Lil Katie
[Intro]
Too deep to listen to
Lil Katie
Some real shit
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Lil Katie, she just eight years old
Lives her life without drama
It's just her and her mom
Never really met her dad
He doing life for a murder
But she need a father figure
Uncle Tommy was perfect but, see
Shit, Uncle Tommy wasn't really blood
Daddy still doing life
And momma need some love
She ain't wanna tell her daughter what they really got
But little Katie smart
She done already connect the dots
Year later, Tommy moved into home with 'em
Momma working late so Katie home all alone with him
Tommy got some demons
Thoughts to this man speaking
Blocks it out but can't hide it when he start drinking
One day, after work, he thought he'd take a shot
One turned to six (dear Lord, make these feelings stop)
Demons start talking
Fuck whatever God say
He stumbled up the stairs
Creeping into Katie's doorway
Took off his shirt
Then he unzipped his pants
Flipped back the covers
Did things even the devil can't
Damn, now lil' Katie don't know what to think
Tried to tell her mama
But Tommy denied everything
So all through her life she just carried pain
Every night he creeping to her room
And he'd do the same
Now she sixteen
Ain't right mentally
Every boy that try to talk to her is her enemy
She just can't take the pain no' mo'
She see things that never change oh, no
And her mama ain't no saint neither
'Cause deep down, her mom believes him
But loves Tommy so much
She just can't leave him
[Verse 2]
Fast forward, now it's Katie's graduation day
Momma so proud of her
Never thought she'd see the day
She went to Katie's room, finna wake her up
Opened up the door but the bed was all made up
Then she heard Tommy scream from the downstairs
(Betty, where you at? Think you better come down here)
She ran down the stairs to the living room
Dropped to her knees
(Oh look, I should've knew
All them times she was crying out for help
I was worried 'bout myself
Now my heart is just ripped in two)
See, Katie, she was hanging from a rope
With a suicide note saying
"Too deep to listen to"

[Outro]
And this some real shit
Who can relate?
