Crying Shame

Chorus
Now tell me what they both supposed to do
They really don’t seem compatible and it’s a crying shame
She says he doesn’t do what he’s supposed to do
He says she never changes her attitude so it’s crying shame

Verse One
I knew this chick named “Shame” she was crying I asked why?
And she told me she ain't trying to keep from dying
She’s half black and half Hawaiian and keeps lying to herself
And keeps denying that she can be much more
I pondered with such thought remained silent
She got a dude who’s very violent
He gives her black eyes when he cannot control her every movement
She wants it to stop but ain't prepared to lose him
It sounds kind of stupid and now he moved in and ain't left
Now being at home is like facing death
She doesn’t work she doesn’t study, he doesn’t worry
He’s out late she calls him “come home” he doesn’t hurry
And gets mad hen her family calls
Like she didn’t know nobody before, that’s not all
He forces her to take care of his son
No it’s not her child it’s a previous one while he’s out
With his friends having mad fun everyday
And treating life like a vacation
Yo but she get no part of that holiday
And now she on Prozac popping like one a day, it’s not a game
She let her dude become her downfall now it’s all looking grim
Now it’s not about her it’s all him
And everyday is like a loop of the day prior
But she doesn’t seem to tire, it’s a crying shame

Chorus

Verse Two
Yo, I knew this dude called “Crying Shame” always weeping
Asked the reason and that’s when he commenced the speaking
About his girlfriend, no job, lazy person
Doesn’t work hard, sits around watching TV life easy
She flirts with his friends no ends to the nonsense
Doesn’t use her common sense, he the breadwinner
Comes home to find no dinner, stereo playing
Every other light is on when bills need paying
He’s sick with her lifestyle all has is just a nice smile
Cute style but her inside empty
No focus, she way past her early twenties
And her phone never stops ringing
She spends half the morning in the mirror singing
And eating all the groceries
Said he didn’t think that this the way that love supposed to be
Plus he thinks she got a man on the side
The way she whispers, she plays the mistress
And gets new jewels just after Christmas
It went from magic and turned to tragic
She steals from him and if he confronts her
She turns around to say she wouldn’t do that she loves him
It’s just words but they strong enough to keep em’ together
So he lives through her every endeavour
And everyday is a repeat of the previous
But nothing changes so I guess it ain't serious, a crying shame

Chorus (x2)

Outro
