Tampered With (bonus Track) Lyrics

Tampered With (bonus Track) lyrics

The alarm clock rung

 Momma woke her out the bed

 She's gettin' dressed for school

 Puttin' barrettes in her head

 An honor roll student real smart

 That's what they said

 Every morning when she left

 Mom would cook her grits and eggs

 Pops worked two jobs

 To bring in the bread

 Momma stayed in the kitchen

 And kept her well fed

 

 Now here she go

 Quick to meet her friends

 At the bus stop  

 On the avenue

 That's when the old Cadillac dropped

 The man that was drivin'

 Snatched her up around 8 o'clock

 While her friends and the bus driver

 Waitin' down the block

 No one heard her screamin'

 He turned the bass up a notch

 She was tampered with

 Second floor in an abandoned spot

 No telephone around

 So she couldn't call the cops

 He threw her in the bathroom

 Made sure the door was locked

 All she was thinkin'

 "Why me?" and "Will it stop?"

 All she was thinkin'

 "Why me?" and "Will it stop?"

 It's a damn shame

 

 Chorus:

 Damn shame

 That someone

 That someone would want to mess with you

 And you just can't get them out your mind

 Try to replace bad times with smiles

 Let it out

 Out right now

 I know it's hard to talk about

 You gotta keep going on with your life

 Letting it out

 Don't you let it back away

 

 The school bell rung

 For the first hour of school

 Her teacher called her moms

 Cuz she thinks she's skippin' school

 But if only they knew

 What was really goin' on

 She's cryin' for your help

 While y'all talkin' on the phone

 The teacher's on the wrong subject

 Sayin' that she think she grown

 Somebody call the police

 Damn callin' up Tyrone

 So her mother filed a report on her own

 This is the description that she gave what was known

 

 Fifteen

 She was last seen  

 Standin' on the corner

 Eatin' ice cream

 At the bus stop

 On 10th Street and Milly Ave.

 Just a few feet  

 From the spot

 Where she stayed

 Cute mini skirt

 And french braids

 Hundred-ten pounds

 What she weighed

 5 foot 2

 Eyes blue-grey

 

 Chorus

 

 Now back to the abandoned spot

 Where she's tryin' to pick the lock

 So he threw her in his 'lac

 Ridin' with the doors locked

 Drove her through the woods

 That was right around the block

 Dropped her off at the hospital

 In the parking lot

 The school bell rung

 For the end of a class

 At the same time

 She was runnin' in the flash

 To go and call her mother

 But her mother isn't there

 And when she finally seen her

 Speculation filled the air

 Her momma don't believe her

 She's keeps callin' her tricks and whores

 Sayin' I told you 'bout them older men before

 Her father didn't neither

 Afraid to face the sticks and stones

 And now she's searchin' for the grace to carry on

 It's a damn shame

 

 Chorus

 

 Let it go  

 Let it go

 I know it's hard

 But you should let it go

 Life goes on and you should know

 If you let it go

 Let it go

 

 Let it go  

 You should let it go

 I know you'll make it

 If you let it go

 Life goes on and you should know

 Let it go

 Let it go

 Let it go  

 Let it go

 I know it's hard

 But you should let it go

 Life goes on and you should know

 If you let it go

 Let it go
