who said as a black woman I have to settle for a piece of you? when Sherita and Laquanda have the rest of you..why is it that when you cheat your response is baby that's just what I do I might screw them but see I make love to you..why is it acceptable to date me for 11 years plus but you cannot fully commit yourself to me? what's the big fuss its just a title, piece of paper or jewelry I love you unconditionally and you do nothing but make a fool of me. I will love the stink in your draws even when you hit me I'll find a reason to blame it all back on me. I'm too loud or I try him to much, see girl he loves me.
I'm his ride or die I'll give him all my teens and twenties find out two babies later it was just a lie. I hold him down no matter what even when he breaks my trust. makes me feel lower than low , it's got to be real girl he told me so! He promised me the American dream and I don't need no ring cause he loves me so much all we need is us. I had his children that ain't enough?
Well we live together an he pay half the bills when he can, life just can't get no better! Yeah girl he be sleeping around but he always come back home cause to me he is bound. we solid and don't shake all these years he knows my love isn't fake. sometimes he'll leave an say he needs a break but that's alright he always realizes it's a mistake.. if I love him more girl he WILL change.
Our people are drowning in these pathetic lies we tell ourselves just not to be alone it's way past time to call Tyrone. the girl that's good enough to screw but not good enough to marry, Oooh buddy on the contrary she ain't me and I am not her. Your broken promises and candy coated lies won't get you in between my thighs. Black women must rise and realize their worth you are a beautiful gem to this earth. Why is it so bad that I'd rather be a wife before I give birth! Who said shacking was cool? respecting your wife is a rule but your baby mama what's she entitled to?
Yes I am a proud bastard but I refuse to bring my children into this world without an honest upbringing. commitment can't be so bad who even came up with the idea monogamy was sad? it separates the boys from the men ladies. if you require more he'll be more or he'll step an you politely show him to the left because you need a man that's going to grow with you. Deep down you know it's true no matter what slick shit he spits at you..She ain't me and I am not her, the woman that will settle for whatever nigga lays up next to her.
