Lyrics

verse 1
Everything started out so good
like a perfect picture painted
Ayo, Hollywood
Many stories like this started out like that
How her knight in shining armor always had her back
Ayo,
She always use to say
He couldn't do no wrong
And his smile lit up her heart like a luck charm
Use to get her all steamy
Fire!
Smoke alarm
Use to run around town
Ayo,
Attached to his arm
Use to buy her anything everything that she wanted
Use to tell her
Yo, you mine
you don't want for nothing
and that beef with you mom's don't worry
don't stunt it
It's me and you against the world
your my baby girl
He had her heart from the start
Ayo, Lock and key
He's the sun, moon, and stars
far as she can see
Ayo,
6 years and never raised a hand at me
The only thing that he did
was raise his voice at me.

Verse 2
Never, Ever
did she think
that her love would turn
and the life that they built
he would utterly burn
124. miles away
from the start of her love
to her love's decay
Ayo, faded pictures
that was left in a broken glass
memories of a horrid
unforgotten past
Yo,
Reliving yo, the trauma
of that horrible night
when he came how and beat her to a pulp that night
blaming her for all the money
that he lost again
afterword's
Yo, he told her
he won't do it again
a viscous cycle
the abuse kept on coming again
Yo, its like
it'll never end
yo
shell never win
she has to find a way to escape the hell she living
isolated from family, friends
with 3 children
he told her if you try to leave
I will pursue you
hunt you down
yo, beat you down
and then do you
imagine the emotional state
that flows through her
how could the love of her life
turn the abuser
fearing for her life
above all
fear for her kids
she had to take a stand formulated an exit plan
she gave the kids the signal they knew what its about
unsecured the windows and door throughout the house
put a few drops in his drink to knock him out
took the kids, keys and the cash
ran out the house bounce!
