 Why, in East LA
      AbAb            GbGb
There's a little girl dreaming of her family

Another?lost soul's what you'll wind up?being"

 Later on, in her teenage years
    AbAb                GbGb
After a million disappointments and some dried up tears, yeah
BbmBbm            Bb majorBb
 Ran to the streets to be safe from fear
   AbAb
Of another group home that she'll wind up leaving

Pre-Chorus:
BbmBbm    DbDb        AbAb
 No, don't got no chance at life
      GbGb
No, might just end up dying
BbmBbm   DbDb      AbAb
 No, no parents or no rights
    GbGb
So, so hold back from crying


Chorus:
BbmBbm       DbDb        AbAb
 Been falling in quicksand all her life
       GbGb        BbmBbm
Hoping for a hand to pull her out
       DbDb        AbAb
She tried to leave this world behind

What is love really when you're high on drugs?

 He taught her how to hold a gun
    AbAb              FF
And to keep her hand steady while he bags the money
BbmBbm       DbDb
 Knock the dirty mattress down
AbAb               GbGb
Hundred dollar bills and they roll around
BbmBbm         DbDb
 Police are kicking down the door
  AbAb          GbGb
She got tripped up and he takes off running

No white picket fence she can call her home
