Born to be loved Born to be free Born to be everything That my gifts will let me be But I feel strange things Too much for my mind And I take the shame And I go run and hide Chorus Cause I’m 13 and I workin’ these mean streets I want love, I want affection But I don’t know I’m lookin in the wrong direction Said I’m 13, I’m 13 Said I’m just 13 I’m a tenderoni I’m a girlwomanchild I wan’t my mama And I need my daddy’s smile Who is my friend Who is my enemy Will you treat me right Or take advantage of me Chorus Cause I’m 13 and I workin’ these mean streets I want love, I want affection But I don’t know I’m lookin in the wrong direction Said I’m 13, I’m 13 Said I’m just 13 (repeat) I’m searching, searching 4x Help me be a winner Cause I’m a beginner I might be an offender But I am not a sinner Cause I’m 13 I’m 13 Said I’m 13, I’m 13 Said I’m just 13 I’m just 13 I’m 13

And my name is Deaky and I wanna do the __ with you.” He said, I like it, need it, wanna touch it, let me squeeze it Wanna do the __ with you Crave it, save it, be your slave if, let me pay ya Wanna do the __ with you He said, I like it, need it, wanna touch it, let me squeeze it Wanna do the __ with you Crave it, save it, be your slave if, let me pay ya I wanna do the __ with you I was shocked, he had me on lock Til he made that freaky move After deliberation, I made a little statement I kinda wanna do that too But my mind started flashin About the Aids I’d be havin From a one night stand with you Cause your name is your game and your name is Deaky and I can’t do the __ with you!

I didn't know what I was doing throwing my life away I didn't know what I was doing wasting all those days doing cocaine thinking I was so strange not knowing who I was not knowing I was me I didn't know what I was saying cursing all God made I didn't know what I was saying swearing my life away killing my spirit I couldn't feel it not knowing my worth not knowing my worth Running in the night time afraid of the light running on the dark streets a girl of the night wasting all my nights I could have been home coulda been using my mind but I wasn't strong I coulda been feeding my brain making beautiful things wasting my life wasting my life wasting my life wasting my life

Reading your bible Keeping your faith Helping somebody Along the way Speaking good thoughts That come your way Giving thanks and praise Everyday you wake keep looking Looking for the light Looking for the light Looking for the light Giving thanks and praise Everyday you wake keep looking Looking for light Finding new paths Walking your way Let go of your past Break every chain Reaching for higher Giving more than you take Giving thanks and praise Everyday you wake keep looking Looking for the light Looking for the light Looking for the light Giving thanks and praise Everyday you wake keep lookin Looking for light Bridge/Change You can run away from time You can put it out your mind But your spirit cannot shine With get high, or with get by, and goodbye If you wanna fly To yourself be true, take a look at you and keep looking Looking for the light Looking for the light Looking for the light (outro)
