Elevate the Fire

15 years old, she's headed to the club
fake I.D, taking all drugs, showing love
draped in the latest rugs, dissing scrubs

Her momma was fast, and her aunt was to
now daughter and niece about to break loose

Put your make up on in the mirror
is you running the girls big vera
alcohol makes your true mind think clearer

A pack of city girls, with no mercy
caught her slipping involve, the man wasn't worthy
but his women was worried

When he was kicking it with 15
she waited alone, and beat her down
chewing dentyne

Her sister threaten her life
and punctured a hole, in the tire
the young one, pulled her pistol that was stashed
and fired
this late night buzz expires

Followed by the choir
just to elevate the fire
