It's Not A Fairytale
Lyricist:Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons, Sarai Howard, Roddrick Norman, Adrian Utley, Marquise Williams
It all started like this, ninth grade, freshman year So happy to be in high school, I shedded a tear So many cute dudes to choose from, I knew it was one That was, right for me, well, I thought at least
He was the big guy on campus on the football team Basketball, homecoming, he was voted for King There was me, I was on the cheer leading squad Sweet sixteen, lookin' for love in my heart
It was a, beautiful thing from the start I must say Only problem, my parents were strict, they ain't play No phone calls after eight, no stayin' out late I'm like, 'Damn, gimme a break'
Hormones kickin' in, start displayin' my shape More concerned with my looks than my books and grades Headed nowhere fast, I was on my way Curiosity, c'mon, I know y'all relate
I think about the characters in my storybook The pages I have read you This ain't your momma's fairytale The things that I have been through In all my life, in all my days I never thought, I would end up this way
It's been a year now, I'm a sophomore, maturin' no more Still I'm young and dumb and plus I'm unsure Who I am, what the future has in store Man, I'm tryin' to be grown 'cause my parents now divorced
I took a charge to roll with Dough Boy Moms tried to force me to move to New York But of course that plan, it fell short She found herself caught up in court on child support
Drama, problems of all sorts Stressin' started smokin' Newports Carefree about the ones who care for me Lost teen, givin' up on my dreams and as worst as that seems
Had me thinkin' crazy things like suicide Like it'd better everything if, I just die Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Full blown, without guidance or a home I'm startin' to get stomach pains that's strange, what could be wrong?
I think about the characters in my storybook The pages I have read you This ain't your momma's fairytale The things that I have been through In all my life, in all my days I never thought, I would end up this way
What do I do? I ask myself, everyday A child givin' birth to a child, what can I say? This wasn't 'posed to happen to me, no way Hear I am, turned my back on my fam, well, goddamn
This wasn't even part of the plan, I'm spazzin' out I lay down at night, the hurt just burst out I shout, 'How could he leave at my time of need?' 'Specially now, I'm pregnant and due in three?
Maybe, I should have it and give it up for adoption I can't graduate, I ain't been to school since August Often I hear this voice talkin' in the back of my mind So many problems in my life, I just pray for my time to come
God, take me, leave my child behind, I'm on the run Adrenaline pumpin' so angry, I could kill some'n Don't make me prove it 'cause if you don't do it then I'ma do it I'm foolish and so stupid
Think about the characters in my storybook The pages I have read you This ain't your momma's fairytale The things that I have been through In all my life, in all my days I never thought, I would end up this way
Think about the characters in my storybook The pages I have read you This ain't your momma's fairytale Things that I have been through In all my life, in all my days I never thought, I would end up this way
