Daddy left us, he hooked on drugs,
Out in the streets, tryna be a thug.
So mama n’ me all alone,
But dis’ house ain’t no home when she’s gone.
Two months later, little Jenny’s cryin’,
Daddy’s in the hospital bed dyin’.
Jenny n’ mama wanna cry too,
But mama’s gotta be strong,
‘Cus dis’ house ain’t no home when she’s gone.
Two years later, Jenny’s out in the streets,
Flirtin’ wit’ boys just to get sum’n to eat,
Where’s Jenny now?
She’s been gone for too long,
N’ dis’ house ain’t no home when she’s gone.
Jenny be wit’ her boyfriend,
All day n’ night,
Come home cryin’,
Jus’ got into a fight
Come in wit’ bruises, Jenny’s home!
We love you, Jenny!
‘Cus dis’ house wouldn’t be a home if you was gone!
