Diamonds and monsters

First things first ay yo she didn't fit in
She knew that she was different and she couldn't pretend
That she hadn't been abused by some messed up dudes
When her daddy said goodbye step-daddy moved in -
Unwanted hands under the sheets up in the sleepless nights
Where she's afraid to dim the lights 'n monsters creep in the night
And she keeps her mouth shut cause no one'd ever believe
Fifteen and petrified of her dreams c'mon

Keep on healin' all the
Scars in your heart u
Keep on realin' as they
Tear u apart
Don't let them take away your pride and dignity
Cause scars will heal themselves eventually

Her mama got a drawer diamonds and pearls
Gettin' dusty like the rhodes they call the fender
Now mama won't remember if they gone thru November
Baby pockets up the rocks and she take on the world like
Rahzel be boxin' beats
Girl ya boxin' the streets
Ya sell the stones high as hell 'n lose the shoes from ya feet
Turn a trick not for treat
Why did heaven deceive?
And every face look like a monster end the treachery - uh
U gotsta

Keep on healin' all the
Scars in your heart u
Keep on realin' as they
Tear u apart
Don't let them take away your pride and dignity
Cause scars will heal themselves eventually

Na na na na na (etc)

They put her in da juvenile facility
Where dey question da mental competency
No one there to pay the tab in 30 days she's free
Anutha Runaway who's prey up in the belly of the beast
Oh girl time just can't erase
Oh girl we find angels in the strangest place
In a hopeless space in a lifeless case
ay yo I see my life reflected in the lines on ya face
Ay (ay yo!)
