Beaten and bruised i have felt the pain
Love lost with nothing to gain
As a child i was mentally tortured
As a teen he broke in my room with laughter and hate
Teenage romance gone to late
Lost in this world with so much hate
Job in and job out
I lived the life of a single mother and father
Trying to raise my only daughter
The state came and packed her clothes
The people say she is just a hoe
Cancer stricken I have felt the deepest pain
Pregnant at 15 I have seen the rain
Best friends die and brothers too
They all point back who are you
When I leave this earth with nothing left
I want to be remembered for everything they forget
Come and gone the people in my life
I have felt in my back a great big knife
People are true as far as they can
But when it is time to break they throw you like a dirty pan
I have waited a lifetime for just one man
Dear god where can I find him in this great big land
When all is said and done
All I want is just one little scrap of desire before i leave this land
