Live It Out

Everyone lives a life
  a lie, a secret
Its best to be a believer that life is not a fairy tale
  I hear her crying
I see her falling
  I tried to lift her up
Instead of getting hurt
  Life is hard but she was almost rape by her boyfriend
Thank God he was there
  and really was with her
Still time after time
  She knew it was a crime
And she till stayed until
  he start putting his hands on her
She woke up to an abusive matter 
  Only way to escape was 
to leave her boyfriend over the phone
  You got to live it out

Come on listen
  pay attention
Everyone want their voices 
  to be heard
Everyone knows we live a 
  teary eyed world
Ain't nobody ever satisfied
  Until they see someone shot up
Life may be hard
  but will you be the one to make that change
Don't fade out
  Be strong
hold on, if we do
  We got to live it out

I wanna live my life to its fulliest
  Some people say I wanna live right
But others make me do wrong
  Cut the lying, cut the schezzing, the breakhearts of cheating
Only you live for you
  And I live for me
Can't nobody control you 
  Can't nobody live for you
You make your own decisions
  Whether right or wrong
Don't mean you have to put one down
  Live life as its your last day
Cause your time could be today
  So live it out
