[Intro]
So have you ever been ten toes down for a man who didn’t love and friends who wasn’t for you and the streets that made a monquer of you (of you).
[Verse 1]
Okay God so i was thinking well why my nose was bleeding and why my eye was black and leaking and my lips puffy and bloody, well maybe he wasn't for me maybe mama was right when she told me the other night that his screws weren't tight. I'm alright ma, cause in my mind i'm like sometimes he do me right ma, you so unfashion though you always so uptight ma, plus if I leave em then who else going to get us right ma, I mean right ma. Cause he supplying us with pills and supplying me with meals and money, calling me honey, always telling me that he love me and he claiming me, my man is who he claim to be, even though he shaming me and now he put his hands on me man.
[Verse 2]
Who can I run to, to feel this empty space with love, god who can I run too, god i need love! And I now I got my hands in the air but I ain't yelling don't shoot, i'm yelling god here I am I wanna give my life to you, no idea where to start but here’s my hand walk me through, where you lead i follow you and i'll do what you want me too. Cause i'm tired of every day and night and just getting wired and it's fun i must say to my high go away and i'm confronted with my pain that's why i gotta start my day with that vodka and that yay. Thought i never sober up and from the time i wake up, i got that drank in my cup, that candy in my nose, that money on my mind, while i'm slipping on my clothes skippy skips in my bag, so i'm ready for that pole like work, work, work, work was my motto get high, get money, smoke trees, pop bottles like two can sams i would follow my nose, cause wherever i smelled money that is where i would go.
[Verse 3]
