[Chorus]Heaven only knows(heaven only knows)Heaven only knowsHeaven only knows(heaven only knows)Heaven only knowsMy storyWent from dancing on tabletops to making labels popFor the love of the money so I could cock everything from icy rings to dropTops and now I'm on topBut to look back on my reality happy I stoppedLetting niggas ruin my world impressed by niggas trying to school this babyGirl I was fucking too early15 knowing money was greenPuffing too early, body big, not grown knowledge'd up and too earlyThought it was cute to flirt with older kats up in they faceDidn't have a daddy so I put a daddy in his faceMy mami was my shelter but I broke freeLearning that the streets was harder that I thought they'd beWanting to be grown, rebellingAin't no telling what I'd be pussy selling (huh) never would IInstead I wore a g-stringThought never could IThought I had to, to be grown beginning of my life[Chorus]Yo, close myself downHeld myself inExplode by myself alone no one helpingWhat am I to do but cry alone at nightNo one in the house nude TV is my lifeWho was I to tell and what would they think of meNo one understood the pain that was sent to meBroke down from the things men would say to meSelling drinks to a naive kidI blame meBut I never really had someone tell me what to doTeach me that I'm better than just pussy that's trueTeach me that the future was written already waiting to respect my self inLife not to be someone would hate meDo positive and positive will happenStay positive and positive was rappingIt was like my brain was clouded with unnecessary shitBut I chose to see through the negative and make hits uh[Chorus]Uh, uh, yo, yoNow I'm 20 years old and look where I'm atI thank the Lord every night and pray there's no turning backI wanna keep my family happy and that's thatSeen tears in my mother's eyes from platinum plaquesSee things I've done I don't regret I just learnFrom mistakes in the past knowing now I had to earn respect and earn trustSurvival school was never givingThe way you find out what life's about is simply living to be strongStay strong let nobody crush you your body is your temple young girlsDon't let him touch youHe'll respect anything you say if he really loves youDon't settle for second let him put no one above youI did a lot of things in my lifeI take back gotta take from the good and the bad collect thatCause it help the bill who you see now respect thatYoung, black, and strong keep me in yaTape deck[Chorus]
