Mama Always Said

I was sitting on the coach one day and
mama she took a look at me and she said
my little princess can you see
for the drugs you are taken ,
shall soon take you away from me.
She held me tight in her arms
as tight as can be with tears falling
from her cheeks
,for the drugs you are taken shall soon end your life.
so here i lay as i watch my mothers face
as the doctors tell her i am going to die
for mama said life is never easy and we must learn to fight
for mama please show me how to fight
for your little girl does not want to die
