Listening to hip hop, trying to be hard. Not understanding that what she is listening to isn't real life for most. A lot of artist in the studio grew up in the exact environment that she came from. In her suburban mind she is experiencing life, caught up in a world that doesn't really give a damn. Dealing with people who are only going to use her. She thinks it's all fun and games, she needs to be careful cause she's the one getting played.
Now she's on probation, addicted and being sold. Living on the streets, giving all she can make to some punk who she thinks that she's in love with. He doesn't give a damn about her. To him she's just a way to get money without getting off his lazy ass and making a living like a man. Her family worries that the life that she's living will lead to her death. It's not the life she could enjoy if she just would use her brain. She only finds another excuse to give her Mom the blame. She doesn't care that she's bringing shame to herself and her family name. He beats her ass and abuses her in ways that would make most sick. Now she's doing things with strangers just to get a fix. I want to ask her if she's having fun yet.....
It's not so much the drugs or the things that this guy is telling her. It's mostly that she's lost and afraid, trying so hard for all the wrong reasons. Now she no longer cares and any excuse will do.
When they found her dead, the pain of it could not compare to having watched life being washed down the drain. And the beat goes on...
