Chorus - Mister Hampton

Verse 1
That girl she has a heart but all see is pain
A bullet in the brain and two more in the frame
Change, why, is she left to die
She speak that love love but they saying goodbye
Oh, is she destine for that slavery
Girl in them chains but that change came eventually
Heart still alive but she's dead to this century
She says he knows it all but living in a mystery
Will, she ever see the sunshine
Behind the lines of a enemy that keeps you blind
Now, I wonder what you call it
Lady in that mirror and she's looking like a sergeant
Called to that duty as she looking for that battlefield
Love of her life made more than her body ill
But she still keeps the porch light on
Sittin' in the chair as she's waits by the phone

Chorus - Mister Hampton

Verse 2
That boy he got that pain I see it in his heart
He looking for light while he stay in the dark
He stay up on his pimpin' He said his pimpin' strong
Stay with a yellow bone so why he's all alone
So while he's all alone he's searching for his relevance
Letter in the mail came knocking on his residents
Tears hit his eyes as he cried for that love affair
He looks up, his life spared
He wondered, will he ever know the meanin'
To that lost love that kept his heart beatin'
She's a pretty girl and he met her on that battlefield
Sergeant told that boy you got to plan before you take the hill
You know the deal she says to him
The "us" that we cherish just became a them
He got scared and he ran away
Will he ever find a future in his yesterday, gone
