My God Died Young

I was killed in my mothers womb Before I was born My God died young He did not believe in me. I had just turned seven I was the victim of some mans lust My god died young He did not believe in me. I had just turned twelve And was sold into a Brothel My God died young He did not believe in me I had just turned eighteen My face was scarred in rage and jealousy My god died young He did not believe in me. I had just turned twenty My life was snuffed out By my in-laws for dowry My god died young He did not believe in me My God died young He had no faith in me.
