What $60 Can Buy You

Mama's on *****, getting up in the kitchen.

Bringing home many different hours of the night.

Starting with some laughs, usually ending in a fight.

Sneaking in the room when her mama's knocked out.

Trying to have his way and little Lisa says, "Ouch."

She tries to resist, but then all he does is beat her.

Tries to tell her mom, but her mama don't believe her.

Lisa's stuck up in the world on her own.

Forced to think that hell is a place called home.

Nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack.

She says she's about to run away and never come back.

She said he trying to figure why the world is so cold.

Why she's not pretty and nobody seems to like her.

Alcoholic stepdad always want to strike up feels and amuses.

Gives her with some bruises.

Teachers ask questions.

She's making up excuses.

******** on the inside, crying on the outside.

It's only one girl really knows what she's about.

Her name is Little Stacy and they become friends.

Promise that they'll always be tight till the end.

Until one day, Little Stacy gets shot.
