Baby

It was night time
And the little girl couldn’t seem to sleep

They were sitting on the couch
Smoking and getting doped up beyond belief
When they heard a little moan
Turning to see the little girl
“Baby go back to sleep
This isn’t your scene”.
But the girl shook her head
Not after she saw her sister’s dead body
Lying on the floor beneath her father’s feet
Mama rose from the couch
Baby turned and fled
Papa caught up to her
Mama tied her tight

They got in the car
Baby in the back
They drove to a cliff
A beautiful view of the city below
Seen through three eyes
The mama started up another blunt
Both crawled to the backseat

Baby was cold
Baby was hurt
Baby was just rapped
As mama got out of the car
Daddy pulled Baby out
Both grabbed her hand
Took her to the edge of the cliff
And threw poor baby away…

Mama rapped her
Daddy spanked her
The officer found her
And the jury cried for her
Mama and the papa are behind bars now
Baby is somewhere else
Hurting no more
Oh Baby
