Anyone esles thoughts? I nomrally donna like rap but this one is interesting. TyTy

[GORJESS]

[stephluvsangel6]

yeah which song? i have her new cd or maybe her last one i dont know which it has the be without you song on it but i dont know if thats new or if thats the one before. but let me know, i havent been listening to rap much due to it all being soooo dumb. it talks about the same stuff or dumb stuff that we dont care about.

[TyraandMrJ]

it's a heartbreaker. just days where I am such a ditz TyTy

[GORJESS]

yea i've heard it, i love that song.

[GORJESS]

This is my favorite part:

Emotions run deep and she thinks she's in love
So there's no protection he's using no glove
Never thinkin' bout the conceqences of her actions
Livin' for today and not tomorrow's satisfaction
The days go by and her belly gets big
The father bails out he ain't ready for a kid
Knowin' her mama would blow it all out of proportion
Plus she lives poor so no money for abortion
Ericka's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get her clothes and pack
She says she's bout to run away and never come back

the song depresses me. It's a really good song, and spreads the word about problems that do affect our youth everyday but tend to get ignored because social workers are so understaffed. but it really just makes sad when I hear it.

My kids love that song, they know the words too. My little 9 year old daughter told me that she likes songs that have a message behind it and that is why she likes this song. She said that is very sad for those little girls and then she said "mommy, they are 9 like me" . Very sad song

Have you seen the video? holy smokes, that part i saw was about a dad who abuses his kid and not just physically, i thought it was... well my gut went with inappropriate, but I'm just funny thay way. My daughter, 17, was listening to it on the radio, she had no idea what it was about. I made her listen to the words.

I haven't seen the video but I listen to the song all the time while I'm driving.

I love it. Someone who is not afraid to but issues in the limelight that need to be addressed. The performance of the song on the grammy's was beautiful.

It is in inappropriate ways, this is the part:
Now little Lisa's only 9 years old
She's tryna figure out why the world is so cold
While she's all alone and ain't never met her family
Mama's always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missing and nobody will listen
Mama's on drugs gettin' high up in the kitchen
Bringin' home men at different hours of the night
Startin' with some laughs... usually ending in a fight
Sneakin' in her room when her mama's knocked out
Tryna have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch'
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her
Tries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe her
Lisa's stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that Hell is a place called home
Nothin' else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's bout to run away and never come back

Actaully made me proud of my daughter as she sat down and thought about the song,{video really} while her friends laughed and made fun of it. and that made me proud. and I explained to her that all these girls in this song have choices. not just run away. Tell your priest or paster or a teacher or fireman or nurse or even if you do run away go to a teen shelter, there's a safe choice. try to think it thu and make it.

TyTy for once modern music is doing something right.
