Latonya Testo

(didn❝t your mama tell you how to behave,girl?
Didn❝t your daddy tell you not to wear that little thing? )
Been told you never get something for nothing
My stepfather dickie say I just might get hit
If I don❝t give
The girls all shisper ❝hind my back
They try to break me whith cruel attacks
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it, don❝t complain
Daddy❝s gone, mama lost her job
Our house ain❝t a home no more
Still my faith❝s unshaken in god
I feel so lonely for hope and company
I don❝t take much and I give everything for free
(so, don❝t you want me? )
The girls all whisper❝hind by back
My baby brother❝s smoking crack
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it, don❝t complain
Daddy❝s gone, mama lost her job
Our house ain❝t a home no more
Still my faith❝s unshaken in god
I dream I get a record deal
I❝ll buy a way out of here
Or maybe a new lexus jeep
Or just a friend (am I dreamin❝? am I dreamin❝? )
There❝s mr. roberts,juan and paul
All waiting for me down the hall
But then tomorrow they don❝t call
Still a moment❝s better than none at all
Daddy❝s gone (my name is la tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain❝t a home no more (I❝ll be sixteen in august)
Since mama broke her soul (I like to sing in chorus)
Daddy❝s gone (my name is la tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain❝t a home no more (I❝ll be sixteen in august)
Still my faith❝s unshaken
Lord won❝t you please save me?
Is this the new slavery?
Here on the ghetto pavement?
But I believe in you baby
Yes, my faith❝s unshaken
In god
