(It's louder)
She was a small city girl with big city dreams
Who wanna put it in her, withdraw like a Citi card
But now she shake that ass for tips at the titty bar
Mommy and daddy miss her, she left for the fame
Bigger house, 10,000 dollar purse fam
You complain for the life you supposed to have
Acting on thirst, 'She Wants To Move' like a N.E.R.D. fan
Now gotta make a choice, go home or get high
(Hahaha)
Hit her wit the cream 'til they figured out the schemes
Really like Huey Lewis looking for a new drug
She looking for love in all of the above
Try to hold back your tears baby
She quick to hop up on his dick straight Hoopie style
She the ring leader in a clique of birds
Dreams shattered like broken glass
Niggaz try to figure how to get up in them jeans
But when you try to make plans God is known to laugh
(It's louder)
Yeah, wait a second
Her shit started to sag, she got surgery
(It's louder)
Not catching the bus, but back at the station
She let you in, she wanted rent by the 1st man
Louder than a bomb shattered in the air
Graduated to crack, smack on occasion
Now cats are used to drive past her like a Church van
'Cause coke's getting old, started free basing
Wait a second, what happens here baby?
Last hundred dollars, she got to 'Get By'
Flashing his toothy smile that drove little Lucy wild
Press ignore it and your hopes get broken fast
This the story of Lucy In The Sky Wit Diamonds
Start lining up the coke so she could find a rush
Hopped off the Greyhound, gotta make her way now
Throw a song on the phonograph, and Lucy start wilin'
Broken glass, everywhere
Ready to quit 'til she met the super pimp
(Muhfuckers is history)
Broken glass, everywhere
(How many of y'all think you can do what we do?)
She's sleeping on the park benches in the playground
Broken glass, everywhere
Now what's left is the dirt that's thrown on her name
Louder than a bomb shattered in the air
(How many of y'all think you can do what we do?)
Put her in them scenes, get her on the team
(It's louder)
(It's louder)
Louder than a bomb shattered in the air
The trick start smiling, watch the loot start flying
(It's louder)
The Gucci start pilling up, she live designer plush
(How many of y'all think you can do what we do?)
She need a ticket home if it's the right course
(It's louder)
She let the fella hit but she sang, she sell-a-bit
And they shadowy, like the silhouette behind the curtain
Gotta hope for the best and play 'em for the worst, c'mon
Ask her why she crying, she wanna live, she got no time for dying
Time's up, she's about to turn 33
(It's louder)
Back and forth pacing, acting all impatient
Broken glass, everywhere
Broken glass, everywhere
But cash burn quick, don't wanna have to turn trick
(It's louder)
She gotta get to New York and watch a door fall down
(It's louder)
(It's louder)
Wait a second, what happens here baby?
Was a science, dreams too big for a small town
(One, two, three, c'mon)
Try to hold back your tears baby
(It's louder)
(It's louder)
Yeah, wait a second
Now she all up in the club looking for a new love
(It's louder)
He ain't buying that, she ain't selling it
(It's louder)
Louder than a bomb shattered in the air
Yeah, wait a second
Broken glass, everywhere
Instead she bought a ticket to ride the white horse
Louder than a bomb shattered in the air
Believing videos, just trying to back up all on a thug
Louder than a bomb shattered in the air
C'mon
Wait a second, what happens here baby?
(One, two, three, c'mon)
Try to hold back your tears baby
