L.I.F.E.

[Hook: Lil' Mama] L is for the liars that have surrounded me I insecurities my head down in these streets F, my future there isn't one E Eternal hope And this is my life [Verse: Lil' Mama] I wake up every day to the same old foster mother I ain't got no pictures of my mother She was a crack fiend nothing like Pac mother She didn't make a difference even though she could've Mama I'm ashamed Ashamed of my life Pappa probly sold me twice On a late night stopped by And look in my eyes Bags from the tears that I've cried And the people who lied Telling me that this is my place Phony tried to smile In my face But I should have known something Was weird Smiled when she opened the mail Kept a nice mink on her back Meanwhile I got a goose & my pockets 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 [Hook: Lil' Mama] [Verse: Lil' Mama] I'm pregnant by a dude & he not 16 But I like his style & his whip is mean My mama told me to find a man to take care Of me & he does buy me things but he beats on me I go to her for a little advice So I show up with a black eye Telling me to know my place so I stay Waiting for my body phase Telling myself it's just a little pregnancy phase When all in reality I'm being discourage & disrespected And under the pressure And I don't really blame the man I blame my mother for not teaching me the different types of man Life never understood or stand my side of story being that it's so consist 18 years And 9 months developing raised in a prison I guess I'll never make a difference [Hook: Lil' Mama] [Verse: Lil' Mama] Born akward with nothing to offer's the least Of my problems Appearance like deja vu Stomach is starving Free lunch, breakfast, eat eventially I departed So ashamed of a life that was started I asked God if he can take the pain away He made me in denial of every word I pray, every day It's the same old no talents I'm feeling like my life is unbalanced no telling what tomorrow gon look like Yea right wrapped up in a fast life for a sudicial act Why is my life set up for a failure I can care less what the people say to ya'll We break out in rage venting all the hurt inside Who am I to tell you what you fail to realize the voice that you hold Within you The voice that you are The Voice Of The Young People!
