All Alone (No One to Be With) |
| [00:20.48] |
As a youth, each Sunday, Dawn went to Church and |
| [00:23.28] |
Paid her respects and not to mention was a virgin. |
| [00:26.10] |
Kid pushed up, Dawn lettin him |
| [00:28.31] |
Since he made her laugh and all the other girls was sweatin him. |
| [00:31.32] |
Then things started to move without cause |
| [00:33.38] |
And a couple omonths later kids pushin for the drawers. |
| [00:36.23] |
Under pressure while exchangin glances |
| [00:38.59] |
Dawn finally gives in to the sexual advances. |
| [00:41.58] |
Although it was a mad high cost for her |
| [00:43.77] |
Cuz after the thrill was gone, so was the lust for her. |
| [00:46.49] |
Eventually he left her for another. |
| [00:48.82] |
Now feeling alone and betrayed by her lover |
| [00:51.30] |
She cried--for no longer knew which way she headed. |
| [00:54.00] |
Once dreamed of actually wearing white at her wedding |
| [00:56.45] |
And really being pure, now she thought shed die without. |
| [00:59.24] |
Still she finds strength to continue with her life without |
| [01:01.65] |
Love... |
| [01:03.87] |
Without love... |
| [01:06.09] |
Without love... |
| [01:08.79] |
Without love... |
| [01:11.84] |
Verse two of Dawns life--the second segment. |
| [01:14.33] |
What could be worse than to now find out youre pregnant? |
| [01:17.14] |
Poor Dawn couldnt sleep--laid awake |
| [01:19.13] |
Not ready for a child and plus her mothers gonna break. |
| [01:21.95] |
As she doesnt know how shes gonna bring up the subject, |
| [01:24.51] |
Consequences of being used as an object. |
| [01:27.42] |
In church though times runnin thin |
| [01:29.50] |
She decides to have the child because the doesnt want to sin. |
| [01:32.30] |
Props to the girl although it hit hard times; |
| [01:34.60] |
It was Hell finishin school and working part-time. |
| [01:37.38] |
Yet Dawn did it though her youth went to waste. |
| [01:39.71] |
Little help from the government, she got her own place. |
| [01:42.44] |
HARD for an indepentant woman and a kid |
| [01:44.79] |
And as soon as she could get off the assistance, she did. |
| [01:47.49] |
Without no man who she once thought shed die without |
| [01:50.04] |
Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without |
| [01:52.73] |
Love... |
| [01:54.85] |
Life without love... |
| [02:03.75] |
Life without love... |
| [02:05.57] |
Continue with her life without love... |
| [02:22.04] |
While Dawn worked two jobs tryin to meet ends, |
| [02:24.30] |
Her son was busy cuttin school and hangin with his friends. |
| [02:27.02] |
So when she got words she tried to slap out the taste in his mouth |
| [02:30.23] |
And explain how important education is. |
| [02:32.45] |
Under stress, she takes two Bufferin. |
| [02:34.73] |
Son now tired of seein his poor mother sufferin. |
| [02:37.35] |
Starts to sell drugs though the cops did a raid. |
| [02:39.74] |
Guess whos in the mix, and being legal age |
| [02:42.38] |
Could do time, please call her employer |
| [02:44.75] |
To inform her that her son is gonna need a lawyer. |
| [02:47.45] |
Never no good news, just more strife. |
| [02:49.88] |
Dawn barely havin enough time to live her own life. |
| [02:52.50] |
Heres the judges sentence, beggin and pleadin. |
| [02:55.11] |
Now spends nine hours on the bus to go and see him. |
| [02:57.61] |
Heres the judges sentence, beggin and pleadin. |
| [03:02.07] |
Now spends nine hours on the bus to goa nd see him. |
| [03:04.51] |
Without no man who she once thought shed die without |
| [03:07.16] |
Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without |
| [03:09.84] |
