Needles

"She was sixteen, lost her virginity at a house party,
Coked out and faded, drunk off Bacardi,
Hardly, remembers anything that happened,
She recalls drinking and smoking, everybody laughing,
Having a good time, snorting that good stuff,
She met a couple guys, and they wanted to hook up,
So they took her to the room, they put that roofie in her cup,
She had visions of true love, but they just wanted to fuck,
So they told she was cute, and she was better than the rest,
Then they played truth or dare and made her take off her dress,
So she got naked, and these dudes got turned on,
And I can't describe what happened when the lights turned off,
Girl started to scream, then she blacked out completely,
Her friend is in the other room with some dudes being sleazy,
So she had no other choice, she just laid on the bed,
And these guys took advantage till she was practically dead,
The next morning she woke up, and she was feeling the pain,
But not knowing what exactly happened made her go insane,
So she cried tears of sorrow, asking God to explain,
She lost faith in his power and he was the one she blamed,
If you really did exist, why would you let me get hurt,
Why would you let those demons get inside of me first?
But God failed to respond, so dreams of getting married in church,
Were now nightmares of her body carried away in a hearse."

"She had no father figure, momma was a gold digger,
Every night a different man, just to see what they would give her,
Her sister was a stripper, her brother was a gangster,
And God was no longer there so she turned to meth for answers,
Drugged up and heart broken, feeling insecure,
She looked in the mirror, and saw a sickness with no cure,
She was beautiful, but all her beauty was a blur,
She spent her days in the shower, cause she didn't feel pure,
Trying to scrub off the filth, she was psychologically ill,
Wishing a stray bullet sprayed and she got killed,
But she instead she got pregnant, now she's gonna have a kid,
And she doesn't have a clue who the fuck the daddy is,
So she goes crazy, and starts cutting up her wrist,
Blood dripping down her arm, unlike the period she missed,
She's feeling scared so she panicked, almost got an abortion,
Has no support from her family, doesn't have a boyfriend,
To talk to, nobody around to give her help,
Just a lost teenage girl going through hell by herself,
You ever felt like, you're dead even when you're alive,
And that little bit of life in you just wishes you died,
I've had a lot of girls call me, and they ask for advice,
Very similar stories, all living similar lives,
Suicide, drug addiction, pregnancy and rape,
And I just wanna let you girls know, don't lose your faith,
Cause beauty is deeper than the makeup on your face,
You gotta search within your soul, to fill up that empty space,
In your heart, even when a man tears it apart,
You gotta stay strong, keep your head up, aim for the stars,
I know nineteen year old girls who been through it all,
Standing tall so you'd never think they'd been through a fall,
When that darkness creeps, and there's no sun in sight,
You have to look into your heart and create your own light"
