I put on lipstick, just like mommy do
Put on her jewelry and mommy's shoes
Lay with different men, just like mommy did
He doesn't love me,
if he doesn't show discipline with his hands
I saw mommy get discipline by every man.
When I grow up,
I want to go out and get drunk,
because my mommy is always having fun
I want to be half naked because mommy says,
"That how you get a man's attention."
I must be a bad to get a man,
use profanity when I feel disrespected,
use my hands to show
I'm not playing
See my mommy do all of that.
I wanted to be like her....
uuunnntttil I grew up
The lipstick, the jewel,
the shoes was to cover up the woman behind the beautiful image
A portray of a woman who doesn't love herself
covering the bruises each man placed
Allowing herself to be beaten,
it's okay as long as he shows his apology with a pair of shoes,
or jewels,
or any gift for that matter
She offer to be a punching bag,
just to have that new Gucci bag.
Go out, drown herself with alcohol,
just to escape the ugly reality she calls, life.
Revealing myself to every man
Yep, that bad chick
Reflection of not loving herself cursing,
fighting whoever disrespect
Yep, she had to show she was bad
Not knowing that isn't how a lady act.
Looking in a mirror,
seeing my mommy looking back with tears in her eyes while saying,
"How did my child turn out like me."
I answer back,
"She did what she saw mommy do."
She respond, "I'm sorry my child, mommy failed you
