Woes and Foes they come and they go
I try so hard not to be a slave to the media , but the way they got me Mann... my chains are invisible...
Went from broke shawty with the low grade shoes , now I can afford for the whole town to rock j's
It amazes me how people that I haven't seen since 6th grade still care enough about me to post me on their page , have full conversation on me like they know me .. U don't know me baby
You lucky you even know of me so pipe down all that talk cause a queen doesn't eat with peasants
If I could be like Queen Elizabeth I damn sure would build a wall between my foes and my woes .. I shouldn't have to look at such vultures
They be like .."damn she dropped another picture , it was kinda better than the other , got her skin shining like a mothaf*cka .. But she still ugly and she look dusty , funny how I be on her page every day but fuck her I'm not hating. She think she got it made from her hair to her toes .. That hair ain't even all of hers I heard .. Well nevermind I ain't heard shit but I'd make up things just to get in her head .. Have these people thinking she the shit , she so humble tho I bet I can tear her soul to bits "
Woes & Foes they come and they go
A Hater is just low key lover and if they hate I know somewhere deep down they either wanna be me or want something I have ... Crack a smile to my face but can sit on a phone to do the dirty work they couldn't say in person
.. they don't see that, especially my friends be the first to ask for advice but play dice with mice then run to me once again ..
They be like ..." Yea I know her , that's jazs always got the Afro and stride like she Naomi Campbell , shit I even ask her to give me a shoutout.. that's the only reason I'm her friend . I wouldn't say I'm phony but I damn sure wouldn't keep it tight with her till the end , she always spittin knowledge but I don't know about that shit so I nod my head like I'm getting fed the facts .. She think since she got followers she all famous , she doesn't act like it tho but then again I act like a friend to her face but it's all pretend .. She said we family ..am I suppose to take that in? I guess it's a win win , she thinks I'm loyal but I give info to the culprits behind the comments "
Woes and Foes , they come and they go
What ? How could I say such ..? it's true ain't nobody really down for a sista they just around so they can take a piece of the crown
When I'm down my tears don't land on shirts of my family or friends instead the devil catches them in the palms of his hands and that's when I wipe my face , ask God to shun the hate and keep my ass on the path to greatness...
In the mist of all this my family just trip , don't support me because they're scared
But I learned Change does not happen by sitting around ..I guess that's why they all must be good on they ass
Always begging for cash , my pockets never lie but I wish they did , I'm not a charity fund , I'm an artist who works for the things I want
They be like ... " cocky I see , got that you fancy attire like your a queen .. Wait that is what you call yourself right .. Mhmm when you get famous don't forget about us or we gone make a fuss , who you date ? Is he fine and what kinda car does he drive I wanna take a ride ... Must be nice being a big name huh? you ain't the same , change your style now you think you can wear a crown ? You ain't shit and the ground you walk on I'm the reason your here .. But what about that $50 you said you'd lend .. I'm only goin to this show so she can say I was there , when I really don't care , mannnn this shit just ain't fair .. Spent all my life working and she just can get by with a few poems and music so she think she's better than us .. She just like us .. "
Woes & foes , they come and they go
Damn can I breathe I mean nobody ever ask me what I have to say ..
Is it that deep ? Do I make you skin creep at the sight of me? Then I'd be a bitch to say "fuck all you hoes " i'd be a bitch if I striped out my clothes bent over and said "kiss my black ass "
Take my kindness for weakness , people tell me I should wake and bake so I can just suppress the hate
Got a lot to think about and I inspire thousands who seem to love me more than my own Kin
I bet they'd take a bullet for me or ride till the end ...
Woes & Foes , they come and they go ..
Artist .. We must meet , not to discuss the scrutiny we face but to Create vibes ... And when I'm around people like me I just think ...
I be like ..." They hate me because they can't have what I have and it ain't nun like money but my pride is what I hold precious , they see me as a target because of the minor fame , they don't see that all I want is positivity and to empower my people .. This Afro ain't just for my liking but it's to let others know Ima strong warrior and my poetry feeds the bellies of these ignorant heathens.. Penetrates the hymen of the virgin eyes that first time encountering my vibe they will shed blood but it's thru their eyes..
You can say what you wanna say and keep throwing dirt on my name but cocky , ugly , stupid , or even fake .. Ima be me .. The artist & what I doesn't argue with pointless crooks I rather meet up at a cafe were we can were black berets and snap the snap to the tone of a nice sax.. The artist don't need no woes or foes , the artist rocks solo"
Woes and foes , they come and they go , artist must meet to Create.
Which one are you ?... I know me
