[Verse 1: D Horton] Let me tell the story how I met a lil shorty almost 20 I was only like 11 years old She said excuse me lil homie I know you don't know me but, my name's Nayomi and the world is so cold And she proceeds to drop a tear, I'm grabbing her hand She said the saddest part is boy one day will turn into man Gave me a kiss on the cheek, told me to never raise my hand to girl That's when I knew that I would never understand the world The neighbors peeking yeah I'm sure they heard all that You call her b**h and use ya fist she don't deserve all that And the problem is Without the antics and the politics Bottom line is she a woman like ya momma is Hypocritical, backwards individual ba*tard wouldn't hit a n***a yet and still he hittin you I mean whoever knew that he would grow up to be The same thing that made him cry while he's going to sleep Open the door and peaked Fear in his heart he looked And saw the man that gave him life hit the woman that pushed Takes a look into the mirror with hatred and shame To see the man he hates the most be the one he became Listen women, a gift from god to bear ya children Be a ear when no one listens Hold ya hand throughout ya sickness til d**h do ya part She do her best to play her she even help do ya part But you just don't appreciate her So I'm a write this song and maybe help alleviate her From the thoughts that she has Like how he love me more than life yet still he hurt me so bad And it hurts cause I had, a situation I was facing that reminds me of this I know this song is getting long but do y'all mind if I vent Cause these are similar events to a time when I went Off the edge she was getting on my head and I hate When people yelling over me and not letting me think She threw a couple plates, but I was cool cause she missed And for the record let me say I never called you a b**h
I said you need to stop b**hin And sure I'll admit That it wasn't very nice but it was all I could get to come out hell I was frustrated But it was justified Cause I was being honest ya homegirl and cousin lied And it's funny cause the girls that made you drop me are the same girls in my inbox But that's neither here nor there Just know that I'm aware Of motives so no I do not think that it was fair That you could jump to conclusions without hearing me out But you busy screaming at me yelling telling me how "you ain't never gone be sh** just like ya father, and you think I'm a sit here like sum lil stupid b**h just like ya mother", and I lost it I mean I swear a n***a lost it You done crossed the last line turned around and double crossed it You gone disrespect my momma, after wrecking my home When she raised you like a daughter treated you like her own Body starts to tense Felt a clinching fist Swear to God this is it Tired of this sh** And right as I had started to react out of rage I remembered what Nayomi told me back in the day I remembered how my mother cried from not just the pain But when they all say that they told you it rekindled the shame So I counted to ten Went to my room and I prayed And ask The Lord to give me peace from such a miserable day He was silent at first But in my dream He appeared And said I'm proud of how you handled what could've easily been another tragic situation of when boy hits girl And told me write a song about it just to show this world That a flower so delicate deserves not hate The truth is a woman's love's what makes the world so great [Verse 2: Lauryn Hill] Care for me, care for me! I know you care for me! There for me, there for me! Said you'd be there for me! Cry for me, cry for me! You said you'd die for me! Give to me, give to me! Why won't you live for me? (Repeat 4x)
