A teen in our 'hood' had her face slashed in the high school. She was beautiful and had just gotten a modeling contract. Why would this happen? Jealousy, misunderstandings, put downs. Our hearts went out to both young women - the victim and the victim. The physical injury showed. Hatin' words that had ripped through the heart of the perpetrator were still silenced and unknown to most..

Chorus #1 :  

Can’t change where I come from
Can’t change the color of my skin
Can’t change my differences
Just can stop my sin

Lookin’ tough on the outside
Frontin’ so nobody knows
What I’m feelin’ on the inside
When you toss those words of yours
True friends treat each other better
hold each other up to maintain
 ASS -sociates should know better
throwin’ down words that stain

 RAP - lil' Mama

Can’t change what I did back in time 
but I know one thing I am gonna shine 
I’m a souljar in the rough 
and na it’s on me to stay tough 
and na I’m gonna keep my mind right 
and my game tight. 
It’s just like we livin’ in a hallow bubble 
where people always startin'  trouble. 
Take my sins away.
I’m judge by what I did e'ry'day. 
            Stop hatin’ an          
             I’ll be OK

Chorus #2 :  

Deep inside I’m hurting
Deep inside I’m feeling the pain
Words cut me like a chain saw
Rippin’ through my heart
Rippin through my brain

Verse :  Lil’Angel        

If it ain’t the color of my eyes
It’s the length of my hair
I have one question
why would other people care
They hate on your outfit
They hate on your style
Take my advice 
It is not worthwhile
Don’t yell and scream
Don’t kick and fight 
Don’t explode like dynamite  
  All haters want to do
Is get a reaction from you.  

Chorus #1     Can’t change  

RAP: Baby Gurl:           

  Yo can mug me
cuz ya ain’t gotta love me.
But you don’t even know me.
You just look at me from the outside. 
Loud and wild, 
but that’s only cuz I’m proud.  
I like to form be crowds.
I never bow down to the haters.
They can hit the gaters.
I see em later. 
But instead of making that smile upside down. You should try it the other way round
and maybe you’ll make a few friends today.

 Chorus #2                   Deep Inside
