It's Not A Fairytale Lyrics - The Original - Sarai

[Sarai] 

La la lahhh, lahhh 

Fa la lahhh, lahhh 

... 

Fa lahh, fa lahh 

[Verse One] 

It all started like this; 9th grade, freshman year 

So happy to be in high school I shedded a tear 

So many cute dudes to choose from, I knew it was one 

that was, right for me, well I thought at least 

He was the big guy on campus on the football team 

Basketball; homecoming, he was voted for King 

There was me, I was on the cheerleading squad 

Sweet sixteen, lookin for love in my heart 

It was a, beautiful thing from the start I must say 

Only problem, my parents were strict, they ain't play 

No phone calls after 8, no stayin out late 

I'm like daaaaamn, gimme a break 

Hormones kickin in, start displayin my shape 

More concerned with my looks than my books and grades 

Headed nowhere fast, I was on my way 

Curiosity, c'mon, I know y'all relate 

[Chorus] 

Think about the characters in my storybook 

The pages I have read you 

This ain't your momma's fairytale 

The things that I have been through 

In all my life, and all my days 

I ne-ver thought I would end up this way 

[Verse Two] 

It's been a year now I'm a sophomore, maturin no more 

Still I'm young and dumb and plus I'm unsure 

who I am what the future has in store 

Man I'm tryin to be grown cause my parents now divorced 

I took a charge to roll with Dough Boy 

Moms tried to force me to move to New York 

But of course, that plan it fell short 

She found herself caught up in court on child support 

Drama, problems of all sorts 

Stressin started smokin Newports 

Carefree, about the ones who care for me 

Lost teen, givin up on my dreams, and as worst as that seems 

had me thinkin crazy things like suicide 

Like it'd better everything if, I just die 

Full blown, without guidance or a home 

I'm startin to get stomach pains, that's strange, what could be wrong? 

[Chorus] 

[Verse Three] 

What do I do, I ask myself, everyday 

A child givin birth to a child, what can I say? 

This wasn't 'posed to happen to me, no way 

Hear I am, turned my back on my fam, well GOD DAMN 

Wasn't even part of the plan, I'm spazzin out 

I lay down at night, the hurt just burst out 

I shout - how could he leave at my time of need? 

'Specially now I'm pregnant and due in three? 

Maybe, I should have it and give it up for adoption 

I can't graduate, I ain't been to school since August 

Often I hear this voice talkin in the back of my mind 

So many problems in my life 

I just pray for my time to come 

God take me leave my child behind, I'm on the run 

Adrenaline pumpin so angry, I could kill some'n 

Don't make me prove it cause if you don't do it then I'ma do it 

I'm foolish and so STUPID! 

[Chorus] - repeat 2X to fade
