No IG Story

by Jackie Faraoui

on No Ig Story (2020)

Let me keep it real, imma put my hand on my heart
I ain't leaving empty pages in the book of my life
Cold breeze, mama putting me to bed in a park
Rock bottom, swear that I was born to be at the top

Rewind it back to my day
Work hard for a minimum wage
Mama locked up in cage
Dinner on a lucky day

Went with no sleep, 3 days
Writing help me cope with pain
Look in the mirror always say
We gon' be ok

People come and people go
The road is long, a highway home
I wish I knew that everything so
Now nothing can break my heart

People come and people go
The road is long, a highway home
I wish I knew that everything so
Now nothing can break my heart

2016, gave it all to that relationship
I fell in love with him while he was still in love with pills
I promised to myself I'll never let nobody near
Young girl, it ain't worth to shed a single tear

Heart like ice I put in a cup
Go for the cash, I get a little drunk
Shut the door, don't deal with the past
I graduate, my major - life

Two races, mix in my blood
I'm proud of who I am right now
People doubt me
“Watch and take your time to figure it out

People come and people go
The road is long, a highway home
I wish I knew that everything so
Now nothing can break my heart

People come and people go
The road is long, a highway home
I wish I knew that everything so
Now nothing can break my heart

Good times, no that ain't for the ones who struggle
I know that poverty is worse than any weapon out there
We had to get it out the mud and everyday was something
Yeah I still pray on my knees, a roof is not for granted

Let me dedicate this song to all the single mamas
Sacrificing their dreams to raise their sons and daughters
I can feel pain, I seen it in my own mama
I swear I'll make it for you, I'm not leaving empty handed
