Lyrics

?YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

(1st Verse)
I?m a little ass chick wanna spit ill rhymes, what bitch you know got a flow like mine
Yeah, I?m only 15, but is it a crime, can you be mad cause I spit shit ahead of my time
My mind?s grown up, my age is just slackin that means knowledge I got but age I?m lacking
Little baby girl, and I?m up in this money hungry male dominated rap business
A lot of controversy people talkin? this and that
No she?s never gonna make it, cause she?s not black
Please, I do what I please, and how could I lose with lyrics like these
But still, people hatin? on the kid, don?t wanna see me make it, don?t wanna see me big
You know I?m not gonna stop, I got this far, but you know what I mean, man, this shit gets hard

(CHORUS)
You know what I mean, you know what I mean, you know what I mean (know what I mean)
repeat

(2nd Verse)
Yeah life?s fucked up and sometimes I feel like quittin? it
But I know it?s true when it?s gone I?ll be missing it
I been through mad shit I won?t even mention, so now fake fuckers I pay you no attention
I know you understand and you feel how I feel. Surrounded by people who can?t keep it real
Now I got a dream that you think you can kill, shit stop hatin? all I want is a deal
Planning a scheme on how to make shit better
But there?s weight on my shoulders I just can?t get rid of
And yet, I keep my head held high, don?t ever see tears fallin? from my pretty eyes
Keep the bad as experience for me to learn from
Keep the good shit as memories to look back on
Keep a smile on my face and always follow my dreams
Won?t let life get me down, you know what I mean

(CHORUS)

(3rd Verse)
Eveybody thinkin? that they know all the answers
Opinions going round me like a million different cancers
But I got my own thoughts and lyrics to say
I?ve been through more in my life than people twice my age
And just because you?re bigger, don?t mean you do it better
Might be more experienced, I give it to you fresher
Cause I?m known as the rhyming Lolita
Seduce you with my words if you?re hungry I will feed ya
Just let me be free and be who I wanna be
Make my own decisions and see who I wanna see
I might make mistakes, I might fuck up, but really isn?t that all a part of growing up
It?s a big-ass world, I ain?t saying I can change it
But my mind is like a tiger so don?t try and cage it
I?m being positive tryin? to make you see there should be more love and less hate
You know what I mean

(CHORUS OUT)
