eric west - samantha lyrics

[verse 1]
young fly girl really pretty left her city known to misbehave
like hoppin out her window sneakin out to get away
her academics ugly didn’t give a sh-t for a grades
cuttin cl-ss and gettin high then they sent her to l.a
soon enough government had took they residence
ain’t want they baby without a roof and so her parents sent
her to grandparents home all this cuz of foreclosure
they said “stay here we need to work so we can afford to support ya”
too hard to make friends in this new place when she arrived
sh-t was weird for while but that is no surprise
after all that drama troubles were still in her life
after all this she was still stuck livin in strife
she met me and my homie kevin
way back when think i was a freshman
we were her first friends here now we’re like best friends
bondin through poker in the lobby sh-t was heaven
or at least for me, behind the scenes secretley she was still stressin
i would have never known til a year later when she confessed it
see it wasn’t just us three there was another in our presence
his name was jonny and i never would have guessed it
but he was shady like palm trees now get ready cuz this depressin

[hook]
listen up listen up this her song, yeah
who can you trust? can you trust? there’s no love yeah
listen up listen up this her song yeah
its way too much way too much

[verse 2]
he was shady like palm trees now get ready cuz this depressin
awkward yet at ease but behind the scenes he was aggressive
he was in love with her c’s, tryna make her start undressin
didn’t he know that no means no? so why was he steady pressin?
couldn’t get inside her jeans he was desperate
think he was 1+18 well one day my friend said this
“did you know jonny had to leave?” and after this next line i felt sick
he left because he f-cked a tween age 14 and got her pregnant
but f-ck that man sl-t this sammy’s song so let us move our minds
mother’s weed addiction made her not have school supplies
how could my poor -ss help her when even god couldn’t?
“momma no more blunts please im tryna be a smart woman”
stomach empty started recycling diggin through trash
still couldn’t make friends cuz all of them just wanted -ss
she was 16 they called her sl-t none of this sh-t happened back
in san francisco then one day it all changed in chem cl-ss

[hook]
listen up listen up this her song, yeah
who can you trust? can you trust? there’s no love yeah
listen up listen up this her song yeah
its way too much way too much

[verse 3]
she had a boyfriend now she met him in chem cl-ss
and this guy seemed kinda different. wasn’t fiending for the -ss
didn’t appear to be schemin how long was this going to last?
they made it through a year or two and then sh-t went downhill fast
no need for bbq no apr-n on he ain’t a chef
no cook but mastered chemistry he got hooked on meth
he got kicked outta his home ol georgie porgie was a mess
her parents unemployed again she thinking what do i do next?
george grew paranoid with all the drugs started fiending with it
swears she sleep with everybody its complete addiction
threats against her life choked her several times she imprisoned
i dont care who you are you a b-tch for beating women
he had convos all on his own his mind was gone she got socked out
you f-ck my friends? no i didn’t pulled by the hair dragged cross the ground
they had no home she all alone they broke n cold he wouldn’t stop
no self control dropped to the floor he bust her dome in parking lot
senior year she lived with him but his momma called 5’0
mom hated both of them and all they fights she want them gone
so they lived in local park fight again she screaming stop
head cracked open he grabs her phone and calls her pops
little did she know her and her mom on the same road
mom and her new man both on crack then they fought he broke her nose
why’s mom in and out the hospital? n-body knows
but she anemic, liver failure, and got infection in her throat
withdrawal is a b-tch it make a chick attack her child
they tried to save their mom but then she left em sh-t was wild
who knew her nightmares of her ex would stop only to come to life
in the form of her mother and her boyfriend age 25
father and daughter fighting with him for mother’s honor
try to get her to trade drugs for love but she didn’t want em
dear god please let this child breathe she got enough problems
just let her live her life in peace without all this drama

[hook]
listen up listen up this her song, yeah
who can you trust? can you trust? there’s no love yeah
listen up listen up this her song yeah
its way too much way too much

[verse 4]
little samantha, the beaten bruised and betrayed
ptsd and ocd wonder how you’re doin today
it’s been many years since you finally strayed
from the path of misery that all of those sc-mbags have pathed
hope you doin ok. ain’t checked on you in a minute
you 300 miles away writin this makes me wanna visit
how did you ever sleep at night? must’ve been wicked
many people with you experiences in life would have stopped existin
but not you you’re way stronger than weightlifters
with all them drugs you dope af must have got way slimmer
you traded that for monster cans i bet you shaked, jittered
and freezed but now you’re free glad you escaped sister
knew you wasn’t like them fiends who need their crystals through iv’s
no matter how hard you judge yourself that bad in you’s not what i see
st-rdy as rock hotter than fox that’s what i believe
you once revived the little light of hope i thought had died in me
you once inspired me thats when i knew that i was down for you
whipe your frown my boo, if there’s anyone who shouldn’t be down its you
i mean you gotta keep ya head cuz the words from 2pac was true
if i can’t walk with my head down as a powerful woman how could you
you’ve struggled more than enough you’ve endured much in your existance
i was on my way home thought i’d text to see how you livin
we caught up i was writing a song and asked you for an opinion
eventually you was tellin me about how now your life is so different
you said tell my story eric make sure everyone listen
make a song to tell my tale and inspire all of the women
and the little girls in this world especially ones who are victims
to circ-mstance or hands of man, let em know they ain’t in prison
and so i grab my pen this a message to a females
yall can’t be crucified so don’t let yourself be nailed
if you can’t just know your brain is a train so dont ever get derailed
regardless of earth your soul flies free dont let it ever be jailed
do all you can to stay strong even if you’re getting impaled
learn from samantha’s tale know yall can always prevail
even when you’re heated even when you feel blood boil
even if you cry even if you’re being beaten right into the soil
even when you’re shamed even when your self esteem is spoiled
even when you’re a queen and you ain’t treated like you royal
even if you’re lost and forgot what it means to be joyful
even if he has you whipped calls you a b-tch and never is loyal
know that more often than not it’s men who die of cancer
i wrote to give yall strength power in each word of the stanza
you’re never weak dont be be bleak dont quit cuz you ain’t finding answers
just know theres always hope to escape you too can be free like samantha
