[Verse: 1 isuppose]

Ruby thought it was really cool, to ditch school

She was only sixteen, always actin' a fool

But let's go back a couple months when everything was different

She would study all night 'cuz going to college was her mission

She had a few friends, but was a loner for the most part

A sweet girl with a fake smile to cover up her broken heart

She walked trough the school halls, nobody ever noticed her

It's like she didn't exist and that made her heart go colder

Her parents gave her everything, her life seemed perfect

But deep down inside, Ruby was feeling worthless

She was tired of being lonely, tired of being neglected

She just wanted to be happy and for once to be accepted

Ruby was an angel but her inner self was screaming for help

And it's hard to get to heaven when guided by demons

But she started acting wild, and using her mother's make-up

Wearing short dresses and her breast size were a-cups

So she stuffed her bra with tissues, started wearing heels

She would look in the mirror and smile 'cause finally she feels like a real woman

And so now she's telling lies, she would lie about her age and party with older guys

That gave her all the attention, made her feel like a queen

So she started having sex and doing drugs like a fiend

She slept with every guy she met

Rumours quickly got around

At school they called her a slut, now she's known around the town

So she started feeling depressed, she would stay up at night scared

Praying to the Lord to wake her up from her nightmare

But God never responded so she started cutting herself

Feeling like she's trapped in hell, with nobody there to help

Put the blade up on her skin, brings comfort from within

She's disgusted by her sins, fighting a war she'll never win

Now she's battling her demons wishing death arrived soon

It's been a few weeks, and she's locked up in her room

And now she found out she's pregnant

And she's mentally exhausted

So Ruby started punching her stomach until she lost it

Now she's crying all night, instead of smiling in her arms

Her baby is dead inside of her, she's living life with no guard

A life without morality, hypnotized by reality, victimized by her agony, criticized by her family

And I know you can relate

'Cause demons come and it's hard to hide from 'em

So I know every girl, has a Ruby deep inside of 'em

Whether you're sad or lonely, you're feeling like the world's against you

Or being judged by others and backstabbed by your friends too

This is for the thick women who hate looking in the mirror

Feeling ashamed of the way they look

Living life with the fear of being rejected

This is for the girls who've been affected by rape or domestic violence and the ones who've been disrespected

By a man who you trusted

The one person you gave your soul to was the same man that treated you like shit and controlled you

This is for the girls that make mistakes and the ones that need help

And before asking God for forgiveness you must forgive yourself

Suicide won't solve anything so put the gun and knife down

'Cuz at the end it's up to you to want to turn your life around

I know about the pain, ' cuz I used to live in hell

And I know alot of guys that know Ruby aswell

The tough guys, the gangsta's, the drug dealers, the thugs

Livin' the street life but all they really want is love

So they bang just to fit in, and disrespect women

And Ruby is bomb as fuck so soon enough they'll all give in

We live a life of sin with the pressure to act a certain way

Just to be accepted by society but I say


[Verse: 2 isuppose]

You stop caring what people think, ain't no need to act tough

If you fall to the ground you gotta get your ass up

'Cuz while most people sat around waitin' for a hand

I picked myself up and proved that I was a man

I felt like Jesus carrying the cross walking through the sand

Sacrificing my life for the ones I love I hope you understand

That nobody's perfect

I used to frown at my reflection, my insecurities ate me up

They made me sad, they made me question

The true strength in my heart

So my weakness had me stressin'

'Till I learned to value myself and perfected my imperfections

I been suicidal

I've been abusive

I've been an addict

I've neglected bibles

I've turned to music and expressed my passion now I'm changin' the world and all it took was a strong mind

And now Ruby looks in the mirror, and sees her beauty for the first time in a very long time

And I promise that you can change

'Cuz if Ruby changed her life around then you can do the same


[Outro: Unknown]

Unless we can help turn her around, to see that it's more worth living than dying, that there is something to live for, she probably will complete the act of suicide, at some point
