Analysis of Lost Child
As I Flick The Butt Of My Cigarette-
I Vision A Young Girl's Hair Barrette
She Smiles-If Only She Knew
How This Game Takes Over You
Had A Kid At Only 15...
Now She's Always On The Scene-
With No One To Help Her,
She Felt No One Cared
When can These Innocent Lives Be Spared
Left In This Crazy World All Alone-
Now She's Gettin Stoned-
Felt It Would Take Away The Pain-
But Now She's Livin' In Agony-
Goin' Insane
Take A Look At This Poor Child
Mama's Mind Is Gone-
No One To Call Daddy Of Her Own
She Wants To Be Loved-
Looks In All The Wrong Places
Gets Hooked Up-But Cant Remember Faces
Now What Happened-Where Did She Go?
Felt A Victim To The Street Game
Lived In It, Died In It
Ain't That A Damn Shame
