As a youth, each Sunday, Dawn went to Church and
|
Paid her respects and not to mention was a virgin.
|
Kid pushed up, Dawn lettin' him
|
Since he made her laugh and all the other girls was sweatin' him.
|
Then things started to move without cause
|
And a couple o'months later kid's pushin' for the drawers.
|
Under pressure while exchangin' glances
|
Dawn finally gives in to the sexual advances.
|
Although it was a mad high cost for her
|
Cuz' after the thrill was gone, so was the lust for her.
|
Eventually he left her for another.
|
Now feeling alone and betrayed by her lover
|
She cried--for no longer knew which way she headed.
|
Once dreamed of actually wearing white at her wedding
|
And really being pure, now she thought she'd die without.
|
Still she finds strength to continue with her life without
|
Love...
|
Without love...
|
Without love...
|
Without love...
|
|
Verse two of Dawn's life--the second segment.
|
What could be worse than to now find out you're pregnant?
|
Poor Dawn couldn't sleep--laid awake
|
Not ready for a child and plus her mother's gonna break.
|
As she doesn't know how she's gonna bring up the subject,
|
Consequences of being used as an object.
|
In church though time's runnin' thin
|
She decides to have the child because the doesn't want to sin.
|
Props to the girl although it hit hard times;
|
It was Hell finishin' school and working part-time.
|
Yet Dawn did it though her youth went to waste.
|
Little help from the government, she got her own place.
|
HARD for an indepentant woman and a kid
|
And as soon as she could get off the assistance, she did.
|
Without no man who she once thought she'd die without
|
Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without
|
Love...
|
Life without love...
|
Life without love...
|
Continue with her life without love...
|
|
While Dawn worked two jobs tryin' to meet ends,
|
Her son was busy cuttin' school and hangin' with his friends.
|
So when she got words she tried to slap out the taste in his mouth
|
And explain how important education is.
|
Under stress, she takes two Bufferin.
|
Son now tired of seein' his poor mother sufferin'.
|
Starts to sell drugs though the cops did a raid.
|
Guess who's in the mix, and being legal age
|
Could do time, please call her employer
|
To inform her that her son is gonna' need a lawyer.
|
Never no good news, just more strife.
|
Dawn barely havin' enough time to live her own life.
|
Here's the judge's sentence, beggin' and pleadin'.
|
Now spends nine hours on the bus to go and see him.
|
Here's the judge's sentence, beggin' and pleadin'.
|
Now spends nine hours on the bus to goa nd see him.
|
Without no man who she once thought she'd die without
|
Still she finds the strength to continue with her life without
|
Love...
|
Life without love...
|
Life without love...
|
Life without love...
|
Continues life without love...
