ARTIST: Lil Wayne, Devin The Dude, and Bun B
CAUTION: Language and Images
WHAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT: A rebellious teenager
WHAT THIS SONG IS REALLY ABOUT: A family who once had everything, but lost it all. So the parents turned to drinking and drugs, and they were doing it all in front of their daughter. The song is really about how the daughters parents unhealthy lifestyle rubbed off on her, violence, and poverty.
I PICKED THIS SONG BECAUSE: It really spoke to me. And it shows that however parents raise their children, it will affect them... one way or another.
[Lil’ Wayne]
OK I’m talkin bout a good girl gone bad,
Crooked world wrong pad, right rhyme wrong dad,
I sing this song mad but not mad enough to shoot ya,
But it just eats me up like some barbeque from Luther’s
In the morning with the roosters on the corner with the boosters
And she’s the fresh cut and they’re on her like sutures
And I wanna talk to her but her mama has to school her,
I wanna see her better she’s the weather of our future,
I don’t wanna see another hurricane baby you can kill the pain
If you just let me explain trust me I know what I’m sayin,
You will end up on the track of an oncoming train
Stuck in the passenger seat, tryna do the fast lane, dang.
Hook:
Little girl somewhere out there stranded,
Can’t nobody find her and they don’t understand it,
She was raised good, can’t blame her parents,
Lost in the sauce is not the way that they planned it

Well once upon a time there was a mom and a dad,
Who on the outside did everything people wished they had,
A beautiful daughter, two-story house, 2 car garage,
And a white picket fence wrapped around the front yard,
See Daddy was a doctor, and Mommy was a banker,
Mommy’s job got outsourced, so now Mommy’s a drinker,
Daddy had a malpractice suit, now he’s a snorter,
And all this shit is takin place right in front of the daugher,
She said, “Daddy, what’s wrong?” but he’s just too high,
“Mommy what we gon do?” She just get drunk and cry,
Caught in the middle of two wrongs, tryna do right,
Lookin for answers all alone in the darkest of night.
This shit ain’t tight.

Couldn’t even fold her own clothes yet, she chose to jet,
This shit that she would always regret,
Now she’s runnin from house to house, out and about
All hours of the night, learnin hard lessons of life,
She called home twice but, she couldn’t say
Where she was gonna lay her head the very next day,
She gave up her body and mind way before time,
Got nothin left, the girl gotta get help.
Bridge:
She doesn’t know what to do with herself,
Her family’s worried think she don’t even care,
She livin a rough life on a hope and a prayer
Where she’ll end up in a few years, who knows where?
