Just a girl, with a dream |
|
Had it all, only seventeen |
|
Went to school, then to church |
|
Understood, felt no need to search |
|
She left home, just because |
|
Her boyfriend, say how fly she was |
|
She made love, night and day |
|
Had his baby, now he's gone away |
|
Seventeen, oh girl |
|
Seventeen, yeah yeah yeah |
|
Seventeen, made her stronger |
|
Seventeen |
|
Sold her soul, to the streets |
|
So her child, has some food to eat |
|
Running home, she won't go |
|
Cause everyone said, girl I told you so |
|
Sex and drugs, oh |
|
There's more to a life |
|
Friends gonna push you, oh oh |
|
But do what is right |
|
You can walk |
|
And still have fun |

Educate your state of mind |
|
While you're young |
