She's a ballerina

Discipline so superb

Blessed with swan leg grace

Curse with houston curves

The teachers hate her features

Beat her down with words

Saying there's somewhere else she should be dancing with a body like hers

Shawty been lead astray

Considering what they say

No matter what they try to tell ya

Know that you are not lost

When they question your direction

Know that you are not lost

Don't you let nobody tear you away (tear you away)

Don't you let nobody tear you away (tear you away)

She's a ballerina

Through and through

Nothing can contest

Though she's incredible she don't get paid for it yet

Student loans to keep the lights 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 bills to pay

But she don't wanna do it that way

No matter what they try to tell ya

Know that you are not lost

Though they question your direction

Know that you are not lost

Don't you let nobody tear you away (tear you away)

Don't you let nobody tear you away (tear you away)

Most people only thinking about the destination

Never giving any thought to the road

We all want the same thing but we all not the same

All we know is no one really knows

Who's to say was the wrong way to go

No matter what they try to tell ya

Know that you are not lost

Though they question your direction

Know that you are not lost

Don't you let nobody tear you away (tear you away)

Don't you let nobody tear you away (tear you away)
