1
The alarm clock rung
2
Momma woke her out the bed
3
She's gettin' dressed for school
4
Puttin' barrettes in her head
5
An honor roll student real smart
6
That's what they said
7
Every morning when she left
8
Mom would cook her grits and eggs
9
Pops worked two jobs
10
To bring in the bread
11
Momma stayed in the kitchen
12
And kept her well fed
13
Now here she go
14
Quick to meet her friends
15
At the bus stop
16
On the avenue
17
That's when the old Cadillac dropped
18
The man that was drivin'
19
Snatched her up around 8 o'clock
20
While her friends and the bus driver
21
Waitin' down the block
22
No one heard her screamin'
23
He turned the bass up a notch
24
She was tampered with
25
Second floor in an abandoned spot
26
No telephone around
27
So she couldn't call the cops
28
He threw her in the bathroom
29
Made sure the door was locked
30
All she was thinkin'
31
"Why me?" and "Will it stop?"
32
All she was thinkin'
33
"Why me?" and "Will it stop?"
34
It's a damn shame
35
Chorus:
36
Damn shame
37
That someone
38
That someone would want to mess with you
39
And you just can't get them out your mind
40
Try to replace bad times with smiles
41
Let it out
42
Out right now
43
I know it's hard to talk about
44
You gotta keep going on with your life
45
Letting it out
46
Don't you let it back away
47
The school bell rung
48
For the first hour of school
49
Her teacher called her moms
50
Cuz she thinks she's skippin' school
51
But if only they knew
52
What was really goin' on
53
She's cryin' for your help
54
While y'all talkin' on the phone
55
The teacher's on the wrong subject
56
Sayin' that she think she grown
57
Somebody call the police
58
Damn callin' up Tyrone
59
So her mother filed a report on her own
60
This is the description that she gave what was known
61
Fifteen
62
She was last seen
63
Standin' on the corner
64
Eatin' ice cream
65
At the bus stop
66
On 10th Street and Milly Ave.
67
Just a few feet
68
From the spot
69
Where she stayed
70
Cute mini skirt
71
And french braids
72
Hundred-ten pounds
73
What she weighed
74
5 foot 2
75
Eyes blue-grey
76
Chorus
77
Now back to the abandoned spot
78
Where she's tryin' to pick the lock
79
So he threw her in his 'lac
80
Ridin' with the doors locked
81
Drove her through the woods
82
That was right around the block
83
Dropped her off at the hospital
84
In the parking lot
85
The school bell rung
86
For the end of a class
87
At the same time
88
She was runnin' in the flash
89
To go and call her mother
90
But her mother isn't there
91
And when she finally seen her
92
Speculation filled the air
93
Her momma don't believe her
94
She's keeps callin' her tricks and whores
95
Sayin' I told you 'bout them older men before
96
Her father didn't neither
97
Afraid to face the sticks and stones
98
And now she's searchin' for the grace to carry on
99
It's a damn shame
100
Chorus
101
Let it go
102
Let it go
103
I know it's hard
104
But you should let it go
105
Life goes on and you should know
106
If you let it go
107
Let it go
108
Let it go
109
You should let it go
110
I know you'll make it
111
If you let it go
112
Life goes on and you should know
113
Let it go
114
Let it go
115
Let it go
116
Let it go
117
I know it's hard
118
But you should let it go
119
Life goes on and you should know
120
If you let it go
121
Let it go
