Artist: LaLa f/ Diamonique (uncredited) Album: La La Land Song: Sad Girl (Remix) Typed by: Wammy Giveaway [LaLa] (Verse 1) This is the story of a little sad girl Who made something out of nothing in a sad world Papi mowed lawns just enough to get by "It's okay, my little mija," he would say when she would cry Mami couldn't care, she was pregnant all the time So mi' had to be a woman, she was only nine Raising all her sisters, Hail Mary, she would pray In and out of different schools, fighting every other day And her home girls were busy having three or four babies So WIC could pay the rent But mija was different, the life they were living This really ain't made no sense Refrain: LaLa Cause deep in the valley, they say there were pockets At night, you should never go But for mija, this was a place called home Cause it's all that she's ever known (Sad girl) Chorus: LaLa Don't ever feel alone I sing you this song (Sad girl) I know these streets are mean Hang on to your dreams (Sad girl) Don't cry, just dry your eyes Go on, live your life (Sad girl) Don't worry, hold your head up high (Verse 2) Nothin' don't change, growin' up and being poor Wonderin', if you'll ever be rich and seeing more than Broken down cars in the yards of gang zones and Broken shattered windows lookin' into broken homes But mija was a rose, and she knew it from the start And she had a voice, cause she was speakin' from the heart She dropped out of school to make this music dream real Through the corny girl groups and all the shady deals It's hard to be a sad girl in a man's world With a big booty and brains I gotta stay strong, represent where I'm from And be proud of my family name Repeat Refrain Repeat Chorus [Rap Verse: Diamonique (LaLa in background)] Gotta keep your faith up everyday, for them, it's hard to see But I grew up like you, home girl, I'm knowin' how it be I moved around in all the twenty cities out here in Cali So I never been (???), stability in being happy Mama always stayed brown Daddy was locked down I always felt sad inside, thank God, I'm not now Life is a rollercoaster, live it and ride Cause everybody got a story, there'll be more better times, don't cry Let your spirit shine Get your mind on the grind Cause if I did it, you can too Keep your eyes on the prize Stay, starvin' for stardom cause the race is multiplyin' Get, diein' to get it, becomin' civil, it's live or die Surrounded by haters and instigators with greedy pockets Stop at nothin' to see you fail, without an option Yeah And this is how it really be Diamonique I was once a sad girl up in them streets (Sad girl) Repeat Chorus [LaLa] Sad girl Don't ever feel alone I sing you this song (Sad girl) Just hold it up, mija Go on and live your life
