Lonely World

They say you don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
(But you can't stay here)
And no I don't wanna be alone, in the world out there
(In the world out there)
You don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
(But you can't stay here)
And no I don't wanna be alone, in the world out there
(She don't wanna be lonely)

They said, you ain't gotta go home, little do they know
She ain't even got a home, got no where to roam
No where to go, man she's all alone, on her own
In this cold world, heart so froze
All she want is love, all she want is one
Man to go home to, for him to be her own
'Cause she never had nothin', whole life struggling
Grew up a screw up, never knew lovin'
Never knew lovin', man she never knew lovin'
As a little girl she was touched by her cousin
He ain't have a clue, all the trauma that it caused her
'Cause over time she grew up, but she still bothered
Them thoughts come back, she thinks it's all her fault
'Cause they told her she was worthless
Man they told her she deserved it
They ain't have a clue, how much they fricken' hurt her
Now she's broken, crying out
But what they said when they heard her?

They say you don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
(But you can't stay here)
And no I don't wanna be alone, in the world out there
(In the world out there)
You don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
(But you can't stay here)
And no I don't wanna be alone, in the world out there
(She don't wanna be lonely)

Now she out stripping, now she out tricking
She living in the minute 'cause she got no vision
Got no meaning, no definition
To her life, it ain't right, don't know how to make decisions
Everybody tells her how she should be living
But what they don't know, shawty's heart is missin'
They don't know that she's in critical condition
She lost her faith and her very intuition
She ain't got no dreams, man they stripped 'em as a kid 'n'
Now she's givin' in, popping pills in her system
On the outside grinning, but really she's hiding
Her emotions deep inside, man she's getting tired of living
Tired of people taking, but ain't nobody givin'
She's had it, she's disastrous, she's crying and she's trembling
Popped too many pills, grabs her glass and she tips it
Sits back, fades black, life flash as she ends it

They say you don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
(But you can't stay here)
And no I don't wanna be alone, in the world out there
(In the world out there)
You don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
(But you can't stay here)
And no I don't wanna be alone, in the world out there
(She don't wanna be lonely)

Real life ain't a fairy tale, things don't always end so well
People die, people steal, people rape, people kill
People overdose on drugs everyday
Self-medicating, tryna' take away the pain
So many stripper girls dancing on them poles
Standing on the corners, we just see 'em all as hoes
But that's somebody's daughter, and that ain't the life she chose
She got dealt a bad hand, you told her leave
Now she's gone

They say you don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
(But you can't stay here)
And no I don't wanna be alone, in the world out there
(In the world out there)
You don't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
(But you can't stay here)
And no I don't wanna be alone, in the world out there
(She don't wanna be lonely)

So often
We laugh at people like this
But people don't choose to be taken advantage of
People don't choose to be failures
And people don't always choose to be drug addicts
Instead of laughing at 'em while they're down
Extend your hand
Help 'em up
