Mississippi

You were raised in Mississippi

They made you hate this city

Little girl, We don’t have time to waste

So put down that vape

Little girl, You need to breathe life

Not nicotine

You\'re leaving your life behind

And you can’t breathe

 

Breaking you down to dust

These people will leave you to rust

You look so good in photographs

laying on the lifeless grass

Hoping the moment will pass

Again

Believing you only have fake friends

Your lies are too good to last

So will you take off that mask

 

There’s no excuse for you acting this way

Just one more mistake

And you will pay

The consequences to your actions

Not just talking in the past-tense

You said this would never happen

Yet you did it again

 

So little girl what will it be

Take the blue pill and forget everything easily

Or take the red

And put our differences to bed

And heal your pain

And finally be able to change

You say “it’s them not me”

The truth should set you free

And it would if only they’d let you be

But the truth also hurts

Left you in the dirt

 

Newly saved

But still not okay

Because that\'s how you were raised

Now you have to live out your days

In misery 

because unfortunately

I was raised in Mississippi
