GOLD DIDN'T LOOK THIS GOOD AT FIRST

 They say She's not good enough
cant be my daughter's frend
cant be my sister's frend either,
she is bad influence
moves with the wrong crowd
nothing good can come out of this one
she is too irresponsible to be responsible
looks like thier mind is made " you are just a no good"
Oh my God she is just 12....with a whole life ahead of her
and she does some good things too
but they dont care, they Never cared

looks like they can tell the future better than you
quick to see your mistakes, your flaws, and your hang ups
sentence you to a lifetime of she will never make it
she doesnt do well in class, they say
how can she they ask?
when her mind is messed up with the wrong ideas
i bet you , my daughter or may be my sister is better
she just will never be able to match up
but den again cant they see she is just 12...with a whole life ahead of her
and she does some good things too
but they dont care, they never cared

never bothered to ask
why does she do what she does
why does she talk the way she talks
why does she move with the wrong crowd
maybe she's got a lot on her mind and needs someone to talk to
maybe she is trying to find herself in the midst of all her pain
maybe she is struggling for acceptance and love
maybe things arent as bad as we think they are
maybe theres so much tears, and sadness at home and in her heart
maybe just maybe
but they dont care....they never cared

yea they are so perfect, with perfect childhoods
perfect homes and perfect dreams
so perfect they never had to cry
so perfect they never made a mistake
damn too perfect, dat even perfect knew thier name
but we all know thats a lie....or dont we ?
i guess they never cared .....to even address thier own issues
cos everybody knew they had one.....

fast forward fifteen years
she is all grown , she is all womanly
intelligent, confident, fierce and daring proud black woman
she is beautiful , curvaceous with lovely brown eyes dat screams BRING IT ON
ooooh aaah i hear she's a lawyer now
and i hear she's been on tv
Every man who cant afford her as a wife , wants her as a gurlfrend atleast
bcos she's become every man's dream
Now they say...
she's my daughters friend or my sisters frend..
i knew her from way back...ooops u did?
i thot you said she was a no good?
Honey i know what i said..... but then she was just a kid
you know how kids can be......really?
Now you do care.....

Let's love,
Let's care, Let's help them grow
and show them the way to go
thats the only way to know
what demons they fight with every day
lets learn to look with Gods own eyes
only then ....only then would we truly care
cos honey... GOLD DIDN'T LOOK THIS GOOD AT FIRST!!!!
