why she got thrown into someone else's hands,
             Gb              Db            F7
why she woke up to strange men,
Bb                Gb
they tore her to pieces
                       Db
and she couldn't comprehend,
            F7
why she was locked up in a basement,
             Bb
filled with men.

Should've gone to school,

Mama sold me,

all those promiscuous games she had to play,

she skipped the jungle, jungle-gym phase.


Bb               Gb                           Db

                 F7                               Bb
sees the light peekin' through the end of the hallway,
 Gb               Db                     F7
No, She's tryin' tryin' tryin' to escape

Db                             F7
