lyrics

Raised me in a hotel room
I was ten years old paying rent soon
You couldn’t care less that my futures got a pretty dim brightness
Told me life wasn’t fair
Doesn’t mean you can make me sleep on the stairs
I knew what was going on but you just couldn’t confess

Don’t ask me where’d my little girl go
Cause mama I’m standing right here and you still don’t seem to know
I won’t ask you how you afford to put a roof over my head
Cause it’s half past one a.m. and I had to put myself to bed
The priest can’t bless your heart if you deny the holy water
Will I always be the drug dealers daughter

Throughout my life I had to accept the fact that you were the one that threw me off track
No, you were no mother from the start
I don’t blame you for the way I am I’m just trying to do whatever I can
To change the ways of your heart

Don’t ask me where’d my little girl go
Cause mama I’m standing right here and you still don’t seem to know
I won’t ask you how you afford to put a roof over my head
Cause it’s half past two a.m. and you didn’t care if I’d been fed
The priest can’t bless your heart if you deny the holy water
Will I always be the drug dealers daughter

I’m not your little girl anymore
Every night I was the one who locked the door
Oh mama can’t you hear me
Just because you stopped doesn’t mean you’re clean
What goes on in that malicious mind
You’d drop everything and leave me behind
Just for some cold hard cash
Not colder than your heart oh I know that

Don’t ask me where’d my little girl go
Cause mama I’ve been right here and you still don’t seem to know
I won’t ask you how you afford to put a roof over my head
Cause it’s almost four a.m. you could be home but I’m here alone instead
The priest can’t bless your heart if you deny the holy water
Will I always be, will I always be the drug dealers daughter
Will I always be the drug dealers daughter
