Will I get what's comin' to me, yeah
Will I get what's comin' to me, yeah
(Smile on for now)
Will I get what's comin' to me
I don't know
[Verse 1]
All I know is she really needs confidence
But she really hates compliments
And really that's common sense
She plans to fade into the crowd like she doesn't exist
She didn't talk much, it felt like nobody cared
Her mama was a nut, her daddy wasn't there
I remember how long it took to grow out her hair
Then she cut it all off one night with the shears
Lipstick was black, eyebrow was pierced
Skippin' homeroom cla** with a smoke under the stairs
She got held back twice, but doesn't really care
And when you look into her eyes sometimes, nobody's there
Went to a party, had a couple beers
Gave it to a random and bathed in all her tears
Used to be a happy girl, so sincere
And somethin', changed when she looked into the mirror
Ain't gonna say her name cause it's not cool now
But you probably heard it from the way around
She was, easy to come by, but, never to keep
Her heart was unobtainable, always outta reach
We spend a few nights and she taught me somethings
But always in the morning, I had to leave
I had a thing for her, it was a fantasy
We still kicked it even though it wasn't meant to be
And one night, she said something I couldn't believe
We were talking for a minute, then she turned to me
And said her mama was a junkie when she didn't have money
She made her use her body
And yo that's probably
Why she mess with whiskey and cain
Cause really deep inside she just trynna numb the pain
And everybody judgin' they just don't understand
She 'bout to run away soon, as fast as she can

Smile on for now, in this moment till were through
Some things changed, I know it's not right but what else can I do
Smile on for now, in this moment till the day is night
Sitting here I know is not right but what else can I do
[Bridge]
And we all ready to take the fall
Cause we all just, trynna break through the wall
We never fit in, we walked 'fore we could crawl
Now we all just trynna break through the wall
Now will I get what's comin' to me, yeah
Will I get what's comin' to me, yeah
Will I get what's comin' to me (1, 2, 3, 4)
[Verse 2]
Don't judge a book by its cover, never a tree from it's bark
Not a man from his clothing, cause you don't know his heart
She said the problem with the world is we were driftin apart From our humanity, see she was wise from the start
But she embraced all of the pain, and she changed and it's hard for me to not get specific
But she was acting bizarre
I could tell she was done, we hadn't talked in a month
Disappeared from her house, and not a clue she had gone
Heard the rumors of course
Told myself they were wrong
Heard she was hard on them needles
That she gave up on them bongs
That they did nothin' for her and her addiction was strong
She was known around town for being shady and fun
You could hit it pretty quick if you had money for rum
Get her drunk, might get your hand up under her sweater
Pay for it then you may get somethin' even better
Don't let me tell you what the substance would do
I don't believe it myself, how could you handle the truth
I saw her and I almost didn't notice at first
She was skinnier and pale and she clung to her purse
Had a cough that wouldn't leave and a creepy whisper
She was talkin' to herself and that made me sure
She had lost all of her sense and it was straight up awkward
I saw the bruises on her arms, the rips in her gown
Lines hardened in her face so you could always see her frown
She could drink with the best of them
Shoot up with the rest of them
Daddy's little girl growin' up, here's another one
And one night, someone slipped somethin' up in her drink
And she woke up with HIV
And now the world is really lookin' so bleak
And now she really has a reason to freak
And she still hasn't spoken to me
She probably trynna work it out and make herself numb comfortably
And I don't think she ever gunna stop runnin' b
Climbed to the top of her apartment the other week
Looked over the edge
And she dreamt about falling
Felt the world burning while staring down at the bottom
This wasn't a phase, she didn't think like this often
Took a step on the ledge
Conetmplating resolve and
There's nothing that I could have done then
Just another lost soul, just another changed friend

Smile on for now, in this moment till were through
Some things changed, I know it's not right but what else can I do
