Eve - Heaven Only Knows lyrics
[Eve - Heaven Only Knows lyrics]
Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows heaven only knows
(Heaven only knows) heaven only knows
My story
Went from dancing on tabletops
To making labels pop
For the love of the money
So I could cock everything
From icy rings to drop
Tops and now I'm on top
But to look back on my reality
Happy I stopped letting niggas ruin my world
Impressed by niggas trying to
School this baby girl
I was fucking too early
15 knowing money was green, puffing too early
Body big, not grown
Knowledged up and 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 face
My mami was my shelter but I broke free
Learning that the streets was harder
That I thought they'd be
Wanting to be grown, rebelling
Ain't no telling what I'd be pussy selling
(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
Heaven only knows (Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows heaven only knows
(Heaven only knows) heaven only knows
Yo, close myself down, held myself in
Explode by myself alone, no one helping?
What am I to do but cry alone at night
No one in the house, nude TV is 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
Selling drinks to a naive kid, I blame me
But, I never really 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 waiting to respect my self in life
Not to be someone would hate me
Do positive and positive will happen
Stay positive and positive was rapping
It was like my brain was
Clouded with unnecessary shit
But, I chose to see through
The negative and make hit's, uh
Heaven only knows heaven only knows
(Heaven only, uh huh) 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
Now I'm 20 years old and look where I'm at
I thank the Lord 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
Some about school was never givin'
The way you find out what
Life's about is simply living
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 ya
Take that
Heaven only knows heaven only knows
Heaven only knows heaven only knows
Heaven only knows heaven only knows
Heaven only knows heaven only knows
Heaven only knows heaven only knows
(Heaven only knows) heaven only knows
