something inside me died that day

People say I'm cool,

Ya', iIm a cool, chick baby.

Ev'ry day I thank god

That I'm such a cool, chick baby.

When i'm on the phone, I thank god,

My voice sounds smooth and clear without a trace of tear.

When i'm at work, I thank god,

I still have that smile ma used to say lit her day.

But something inside me, something inside me died that day.

(...)

When i'm with people, I thank god,

I can talk hip when I'm crying inside.

When I'm with friends, I thank god,

I can lit a cigarette when I'm choking inside.

(...)

A friend lent me shades

So I could hide my eyes that day.

Was a snowy day,

The shades have seen a lot of things I didn't want to know myself.

Was like an accident, part of growing up,

People tell me.

But something inside me, something inside me died that day.
