Music: Lukiii
She just got to Grade 12
And that's a great achievement
There's no surprise there
She's smart, so it's a convenience
She's perfect, but her only flaw
Is that she don't believe it
She'd need a permit from her mother
Just to start believing
She's only held back by a mom
Who don't hear when she's screaming
See her when's she's crying
Or feel her when she's bleeding
She's starting to lose hope
Her Ma' don't care 'bout the goals
She's always been dreaming
I tell you, it ain't fun no more
So it's a nightmare
That she's living
And making it hard to be dreaming
Having a mom who don't love
You the way you're seeking
Her approval is all she wanted
Proving her worth to living
She lives life
Like she's in a full time detention
A mom who don't care
A life no one should bare
No communication
But family full of altercations
We all live sad lives
That white smile is camouflage
You see, I met Amanda
With the same agenda any man does
When he sees a gorgeous woman, you know?
Lust is upon us
But ubeyilenhlobo esgele
Eythulelayo nesizotha
Not a girl any guy
Would just easily approach her
Intimidating, you'd think she's mean
Meanwhile her smile is a gleam
What I mean, is she's clean
Innocent mind, and body
Wouldn't harm anybody
Intentions are never naughty
I'd confirm personally
Beautiful personality
But tears behind her glasses
Would fill wine glasses
We all live sad lives
That white smile is camouflage
When looking from afar
You'd think she's living lavish
Well she got drip
And I ain't talking about fashion
She's sensitive, sometimes
She's dripping tears, crying
Her mom hasn't been supportive
To her own teenage daughter
Started being cold, no longer
The mother she knew as warmer
When was the last time
She got a hug from her ?
If you'd ask her that question
The answer's a trauma
Her whole life is drama
She's living with her father
Don't mean he's perfect
My friend lives a life
Trying cope with school
Last year of high school
Proves that school ain't cool
Proves that life is cruel
She has chores right after school
Her dad expects too much from her
He's not being cool
The last time she got
A call from mom
Since she turned 10
Her life took a bad turn
Experiencing pain
You wouldn't fit in a urn
Everything she has
She had to work for to earn
But honestly
This life is what she don't deserve
But I hope she holds on
Long enough to prolong
And thrive from the horrible life
She didn't deserve
All she has to do is survive
I don't know for how long
I know she's strong
But I don't know how strong
We all live sad lives
That white smile is camouflage
