You can call it love but it's really lust
Built to build your trust
Praying upon the weak and broken
You can play hard but he knows better and you're yelling and screaming while he’s just joking
You can listen to the tune he plays to you
Slowly speaking fantasies of "The rest of his days being true"
Give it to him girl,while he just plays you
Like the bass guitar he knows your strings
He plucks them to his own extremes
And you sing a song to the convening cords
You're so easy, not like the hermeneutics, your mind is so damn basic
That he takes it
You wish there was a place to run
But he owns YOU and you wish you could trade places with that son
You know the one in your womb!
I mean you wish you could shut out every thing but the sound of a safe heart beat, there alone in the room…
You cry
And not just because you've been had again
Or because you REALLY thought he was your friend
And not because he played pretend
And there you are the DUMB one again
No. You cry for the mistakes that are your own fault
For the love you never earned but instead you bought
You didn't learn the first ten times you where taught
Instead in love you thought!
But in love with being in love was more like it!
YOU LIKED IT!
AND he NEVER loved you! You silly rabbit!
HE TOOK nothing from you girl YOU LET HIM HAVE IT!
He’s drinking and forgetting as much as he can!
Your just a woman trying to raise a man!
Now you're mad and now you're bitter go run tell that to a judge little sister
Nothing you say takes away the blame you’re the whore and you should be shame
You didn't even love yourself enough to keep your legs closed!
LOVE? Ain't that the shit I put in my nose?
Self destruction now grows
And the sound so familiar you hear in your ear
Annoys you now when it used to sound dear
“mommy? Are you okay?!”
"I'm fine shit go away!"
Quick get it together mother LET THE LIGHT SHINE
Go tell that brother YOU ARE TAKING BACK YOUR MIND!
Go to school get a job PUT THAT MAN ON THE MANS BOOKS!
Let the record state your honor I BEEN looking at that DUMB LOOK!
I been listen to these excuses so damn long
So glad to hear him tell it to the judge! Now he don’t look so strong
Let the love for your self OUT GROW
The Love you had for the HARVEST he sowed!
That you thought was love but it was really all a game
What pity what a shame
LET him GO! CHANGE BACK your NAME!
He is Not Worth it! HIS ASS IS LAME!
GET OFF THE FLOOR AND GO DOWNTOWN
DRIVE & GROOVE TO A JAZZ BASS line GET ON DOWN!
Write a tune that’s yours WITH NO BASS LINE IN IT!
How you’ll fight the good fight and YOU WILL WIN IT!
Next time YOU SEE HIM THIS IS HOW YOU DO’EM
LOOK RIGHT THOROUGH”EM
That's RIGHT GIRL! GIVE IT TO HIM!
