Now I sit here watching the rain
I ask myself why do I feel so much pain
A person raped me of my emotions
To make me as heartless as them
Somebody tried to murder my self-image
And I slowly died to be the person they wanted me to be
I changed everything about me that I loved the most
Just because I loved them and wanted them to stay
Crazy me right?
I starved myself of love because I wasn’t used to being treated good
I killed anybody who tried to show me any type of affection
And for what reason?
Because I felt like nobody can love a girl like me
I’m no beauty queen or a super model
I’m not a size six with a size two shoe
I can’t dance like the girls in the rap videos
But then I meet this strange man and he just wouldn’t quit
You look so beautiful was his hook
Smile he would scream from across the street
Hold your head up baby, stop looking at your feet
He just wouldn’t quit so I decided to ask him why
And this is how he replied
Everybody get’s hurt from our babies to our elders
Now rather you stay down that’s up to you
You’re too beautiful to let anybody anybody put you down including you
Everybody is a diamond in my eyes
You just have a little dirt on you
So can you brush it off you
And shine like your supposed to

“Hold your head up baby, stop looking at your feet”
I think your timing of “baby” was really well placed here. It’s sexy and demeaning and emotional all at the same time.
