For Ruby Halsey (lyrics)
[00:10.15] Never seen someone make
[00:12.14] Pink so pretty
[00:14.65] Play make-up and
[00:15.65] Dresses litter the floor
[00:19.14] Smile's chasing her cheeks
[00:21.15] To her eyebrows
[00:23.39] We'll laugh until our tummies
[00:25.05] Get sore
[00:28.05] Only five years old and she's
[00:29.55] So nervous
[00:32.30] Daddy blows out candles and
[00:34.05] He sweats
[00:36.80] Too young to understand this
[00:38.80] Birthday
[00:41.30] Will be the best gift daddy ever
[00:43.30] Gets
[00:45.30] She said her body held a monster
[00:47.55] And she needs help tryna
[00:48.95] Fight it
[00:49.70] And she knew it when he
[00:50.85] Crossed her
[00:51.85] That it was wrong but she
[00:52.84] Could right it
[00:54.10] And she took my hand
[01:02.35] And I said "please
[01:03.85] Put up your fists
[01:06.35] Put on a smile
[01:08.34] And blow them a kiss
[01:10.35] Cause darling, you're
[01:12.59] Nothing but brave and I know
[01:17.10] That you can be saved
[01:19.10] We're gonna chase down the monster
[01:23.34] We're gonna chase down the monster
[01:29.35] Glitter painted toenails and
[01:30.84] She stands tall
[01:33.85] Says "mama, Santa's coming soon"
[01:38.10] Mama laughs and chokes the tears
[01:40.85] Back, says "baby girl, he's coming just
[01:44.24] For you"
[01:47.23] Only five years old and she's
[01:49.24] So precious, sings to every song
[01:52.88] On the radio
[01:56.39] Too young to understand that this one
[02:00.64] Was written just for Ruby cause I know
[02:05.13] She said her body held a monster
[02:06.88] And she needs help tryna
[02:08.03] Fight it
[02:09.53] And she knew it when he
[02:10.19] Crossed her
[02:11.69] That it was wrong but she
[02:12.33] Could right it
[02:13.72] And she took my hand
[02:21.98] So darling don't you
[02:22.97] Give up
[02:23.97] Go and put your chin up
[02:26.23] Show 'em that you're strong enough
[02:27.88] When it gets rough
[02:29.37] To last a second round
[02:39.63] Darling please, put up your fists
[02:44.13] Out on a smile
[02:45.87] And blow them a kiss
