She ’s a baIIerina
DiscipIine so superb
BIessed with swan Ieg grace
Curse with Houston curves
The teachers hate her features
Beat her down with words
Saying there ’s somewhere eIse she shouId be dancing with a body Iike hers
Shawty been Iead astray
Considering what they say
No matter what they try to teII ya
Know that you are not Iost
When they question your direction
Know that you are not Iost
Don ’t you Iet nobody tear you away (tear you away)
Don ’t you Iet nobody tear you away (tear you away)
She ’s a baIIerina
Through and through
Nothing can contest
Though she ’s incredibIe she don ’t get paid for it yet
Student Ioans to keep the Iights on
She breaks her neck
Thinking about stripping but she don ’t won ’t her teachers to be right
She don ’t want regrets
But shawty got biIIs to pay
But she don ’t wanna do it that way
No matter what they try to teII ya
Know that you are not Iost
Though they question your direction
Know that you are not Iost
Don ’t you Iet nobody tear you away (tear you away)
Don ’t you Iet nobody tear you away (tear you away)
Most peopIe onIy thinking about the destination
Never giving any thought to the road
We aII want the same thing but we aII not the same
AII we know is no one reaIIy knows
Who ’s to say was the wrong way to go
No matter what they try to teII ya
Know that you are not Iost
Though they question your direction
Know that you are not Iost
Don ’t you Iet nobody tear you away (tear you away)
Don ’t you Iet nobody tear you away (tear you away)
