"Good Girl" is about guidance for our young ladies. Many people don't show what's hurting them and they make decisions based on this pain. Sometimes our young girls are too willing to put themselves in harm's way in the name of "love". We honor those young ladies those who are now ancestors.
lyrics
chorus:
[Good girl, good energy
sweet heart no enemies
nobody hates her, but some of them envy
and the boys all chase her, tell her ‘girl you so pretty’
the boys all chase her, tell her ‘girl you so pretty’
Good girl, good energy
sweet heart no enemies
nobody hates her, but some of them envy
and the boys all chase her, tell her girl you so pretty
the boys all chase her, tell her girl you so pretty]
But her heart burns
for maniac-pyros
the mirrors inside her
crack when the fire blows
and her heart yearns
for something to hold on
she kinda fragile
he make her feel grown
he got that good stuff
beast with two backs
she think it’s real love
he dont think that
no future-
no titles-
no burdens-
no bridals-
he keep it solid
she’s just a trifle
a trophy
some candy
some thing to keep handy
when he feel like playing
when he done with slangin’
she can do better
but she’s impressed with his game
wouldn’t leave if he let her
she like how he slang it
Good girl good energy
sweetheart no enemies
nobody hates her
but she might internally
her mama say:
<<stop!
what you doing is killing me
you gotta make
better decision
his love is fake
puts you in fucked up positions!>>
but some call it fate
they say the future was written
the bullets-
the entrance-
the exit -
the imprints-
he was the target
but she was the victim
collapsing her ventricles
turning seats crimson
you couldn’t argue
‘cause she wouldn’t listen
and I feel so sorry
I knew her potential
but some stars
shine so bright
when they fall
and her mama wants
her baby back in her arms
her mama want her baby back in her arms
chorus:
[Good girl, good energy
sweetheart, no enemies
nobody hated her
some of them envied
and the boys all chased her
told her ‘girl you so pretty’
Good girl, good energy
sweet heart no enemies
nobody hates her, but some of them envy
and the boys all chase her, tell her ‘girl you so pretty’
the boys all chase her, tell her ‘girl you so pretty’]
But her heart burns for someone to belong
to, make her whole, make her feel strong
her heart yearns for something to hold on
she tryin’ to gow up
he made her feel grown
he got that good stuff
the beast with two backs
she think it’s real love
he dont think that
no future-
no titles-
no burdens-
no bridals-
plenty would love her
but she’s in denial
Her heart burns
for maniac-pyros
mirrors inside her
cracked when the fire blows
and her heart yearns
for something to hold on
she was so fragile
and we just did not know
she felt outta place
and no one could see it
a smile always on her face
so hard to believe it
now the ancestral gates
they happy to see her
and she finally is safe
and we R.I.P her
chorus:
[Good girl, good energy
sweet heart no enemies
nobody hates her, but some of them envy
and the boys all chase her, tell her ‘girl you so pretty’
Good girl, good energy
sweet heart no enemies
another page in ghetto history
wish i could change
how the story ends
she was a good girl]
good girl
good girl
good girl
