Lyric Latonya

(Didn t your Mama tell you how to behave,girl?
Didn t your Daddy tell you not to wear that little thing?)
Been told you never get something for nothing
My stepfather Dickie say I just might get hit
If I don t give

The girls all shisper hind my back
They try to break me whith cruel attacks
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it, don t complain

Daddy s gone, Mama lost her job
Our house ain t a home no more
Still my faith s unshaken in God

I feel so lonely for hope and company
I don t take much and I give everything for free
(So, don t you want me?)

The girls all whisper hind by back
My baby brother s smoking crack
The boys they want only one thing
And so I give it, don t complain

Daddy s gone, Mama lost her job
Our house ain t a home no more
Still my faith s unshaken in god

I dream I get a record deal
I ll buy a way out of here
Or maybe a new Lexus jeep
Or just a friend (Am I dreamin ? Am I dreamin ?)
There s Mr. roberts,Juan and Paul
All waiting for me down the hall
But then tomorrow they don t call
Still a moment s better than none at all

Daddy s gone (My name is La Tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain t a home no more (I ll be sixteen in August)
Since Mama broke her soul (I like to sing in chorus)
Daddy s gone (My name is La Tonya)
Mama lost her job (I am a sophomore)
Our house ain t a home no more (I ll be sixteen in August)

Still my faith s unshaken
Lord won t you please save me?
Is this the new slavery?
Here on the ghetto pavement?
But I believe in you baby
Yes, my faith s unshaken
In God
