Mama said
"Everything should be alright
that I shouldn't worry about the family
I should go out there and bring in some money"
"Follow them" she said
and always remember, you're taking us out of poverty
just think about it...
by this time next year
we would have somewhere to call our own...
I did EVERYTHING she asked of me
But look where we still at mama
right where we started
struggling to stay afloat
How could you not know mama
that they would have me standing
at every street corner
selling my body just so we can have supper...
How could you not know mama
that they would feed me drugs and make me their *** slave
they do things to me mama
that makes me feel like I'm
no longer a human
Mama,
how could you let it
go on for so long...
I hope you're not still holding onto that dream
it's just sooo out of reach...
Do you not care about me,
my sanity, my life...
Couldn't you see mama
they're still taking away
the innocence of your only daughter...
you allowed the world to define me
mama, you sentenced me
at the age of 13
to the harsh reality of poverty.
