Broken Home

This chick goes to school

In her brand new Benz

It's filled with her friends

But when the day ends its, it's colder

She just found out her parent's marriage is over

She's supposed to understand, when she's older

At least that's what her parents told her

But now she's goin' off on them

Because they can't scold her

There's tears in her eyes, she yells and she cries

Her world tumbles down and she wishes to die

She has to comply when her life's gonna rise

She turns to her mom looks her in the eye

"How could you push him away?

Please mom make him stay!

We'll wake up tomorrow it'll be a new day!

You can try to work it out

He don't have to bounce"

Not an ounce of respect

Left death to her parents tongue

This switch ain't gonna be fun

She's done, had enough

Coping with this is bound to be tough

[CHORUS]

One young girl, and she's caught outside in the cold

Scared to the bone, but trying to be bold

But when she wakes up she's all alone

In a broken home

Two months later

She's got miles on her car

From goin' out to her dad's

Cause he lives so far

And her mom's cryin'

Cause she ain't got the first check

They're about to lose their house

But this chick would bet

That if her mom would just

Stop boozin' and usin'

Then they would stop losin' everythin' that they had

But she's so mad, so angry and sad

And she wants more than anything

To live with her dad

But her dad's generous

With 24 grand a year

And her mom has the nerve

To shed one tear?

So she stands up

Eye to eye, watches her mom cry

And lets out all the feelings inside

She yells

"Yo trick stop cryin' like you dyin'!

Stop tryin' to make me feel bad for you!

After all the drama me and my brother been through

You have the nerve, to carry on like you do?

You act like a child, and I'm your mother

So girl get up and go take care of my brother!

Stop yellin' at me cause you ain't got no excuse

And I'm never,

Gonna feel sorry for you!"

[CHORUS]

Now you see my life 'n you see what I'm about

And I doubt even now you can figure me out

Just because I don't have love don't feel for me

Do what you have to do to write your own love story

[CHORUS]
