Say it first
For me now
Say it first
For me now for me now
A teenage marvel all of sixteen
Had great dreams of bein' a beauty queen
Well now she's part of the system
Y'see her parents tried but she just wouldn't listen
Dropped out of school
Fifteen years old and she acted the fool
She thought life was a dream
When her friends called her club she just holds her head and screams
But it's too late
Life wasn't great but she just couldn't wait to be mature
And explore the father of the child clean walked out the door
Didn't wanna know
Came home one day packed his things and had to go
Makes you sit and wonder how
Just say a prayer for me now
Don't save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after
No no don't save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after
White old man who you see on the streets
With a bottle to his lips every week
He didn't always be that way
But look how his life's gon' changed
He used to be someone
Now everyone thinks he's a bum and the kids just run
Plus they like to tease they thrash their knees
And say his clothes has fleas
People all over are dyin'
Politicians keep on lyin'
They gotta spend my money on war
Yet we can't feed the poor
I wish my lips on a yacht
I poured my lips on the doorway of a shop
But don't ask me how just say a prayer for me now
Don't save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after no no
Save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after
Don't save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after no no
Save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after
I see things through adult eyes
But when I was young I wasn't quite so wise
A lot of things would pass me by
But now when I see these things I ask why
Is the world this way
Why are kids on my streets scared to go out and play
Why do old folks shar across the street whenever I walk by
If the wheeling for dealing for stealing
And the temptation's is appealing
But I know what a change soon come
With the risin' of the sun
Don't save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after no no
Save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after
Don't save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after no no
Save your breath for me now
Save it till the morning after
