Heaven Only Knows

Lyrics

[Chorus] Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows) Heaven only knows (Uh-huh) Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows) Heaven only knows My story [Verse 1] Went from dancin' on tabletops to makin' labels pop For the love of the money, so I could cop everything From icy rings to drop-tops and now I'm on top But to look back on my reality, happy I stopped Lettin' niggas ruin my world Impressed by niggas tryna school this baby girl, I was fuckin' too early Fifteen, knowin' money was green, puffin' too early Body big, not grown, knowledge duckin' too early Thought it was cute to flirt with older cats up in they face Didn't have a daddy, so I put a daddy in his space My mommy was my shelter, but I broke free Learnin' that the streets was harder than I thought they'd be Wantin' to be grown, rebellin' Ain't no tellin' what I'd be, pussy sellin'? Huh, never would I Instead I wore a G-string, thought never could I Thought I had to to be grown, beginning of my life, but [Chorus] Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows) Heaven only knows Heaven only knows Heaven only knows [Verse 2] Yo, close myself down, held myself in Explode by myself alone, no one helpin' What am I to do but cry alone at night? No one in the house, nude TV was my life Who was I to tell and what would they think of me? No one understood the pain that was sent to me Broke down from the things men would say to me Sellin' dreams to a naive kid, I blame me But I really never had someone tell me what to do Teach me that I'm better than just pussy, that's true Teach me that the future was written, already waitin' To respect myself in life, not to be consumed with hatin' Do positive and positive will happen Stay positive and positive was rappin' It was like my brain was clouded with unnecessary shit But I chose to see through the negative and make hits (Uh) [Chorus] Heaven only knows (Uh) Heaven only knows Heaven only knows (Yeah, yeah) Heaven only knows Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows) Heaven only knows (Uh-huh) Heaven only knows Heaven only knows (Uh, uh, yo, yo) [Verse 3] Now I'm twenty years old and look where I'm at I thank Allah every night and pray there's no turning back I wanna keep my family happy and that's that Seen tears in my mother's eyes from platinum plaques See, things I've done, I don't regret, I just learn From mistakes in the past, knowing now I had to earn Respect and earn trust, survivin' school was never given The way you find out what life's about is simply livin' To be strong, stay strong, let nobody crush you Your body is your temple, young girls, don't let him touch you He'll respect anything you say if he really loves you Don't settle for second, let him put no one above you I did a lot of things in my life I take back Gotta take from the good and the bad, collect that 'Cause it help the bill, who you see now, respect that Young, Black, and strong, keep me in your tape deck, but [Chorus] Heaven only knows Heaven only knows Heaven only knows Heaven only knows Heaven only knows Heaven only knows Heaven only knows Heaven only knows
