Verse 1:
My city’s broken, danger on every corner
On her way to school the boys always corner her
Trying to touch her body, oddly she tells nobody
See, girls’ aren’t believed here they shed their tears in fear
She switched up her gear and got the hell out of here
Marching every day down the main street, looking for justice
’Cause they done disturbed our peace
Do you think I like jumping up and down these streets, that this here makes us proud?
We shouting to be heard not just to make a sound
He popped those pills and now he’s gone. Another mother buries her son all alone
My city’s broken it’s in pieces, please answer our prayers ’cause we need you Jesus
Hook:
Baby girl learn to hold your own – I know it’s hard being grown in this cold, cold world
Baby boy learn to hold your own – I know it’s hard being grown in this cold, cold world
Verse 2:
Who dare say they saw what happened that night?
Who dare say they saw who started the fight?
Silent treatment for this case. I won’t speak man it’s not safe
Don’t wanna see someone else dead just rather protect my own head
Momma went out to buy some bread, left new born baby on her bed
Neighbour came in had his way, another victim of the day
But still nobody will tell. Why man? Cause it’s just another day in hell
Hook:
Baby girl learn to hold your own – I know it’s hard being grown in this cold, cold world
Baby boy learn to hold your own – I know it’s hard being grown in this cold, cold world
Verse 3:
Praying for his big break so he’s writing through the heartache
He says he made a mistake no she’s crying in the hallway
Crying for her baby, yeah the one that’s in her belly
Sad that just like her it won’t have a father
On top of that it will be a constant reminder of the man that she lost
Might even say it’s the baby’s fault and call it a burden all because she’s still hurting
She’s on baby number three and yet to learn her lesson
He’s on girl number eight and yet to use protection
Intoxicated by the passion, easily gets lost in her juices
Five minutes later, explodes in her canal. Three weeks later starts burning like hell
But hey, we all human, this sorta stuff does happen
Just remember a moment of pleasure can be a lifetime of pain
