Poortraits Lyrics by KEVIN NOVA

Before It’s Too Late

2018

I'd like to introduce you to Bella
She's only 15 going through more problems
She's never met her father and that makes her wonder
What did she ever do not to make him want her
What makes it even worse is she don't look like her mother
So when she's looking in the mirror she can see them together
Only love she ever found was down under the covers
Letting her man hit it without using a rubber
And that led to yet another dilemma
Bella's due to deliver a baby girl by the end of December
Her cousin took her to the clinic they made it official
Now's she crying out asking what'd I get myself into
All I want is for you to say you love me
All I want is need is for you to show me something
All I want is for you to say you love me
All I want is need is for you to show me something
Seven months later she don't know what to do
Her stomachs gotten bigger so she can't go to school
Her man changed his number when she told him the news
Bella thought they were fused but it seems she's confused
Never in her life has she felt so used
Her man said he loved her but she sees it wasn't true
Her own mother don't know what she's going through
She just want dibs when the checks come through
Two more months and this baby girls due
But a premature birth made that baby come soon
Now she's thinking that her whole life's ruined
A teenage parent not knowing what she's doing
All I want is for you to say you love me
All I want is need is for you to show me something
All I want is for you to say you love me
All I want is need is for you to show me something
Bellas feeling like she's headed nowhere fast
Her baby's crying so much she don't have no time to relax
Her momma kicked her out she don't know how to react
Now there's no one there to help her get her life on track
Ashamed that she wishes she could take it all back
But the pain that she's feeling isn't her it affects
Her daughters there lying silent right in her lap
Bellas crying, in her mind asking God what's next
Instead of going right she went left
Took a wrong turn that just led to more stress
Left her baby on the foster care steps
Walked away feeling nothing but regret
So much pain that she's feeling in her chest
She feels hate so she sells herself for sex
As far as days she don't have that many left
Two weeks later prostitute found dead, she had a baby
From the outside looking in things seem a little different
From the outside looking in things seem a little different
From the outside looking in things seem a little different
From the outside looking in things seem a little different
All I want is for you to say you love me
All I want is need is for you to show me something
All I want is for you to say you love me
All I want is need is for you to show me something
