3:59Young 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
