Janie's Blues.

 Lost in the dark imma feelin' so down
Imma pointed and laughed at like a clown
Men acta likea day own me

Dae acta like they own me
like dae owns me
owns me

de darkness surrounds cannot see
Don't even know whos me
act quietly
hope to die quickly

I've been wronged
wronged
wronged
for to long
long
long

hidin' in the dark try and come to the light
just tryin to use all my might
and win this hard fight

Imma feelin so hurt
tryin not to blurt
tryin not to retort

Hiddin away
don't wanna stay
and forced to lay

This is life day after day
just hopein ah don't have ta stay
just livin this way

  3. Love it, expresses the raw emotion and character of the speaker, but that is the question who is the speaker?
