[Verse]

Pretty young thing named Maria

Bang over left eye, but she sang like Aaliyah

She a diva boys holler when they see her

Mamma died young, now her father is a preacher

That just made her wanna sin

Alcoholic nights likely vaping off a pen

Use the same drugs that been taking all her friends

Feeling stuck in small towns now she taking off again

She feels awful dating all these men

Thinks I'll do her like these other dudes

Told her 'my arms you can run into'

Trust me girl I been running too

She live alone, got a fridge full of lunchables

Know her family lovable, but she don't really love them like she love a bowl

Snorting coke another bill piled up

Take a pill don't know why they gotta sweat her (sweater) no Huxtable


[Verse]

My Maria not a slouch

Chrome plated heater what she keeping in her house

That just couldn't stop who she was bringing to her house

Till it's duct tape stopping what she speaking out her mouth

1 nigga, 2 niggas, 3 niggas

The shadows that they cast made them really seem bigger

Pulling out a phone like they was filming scenes with her

Laughing at her tears pulling up they jean zippers

Headed out the door left her bleeding on the couch

Her vision got a tunnel view

But she looking at this other dude

And it reminds her of this other dude

About a month ago she just happen to run into

Told him take her number down in case he come around and got a drug or two

Snorting coke another bill piled up

Using drugs to find comfort in a world that's uncomfortable


[Verse]

Now Maria's been evicted

Moved into a shelter that could help her with addiction

Family reaching out, but the support they try to give her looking fake

And she hates the way they treat her like a victim

Went to slumming in the hills

Once the shelter made her feel she needed functioning with pills

Met a dude fresh out the county jail

That was known for giving deals like he Howie Mandel

Feeling drowsy off a cloudy exhale

But this put her in another mood

None of her limbs even functional

Losing her mind she don't know what to do

Now she alone and she know that there's no more hope

Thought that it was comatose, then all she heard was singing from a holy ghost

Snorting coke another body piled up

This time a young girl named Maria that just overdosed
