Mary Anne - Sarai/Black Coffey[00:00:00]
Bring it on back to the young days when things wasn't so hard[00:00:21]
Playin kickball in the school yard[00:00:23]
The year before kindergarten when memories started at the day care[00:00:25]
All the Little kids used to play there[00:00:29]
We had no worries just hated nap time but fingerpaintin' and playin' tag was fine[00:00:31]
And we would all run around except for this girl[00:00:36]
She stayed in the corner Yeah her name was Mary Anne[00:00:39]
She missed half of the school days scince the year began[00:00:41]
Never wore a shirt that showed more than her hands[00:00:44]
She rockin' jeans & Long sleeves in like 90 degrees[00:00:46]
You know lil' kids they treat her like she got a disease[00:00:49]
Came in 1 day all her hair was gone[00:00:52]
Said her mamma cut it off cause she did something wrong[00:00:54]
Tears in her eyes when she finally said somethin[00:00:56]
Usually she would get scared and wouldn't say nothin[00:00:59]
Days that went by she had to cry wonder why did it happen to me[00:01:02]
Day after day she slipped away wonder why did it happen to me[00:01:13]
Elementary she got the seat next to me[00:01:24]
Lucky i wasnt mean like the rest could be[00:01:26]
She treated like an outcast wonder how long she could outlast[00:01:29]
Bein alienated by the whole class[00:01:31]
It was still touch and go with the whole school scenario[00:01:33]
In for days out for weeks still scared to speak[00:01:36]
I wonder if that one time she had tried to tell and the teacher shrugged her off like Oh Well[00:01:39]
I wonder if that shut her down[00:01:43]
Maybe she had no one to turn to[00:01:45]
Maybe this little girl didnt know what to do[00:01:47]
We had a project one week me and Mary Anne a team[00:01:49]
So i invited her to my house for ice cream[00:01:52]
She bangin on the door at the house invite her to sit on the couch[00:01:54]
She looked me in the eyes[00:01:57]
Mary Anne began to cry[00:01:59]
I said what's wrong she said she wanted someone to tell her why[00:02:02]
Days that went by she had to cry [00:02:05]
Wonder why did it happen to me[00:02:12]
Day after day she slipped away wonder why did it happen to me[00:02:15]
After that incident she didnt really want to talk to me[00:02:26]
I'd see her in the hall[00:02:29]
Call out but she wouldn't walk with me[00:02:30]
Junior high she got cover up caked up[00:02:32]
You could see the bruises underneath the make - up[00:02:34]
Stories to make up people askin question now[00:02:36]
She breakin down but still no confessions now[00:02:39]
She walk around dazed out lost in another land spaced out[00:02:42]
And as days go by she grows more distant[00:02:45]
Teachers barely aware of her existance[00:02:49]
She in and out more out than in[00:02:51]
And one day i'm in class[00:02:53]
The ambulance pass screechin[00:02:55]
Down by the artroom off to the right in the bathroom[00:02:56]
They found Mary Anne on the floor[00:03:00]
A bottle next to her[00:03:02]
Said she took like 50 pills or more[00:03:03]
And left a note that said she couldn't handle it no more[00:03:05]
Days that went by she had to cry [00:03:08]
Wonder why did it happen to me[00:03:15]
Day after day she slipped away wonder why did it happen to me[00:03:18]
Days that went by she had to cry[00:03:50]
Wonder why did it happen to me[00:03:57]
Day after day she slipped away[00:04:00]
