This chick goes to school in her brand new Benz 

It's filled with her friends but when the day ends it's colder 

She just found out her parents' 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 going 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 gone awry 

So 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 will be a new day

You can try to work it out, he don't have to bounce

Not an ounce of respect left deaf to her parent's tongue 

This sitch ain't gonna be fun 

She's done, had enough 

Coping with this is 'bout 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 going out to her dad's cause he lives so far 

And her mom's crying cause she ain't got the first check 

They're about to lose the house but this chick would bet 

That if her mom would just stop boozing and using 

Then they would stop losing everything 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 twenty-four 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 crying like you dying 

Stop trying to make me feel bad for you 

After all the drama me and my brother went 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 yelling at me cause you ain't got no excuse 

And I'm never gonna feel sorry for you



[Chorus]



Now you've seen my life and you've seen what I'm about 

And I doubt even now you could 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]
