reveal - melika (lost ones) lyrics

it happened once upon a dream but it’s still as real as it seems/
let me set the scene about this pretty little teen/
went by the name malika, i met her in my teens/
attended the same same school, i knew her from fifteen/
i developed a crush, but it was never love/
we exchanged hugs and kisses, but never f-cked/
realized it wasn’t us, so it never ended in tears/
still kept in touch, and after several years/
she settled down with this bredder, i used to see them in the zones/
i thought he was a wasteman, but f-ck it, each to their own/
‘cos malika says she’s happy, and that’s something that i’m glad to see/
but slowly and gradually, the whole dream became a tragedy/
the first year p-ssed happily/
things started to change when her man started saying he wants a family/
at first she had doubts, malika wasn’t sure/
but malikas in love, she let him go up in her, raw/
(nothing happened) certain things are destiny/
and other things were never meant to be/
case in point, malika’s pregnancy/
no mattter how hard they tried, the test still showed white/
her man took it personal, like a blow to his pride/
told malika “you must be rotten inside/
and even if we did conceive a baby it’d probably die”/
malika started to cry, said she wants to run away/
and that was the first time that he punched her in the face/

chorus:

lost ones, lost ones/
yeah, we call ‘em lost ones/
lost ones, lost ones/
in the hood we call ‘em lost ones/
lost ones, lost ones/
everybody’s lost one/
lost ones, lost ones/

verse 2:
i still remember malika as that pretty little teen/
eyes deeper than philosophy, olive skin that gleamed/
if you seen her recently, she’s looking like a fiend/
and the ironic thing is that mailika means ‘queen’/
but her man don’t understand that, he treats her like a slave blood/
look closer you’ll see bruises benath the makeup/
she ain’t the same girl, i knew at 16/
look deep into her eyes, shes living in a sick dream/
losing her mental health, plus her respect for herself/
within her own home, she’s living in her own h-ll/
feels like shes enslaved, and her other half’s the jailer/
so now she looks for love in the arms of strangers/
she met a guy at work, he was a shoulder to cry on/
things soon progressed and they found a sofa to lie on/
a few months p-ssed, now there’s fear in her brain/
‘cos for the first time, her period never came/
the size of her mans ego meant he couldn’t see the truth/
it was really his seed that wouldn’t let them breed a youth/
and now shes finally pregnant, but her mans not the father/
she can’t tell him the truth, (why?) scared of the drama/
ran to her mother’s house, thought she would understand/
but her mothers disgusted she was with another man/
called mailika a ho, said she’s on her own/
packed a bag full of clothes and told her that she should go/
and now mailika’s on the road../

chorus:

lost ones, lost ones/
yeah, we call ‘em lost ones/
lost ones, lost ones/
in the hood we call ‘em lost ones/
lost ones, lost ones/
everybody’s lost one/
lost ones, lost ones/

wondering what coulda been/
shoulda been, woulda been/
i never saw her in the hood again
wondering what coulda been/
shoulda been, woulda been/
i never saw her in the hood again
