A new song that I wrote and recorded on Sunday while listening to a beat on the way home. A little bit of a throwback to my conscious rap days.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Her name is Riley
Someone you know? Could be likely.
A young girl, so innocent,
Family life, magnificent
But inside, feels far from great
So worried 'bout school grades.
This girl is only eleven,
These concerns keep her from Heaven.
Worried what her family would think
If her grades began to sink,
Or the façade that she's upheld
That leaves her so overwhelmed,
Leaves her parents disappointed,
Thoughts get so disjointed,
So she packed a bag, out the light
And ran away, into the night.
[Hook]
She's stressed out her mind
Doesn't feel like home.
She's out of the house
And out on the road.
[Verse 2]
Taking sigs of whisky,
She's thinkin' "None will miss me,
If I went and died tonight,
All alone and out of sight."
On her own, she's feels weak,
Tracks of tears run down her cheeks.
Little Susie is only 12,
Home life is a living hell.
She wants to scream and shout
Mum's passed out on the couch.
Step father would use her,
Sexually abuse her.
This man acted so cold
He'd kill her if a soul was told.
She opens the window, when it's late;
Her only method of escape.
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Noelle was only sixteen,
She was innocent, but naïve.
She was so in love madly,
With this young man named Bradley.
She would hold him tight,
They would rock the boat at night.
Seemed like a beautiful segment,
Until he got her pregnant.
There goes those sunny days,
Got a child on the way.
She ended up ghosted,
Hopin' she wouldn't notice.
He left her on her own,
Parents don't give her hope.
Now she's cold and alone,
She's now out on the road.
[Hook]
