Beautiful Girls (Re-Write)

Them all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do the work
But you have them suicidal, suicidal
When your hand slithers over

There’s all these beautiful girls
They’re the only ones to make it work
But you have them suicidal, suicidal
They already think it’s over

Them all these beautiful girls
They’re only tryna do the work
But the world have ’em suicidal, suicidal
For them it’s over

See it’s planted from the start
Always be scared of the dark
Oh they grab me by the arm
That’s how I fall apart
That this game for men
Will lead to my last road (last road)

And it started really young
Before I even begun to sprung
Oh the world didn’t care
They made it very clear
And they also said
You can’t trust the ones in your bed (get out my bed)

See I’m a one of a kind girl
Very calm on the inside
But they fucked up my mind
They applaud at my decline
Oh Lord
My mind they drove me crazy

I am a beautiful girl
I only ever want to work
But they have me suicidal, suicidal
When his hand slithered over
I am a beautiful girl
How will I ever make life work
When I’m always suicidal, suicidal
I don’t want it to be over

It was back when I was nine
I was still playing Barbies at that time
When I try to send him away
For a lifetime of crime
And I never thought
That I’d be the one without a heart (where’s my heart?)

And then I got out
Packed my bags moved down South
Oh I thought I was free
That they was done taking from me.
It turns out to be
The world chooses to put the blame on me (blame on me)

They say be polite to the ones who
Compliment the mind too
That’s how they fucked up my life
They put it at a price
Oh Lord
The world has me going crazy

When all the beautiful girls
They only tryna do the work
And there’s so many suicides, suicides
Keep your hands by your shoulders
For all these beautiful girls
The future is female worth
Let’s stop these suicides, suicides
It’s so close to being over

When they are fussing
When they are fighting
Oh please tell me why
My freedom is slighted
And I don’t know
How to make it better (make it better)

Justice is light
Justice be telling lies
Oh I can’t believe
What I’m seeing with my eyes
I’m losing my mind
And I don’t think it’s clever

You’re way too beautiful girl
Never forget your worth
I don’t want you to be suicidal, suicidal, baby it’s not over.
