Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
My story

Went from dancing on tabletops to making labels pop
For the love of the money so I could ****
Everything from icy rings to drop tops and now I'm on top
But to look back on my reality happy I stopped

Letting *****s ruin my world impressed by *****s
Trying to school this baby girl I was ***king too early
Fifteen, knowing money was green, puffing too early
Body big, not grown knowledged up and too early

Thought it was cute to flirt with older kats up in they face
Didn't have a daddy so I put a daddy in his face
My mami was my shelter but I broke free
Learning that the streets was harder than I thought they'd be

Wanting to be grown, rebelling
Ain't no telling what I'd be ***** selling, never would I
Instead I wore a G-string, thought never could I
Thought I had to, to be grown beginning of my life but

Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows

Yo, close myself down, held myself in
Explode by myself alone no one helping
What am I to do but cry alone at night?
No one in the house **** TV was my life

Who was I to tell and what would they think of me?
No one understood the pain that was sent to me
Broke down from the things men would say to me
Selling drinks to a naive kid, I blame me

But I've really never had someone to tell me what to do
Teach me that I'm better than just ***** that's true
Teach me that the future was written already
Waiting to respect my self in life not to be someone would hate me

Do positive and positive will happen
Stay positive and positive was rapping
It was like my brain was clouded with unnecessary ****
But I chose to see through the negative and make hits, uh

Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows

Uh, uh, yo, yo, now, I'm twenty years old and look where I'm at
I thank the Lord every night and pray there's no turning back
I wanna keep my family happy and that's that
Seen teens in my mother's eyes from platinum plaques

See things I've done I don't regret I just learn
From mistakes in the past knowing now I had
To earn respect and earn trust
Some about school was never giving

The way you find out what life's
About is simply living to be strong
Stay strong let nobody crush you
Your body is your temple young girls

Don't let him touch you
He'll respect anything you say if he really loves you
Don't settle for second let him put no one above you
I did a lot of things in my life

I take back gotta take from the good
And the bad collect that
'Cause it help the bill who you see now respect that
Young, black and strong keep me in ya, take that but

Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows
