On And On

Young girls will soon become
Streetwalkers in the night
Young boys are restless, free
Looking for a fight
Children from rich and poor
They're searching for the truth
And if they don't find it
God help them all

Pretty girl don't even know she's beautiful
Ugly inside, getting high is the usual
Wasting her time, too blind to open her eyes
And now she's caught up in the life she cries at night
Humming along to every song on the radio
Just as pretty as any model in a video
Hard to get on unless you're wearing a thong
Right or wrong still it goes on and on and on and oh

This is for my people who are struggling
Making something out of nothing
Ain't it real when there's bills to pay?
It's the same thing going on and on everyday

To all my little girls around the world
Hold your head up, just be strong
And all the little boys you can rise
You be strong, keep your eyes focused
Keep on and on

Look at him, he wants a chin like a popstar
Change everything he has to cover up the scars
He'll get his break if that's what it takes
'Til he can't recognise his own face
Help his case, he'll pretend and even call you a friend
Like he couldn't care less the complexion of your skin
But the feeling is strong like he just don't belong
And still it goes on and on

This is for my people who are struggling
Making something out of nothing
Ain't it real when there's bills to pay?
It's the same thing going on everyday

To all my little girls around the world
Hold your head up, just be strong
And all the little boys you can rise
You be strong, keep your eyes focused
Keep on and on

On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on

To all my little girls around the world
Hold your head up, just be strong
And all the little boys you can rise
You be strong, keep your eyes focused
Keep on and on
To all my little girls around the world
Hold your head up, just be strong
And all the little boys you can rise
You be strong, keep your eyes focused
Keep on and on

On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
