lyrics
Intro
Hey there young innocent girl, you're dreams are no longer what you're chasing now
Trying to hide from the world, but there is no place that you can run to now!
Verse:
Her vision was a virgin to the visuals that he painted with a word so original; He was a perfect interpretation of what it takes to emerge as a learned individual
She’s a young thing that only wants one thing, that’s to be loved by the one she’s wanting.
In turn he’s learned all the ways to trap the young brains of the women that he’s hunting
Backed up by his factual fronting, and her life is still lacking for something,
It’s a perfect match when the key hit’s the latch and the barricade walls start crumbling
So young, so fine so green, so numb no time to get cleaned up, he’s up and out, enough change in her purse to catch a bus about town in the rain
She’s cold outside and in, developed a thick alligator kind of skin, with a shield that protects her from feeling any type of love for a man in her life again
Outside so vibrant, inside decayed, been burned by the flames of the game she’s played
What’s priceless life or vices, she’s pleasure in the flesh, meant to entice the righteous
A nice twist of fate a mix of grapes aged to perfection another sip she takes
Drowning her pain in the bottom of the glass, lipstick on the rim reminiscent of her past
She had scholarships to colleges but couldn’t see herself sitting in boring class
Just then a nice young man approached, sat down beside her and they began to toast
Told her that he was celebratin’ the achievement of his recent graduation.
He just earned his MBA and got a nice corporate job lined up and waitin’
So young so fine so green, this time she’s the one that’s hunting, one thing led to the next and the next thing you know their both jumping
Off the ledge to the depths of passion, no concept of consequence for actions, it didn’t help that the brotha wasn’t strapped when she passed him the poison from her first attachment. (48)
That’s the scene of a dream deferred, In fact that’s the last that I’ve seen of her, she’s a memory of energy of a giver of love who’s never seen returns
So many young ones exposed to the hype of the glitz and the glamour of the flashing lights, just know all that
glitters ain’t gold and one bad decision can destroy a life
Learn to listen to the voice within, get familiar with the waters when you learn to swim, understand that you’re a diamond with a value that needs no appraisal from a her or him. (60)
