Born to die

Was so desperate for a resolution
Caught two charges for prostitution
Trying to find a solution
When i'ma good girl
But we all go though it
Been though hell and high water
Judge wasn't hearing that
Silenced out by all the hollers
I'ma black sister and i never knew my father.
And as much as i knew of my mother
She loved to argue .
And i'm a free spirit
So i never bothered.

A slave to the government
I refuse to be
Because whoever on that birth certificate
That is not me .
So when they say we have rights
What does that mean .
You should read between the lines
And they should keep it a bean
Sneaky mutha-fuckers
And their greed .
Knowledge is Definley key
If i was born here
Then i was born to be free
And to do as i please
Because after all i'm not hurting anybody .

If its such a problem put a tax on it and call it day
Because i'm still faulted on something That'll never go away .
I never did it for a habit
But because i had college tuition &bills to pay
Now i cant pay for college
My future is on delay
I was counting on that to get me outta these dumps
I don't have support system
I was born in the slumps
I worked for everything i got
And that's still never enough .
No way to get by
And if its not the governments way
I was not meant to survive
Even if i have the drive.
It feels as if i was born to die

The system took me the day i was born
And maybe i'm a little scorn
That it made me who i am today
And went though bullshit
Molested and abused
Like that was the only way .
But i'm still not a bad person
I'm a capable of good things .
I'm a american citizen �without the freedom of speech
And the sayings always been practice what you preach .
Funny when your wrong
They don't wanna hear your side
As if law enforcement always do right
Well i'm here to say
you weren't right that night
And your time will come
Because you fucked with me
And i'm not the one
because i'm god daughter and you're the devils son
Where were u when you were really needed.
Ropes around my neck
just a child pleading
But i didn't get justice
But i'm blessed because i'm still breathing
To tell the story ...
