[Verse 1] Young n***a, felt so embarra**ed Livin' in the dark where I perished Screams of silence, Come save me But sh**, damn I had to come and save me When you're an adolescent there's a lot of depression and you feel that you have no protection Screamin' god can I get protection, affection, no depression Worked on days where I felt no ascension Pretension was the main frame Pretensions, what I tried to gain Forever I will be the same But i'll never be the same You say you can't love cause a man did you wrong But nah girl, you doing yourself wrong And I understand You were criticized , when I look in your eyes, all I see is pain A little girl whose heart was always filled with pain It's no wonder why you always feel shame for men Cause the man who was supposed to be there for you just up and left you Now you're all grown up and you're scared to trust Even a man with no signs of distrust cause you know that all they want is Lust
