Crown Princess

Crown Princess

You're a crown princess...
Little girl with angel eyes born
through incest
A secret not known to many, as
quite as kept
Your mother was raped by her
uncle while she slept.
No one ever listened to her cries
for help
Abandonment is all that your mother ever felt.
Too young to know about her baby's hasty
maturity
Uncle staked out waiting to rob her virtually
A thief he is—ultimately!
Admiring your mother from a distance
As if his devilish smile has no resistence
Proud 'cause your mother keeps quiet and no one'll listen
The puzzle's scattered everywhere now and a few
pieces are missing
Time was in overdrive, inside her stomach a baby was
pumpin' like a piston
It's obvious now, 13 years old and 6 months pregnant
Now everyone's feeling guilty, and your mom grows
rampent
Uncle's on the run and your grandma constantly repent
So your grandma goes and presses charges to the fullest extent
Picture itself appears to be so strange
That's why it's often rearranged. Because you're beautiful
existence is the source of family pain...
