The alarm clock rungMomma woke her out the bedShe's gettin' dressed for schoolPuttin' barrettes in her headAn honor roll student real smartThat's what they saidEvery morning when she leftMom would cook her grits and eggsPops worked two jobsTo bring in the breadMomma stayed in the kitchenAnd kept her well fedNow here she goQuick to meet her friendsAt the bus stopOn the avenueThat's when the old Cadillac droppedThe man that was drivin'Snatched her up around 8 o'clockWhile her friends and the bus driverWaitin' down the blockNo one heard her screamin'He turned the bass up a notchShe was tampered withSecond floor in an abandoned spotNo telephone aroundSo she couldn't call the copsHe threw her in the bathroomMade sure the door was lockedAll she was thinkin'"Why me?" and "Will it stop?"All she was thinkin'"Why me?" and "Will it stop?"It's a damn shameChorus:Damn shameThat someoneThat someone would want to mess with youAnd you just can't get them out your mindTry to replace bad times with smilesLet it outOut right nowI know it's hard to talk aboutYou gotta keep going on with your lifeLetting it outDon't you let it back awayThe school bell rungFor the first hour of schoolHer teacher called her momsCuz she thinks she's skippin' schoolBut if only they knewWhat was really goin' onShe's cryin' for your helpWhile y'all talkin' on the phoneThe teacher's on the wrong subjectSayin' that she think she grownSomebody call the policeDamn callin' up TyroneSo her mother filed a report on her ownThis is the description that she gave what was knownFifteenShe was last seenStandin' on the cornerEatin' ice creamAt the bus stopOn 10th Street and Milly Ave.Just a few feetFrom the spotWhere she stayedCute mini skirtAnd french braidsHundred-ten poundsWhat she weighed5 foot 2Eyes blue-greyChorusNow back to the abandoned spotWhere she's tryin' to pick the lockSo he threw her in his 'lacRidin' with the doors lockedDrove her through the woodsThat was right around the blockDropped her off at the hospitalIn the parking lotThe school bell rungFor the end of a classAt the same timeShe was runnin' in the flashTo go and call her motherBut her mother isn't thereAnd when she finally seen herSpeculation filled the airHer momma don't believe herShe's keeps callin' her tricks and whoresSayin' I told you 'bout them older men beforeHer father didn't neitherAfraid to face the sticks and stonesAnd now she's searchin' for the grace to carry onIt's a damn shameChorusLet it goLet it goI know it's hardBut you should let it goLife goes on and you should knowIf you let it goLet it goLet it goYou should let it goI know you'll make itIf you let it goLife goes on and you should knowLet it goLet it goLet it goLet it goI know it's hardBut you should let it goLife goes on and you should knowIf you let it goLet it go
