It is amazing that even with the trash and dirt it is still a beautiful city.

She stood at the corner of life,

holding on with all her might to all of this fleshly strife,

They said in the spirit, life is terrific,

but she terrified been watching her soul cry, all their lives,

babies going crazy, depressed, stressed and completely undressed,

before the world's caress, she been a victim so long,

She think putting up with his abuse mean they strong,

Or because his money long, it's okay he do her wrong,

This life rolls her like a game of dice

Will she fall or be trapped like mice (2x)

Hold her mother don't sale her down this one way street,

This creep is a molester he get off when she weep,

Hold her daddy don't sale her down this one way street,

She has replayed where she went wrong tape on constant repeat,

Her chest he beats, like he was king kong,

She been living with this animal to long,

She living like rats and roaches who run from the light,

And he stepping on her lives because he say her skin ain't right,

This life rolls her like a game of dice

Will she fall or be trapped like mice (2x)

She see her soul leave she think her dreams died,

she wonder if God will forgive a failure who commits suicide,

She open up her pretty brown eyes giving life to everyone that pass by,

but inside she a raging sea look at the tears she cried,

marks on her flesh march to the rest smile even in stress,

She trying not to breathe but her lungs refuse to rest,

Walking dead she is trying to be enlightened,

but she think she to deep in the dark so she always frightened,

This life rolls her like a game of dice

Will she fall or be trapped like mice (2x)
