Nicole such a beautiful soul,

Prettiest girl around story’s never been told,

Age of 16, she started hustling

Moms was sick in the bed tired of struggling

Pops had moved on, left them all alone,

She went searching for love, that’s when she met a thug

He taught her the rules to the game, told her never complain

Nicole had fell in love, felt he was sent from above

She followed his every move, did what he told her to do

Sent her to school with the work, told her finish her work

Never get caught, always be smart, always listen to me always do what you’re taught

So young and innocent she practically raised her herself

Her moms won’t leave the house for years she been depressed

Nicole couldn’t take it no more, tired of being po, wearing the same shoes, clothes from the year before

She grabbed the work and pot, watched the water get hot,

Dropped the work in the bubble, ready to make it double

Ready make the money, ready to shoot the move, ready to hit the block

Had the work and a gun in a shoe

There was one thing she kept letting get in the way

The love she had for her thug, stronger than any drug

She was addicted to him he was her happy place, he felt the same way but he was twice her age

He was a married man, Nicole never knew and if she found out ain’t no tellin what she would do

Beautiful young girl, surviving this cold world, she was all alone mama sick and her daddy gone

She was in love with the streets, she was in with the thug, she was in love with her money, she was in love with his hugs

She was making a lot of money, she kept herself fed, she went to school steady kept the money under her bed

It was Saturday, Nicole was on the block, her thug rode by she got happy on the spot

But when she looked closer, it seemed a little shady, he kinda leaned over he was kissing another lady

Nicole was shocked she felt her heart drop, her knees was weak, her heart kinda stopped

She started walking headed to his car, she couldn’t believe what she had seen from afar

She approached his window, would’ve thought he seen a ghost, her eyes filled with tears, that’s when the lady spoke she said “hello” she was the thugs wife, Nicole felt like she had been hit with a knife

She pulled out a pistol and put it to his head, Thug begged for his life, knew he was scared Nicole blacked she couldn’t hear what he said, she pulled the trigger 5 shots he was dead.
