See cause every time I came around, he was always trying to put it down
Always trying kiss that, hit that, and diss that,
Feeling used and abused and accused and surrounded by false pretenses
See it wasn’t me you wanted, it was “she” you wanted
But “she” is what you got but from another woman who wasn’t taught to hold herself with honor
To close her legs and mouth and open her ears and listen to what her mother taught her
To not worry about what others see and say because at the end of the day the only reason why she was on her knees at night was to pray
But here she lies, because she fell in love with a nigga who only loved what was between her thighs
Words from which you despise, she wasn’t ready to die yet
But she fell victim to a cold racist world
As another single black mother struggles
And another black baby is raised in white America
