She was born
by the meadows
Mama was a rebel child
Trailer parked in the ghetto
Her old man never let her out the house
30 pack and some cigarettes
Split between the two every night
They're fighting and they're bickering
And they throw they fist again
And all her neighbors hear
her when she cries
And she cried
Lord, where'd you go?
I need to know
Buildin' bridges over troubled water
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Hey man, that's somebody's daughter
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
And she cried
More cover, girl, more cov er,
girl, more
Tellin' everybody that she
ran into the door
That's bridges over troubled water
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There she go, there she go
Why you gotta be this way?
Why you always leave
and tell me to stay?
Why you always bring your
boys around?
Don't you see my face?
When you gonna help me
with your daughter?
She so precious,
don't neglect her
Please protect her cause she
need a father
Don't be reckless,
she been a blessing
Since the day the
Reverend blessed her
Why I always come home to this extra,
huh?
Can't you see that I'm stressing?
Why you always stressing me?
I called her, said I'm late, yo,
I even left you messages
You probably should just wait before
you start suggesting shit
Always threatening,
cause we got all these problems, bitch
I'm sorry I called you,
bitch, and that was it
She snapped, she gave a slap,
he didn't act
She gave a push, he pushed her back,
heard a crack
Now she crying, crying turns to silence
The silence turned to sirens, and he cried
Lord, won't you go, I need to know
Buildin' bridges over troubled water,
oh
Hey man, that's somebody's daughter,
oh
She cried more, cover girl,
more, cover girl, more
Tellin' everybody that she
ran into the door
There's bridges over troubled water,
oh
Let you go, let you go
Hey, okay, so fuck this shit
I ain't perfect, I'm done with this
Yeah, I know I did some dirt
I heard some folks can't run from this
Was a troubled kid,
I played mad on my daddy
I grew up like this
No family, he was like,
fuck you, kids
And when he did come around
He always threw a couple fists like
Merry
Christmas
That's my past, a few bad moments
An accident, but I'm hopeless
And it still weigh on my shoulders
It's a sad story, I'm broken
But the dev il's love is potent
Seem like all my love got stolen
Cause I only love when it's over
Sorry baby, I'm so sorry that I hurt you
It's too late to feel concerned
But I know you ain't deserve it
And I hate to feel this burn
When I see you through these metal curtains
It took this long for you to hit me
Hope your father forgive me, girl
R .I .P
Buildin' bridges over troubled water
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Hatin' that somebody's daughter
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -o h
She cried more, cover girl,
more, cover girl, more
Telling everybody that she
ran into the door
There's bridges over troubled water,
oh
Building bridges over troubled water,
oh
Hate me like somebody's daughter,
oh
She cried more, copper girl,
more, copper girl, more
Telling everybody that she
ran into the darkness
Bridges over troubled water
Oh, oh, oh, oh
There she go, there she go
