"Heaven Only Knows" lyrics

Heaven only knows
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows
My story

Went from dancing on tabletops to making labels pop
For the love of the money so I could cock everything
From icy rings to drop, tops and now I'm on top
But to look back on my reality
Happy I stopped letting niggas ruin my world
Impressed by niggas trying to school this baby girl
I was fucking too early
15 knowing money was green, puffing too early
Body big, not grown
Knowledged up and too early
Thought it was cute to flirt with older cats up in they face
Didn't have a daddy so I put a daddy in his face
My mami was my shelter but I broke free
Learning that the streets was harder that I thought they'd be
Wanting to be grown, rebelling
Ain't no telling what I'd be pussy selling (Huh) never would I
Instead I wore a G-string, thought never could I
Thought I had to, to be grown beginning of my life

Heaven only knows
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows

Yo, close myself down, held myself in
Explode by myself alone, no one helping?
What am I to do but cry alone at night
No one in the house, nude T.V. is my life
Who was I to tell? And what would they think of me?
No one understood the pain that was sent to me
Broke down from the things men would say to me
Selling drinks to a naive kid, I blame me
But I never really had someone tell me what to do
Teach me that I'm better than just pussy, that's true
Teach me that the future was written
Already waiting to respect my self in life
Not to be someone would hate me
Do positive and positive will happen
Stay positive and positive was rapping
It was like my brain was clouded with unnecessary shit
But I chose to see through the negative and make hits, uh

Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
(Heaven only, uh-huh)
Heaven only knows
(Yeah, yeah)
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows
(Uh-huh)
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows

Uh, uh, yo, yo
Now I'm 20 years old and look where I'm at
I thank the Lord every night and pray there's no turning back
I wanna keep my family happy and that's that
Seen tears in my mother's eyes from platinum plaques
See things I've done, I don't regret I just, learn
From mistakes in the past knowing now I had to earn respect and earn trust
Some about school was never givin'
The way you find out what life's about is simply living
To be strong, stay strong, let nobody crush you
Your body is your temple young girls, don't let him touch you
He'll respect anything you say if he really loves you
Don't settle for second, let him put no one above you
I did a lot of things in my life I take back
Gotta take from the good and the bad collect that
'Cause it help the bill who you see now respect that
Young, black, and strong keep me in ya, take that

Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
Heaven only knows
