the police
 Damn callin' up Tyrone
 So her mother filed a report on her own
 This is the description that she gave what was known
 Fifteen
 She was last seen
 Standin' on the corner
 Eatin' ice cream
 At the bus stop
 On 10th Street and Milly Ave
 Just a few feet
 From the spot
 Where she stayed
 Pink mini skirt
 And french braids
 Hundred-ten pounds
 What she weighed
 5 foot 2
 Eyes blue-grey
 Damn shame, that someone
 That someone would want to mess with you
 And you just can't get them out your mind
 Try to replace bad times with smiles
 Let it out
 Out right now
 I know it's hard to talk about
 You gotta keep going on with your life
 Letting it out
 Now back to the abandoned spot
 Where she's tryin' to pick the lock
 So he threw her in his 'lac
 Ridin' with the doors locked
 Drove her through the woods that was right around the block
 Dropped her off at the hospital
 In the parking lot
 The school bell rung
 For the end of a class
 At the same time she was runnin' in the flash
 To go and call her mother, but her mother isn't there
 And when she finally seen her, speculation filled the air
 Her momma don't believe her
 She's keeps callin' her tricks and whores
 Sayin' I told you 'bout them older men before
 Her father didn't neither
 Afraid to face the sticks and stones
 And now she's searchin' for the grace to carry on
 It's a damn shame
 Damn shame, that someone
 That someone would want to mess with you
 And you just can't get them out your mind
 Try to replace bad times with smiles
 Let it out
 Out right now
 I know it's hard to talk about
 You gotta keep going on with your life
 Letting it out
 Let it go
 Let it go
 I know it's hard
 But you should let it go
 Life goes on and you should know
 If you let it go
 Let it go
 Let it go
 You should let it go
 I know you'll make it, if you let it go
 Life goes on and you should know
 Let it go
 Let it go
