(Intro)
(Slow piano or guitar fades in... let the beat breathe)
Yeah...
Back in the day, blinded love led me astray.
It was Josie, Pamela, Camilla, and Renee.
I guess my life was just destined to play that way.
How long were you little girls really gonna stay?
I felt I was cut... even back in the fray.
(Hook)
I kept handing out the key, thinking love was free,
But every time I opened up, it took a piece of me.
One roll of the dice, I didn’t check the price,
Now I’m standing in the cold, paying for it twice.
Yeah, I’m paying for it twice.
(Verse 1: Sarah)
Then came Sarah... a motherfucking treasure.
With a love that a man couldn't even measure.
Through rain, sleet, or snow—any kind of weather,
She’d have stood by my side and held it together.
Wow. What a love. I was blessed from above.
But I’m kicking my ass for wearing that glove.
We’d have a beautiful dove, but I gave her a shove,
And moved right along to the next "love."
(Verse 2: Tracy)
Then came Tracy, and she tried to lace me.
Tried to strip me to the base then recreate me.
I was uncomfortable as hell in that spot,
She wanted someone I’m not—
In my life, that problem dug a notch.
Damn it, why let my soul just sit there and rot?
(Hook)
I kept handing out the key, thinking love was free,
But every time I opened up, it took a piece of me.
One roll of the dice, I didn’t check the price,
Now I’m standing in the cold, paying for it twice.
(Verse 3: Shawn)
Then came Shawn, and now she’s all gone.
Having four children—nothing was wrong.
But that life was a trap, it was the death of me.
Why the fuck did I give that bitch the key?
I showed her the best, she gave me the worst,
Left me heartbroken, deceived, and cursed.
There ain’t enough tree, no, there ain’t enough weed,
To keep me as high as I damn sure need.
(Verse 4: Linda)
Last came Linda, made me feel nice,
She gave my life a little bit of spice.
Connected to her device, caught in her vice,
I took one last roll of the damn dice.
I handed her the key—I thought it was a lifetime, you see...
But Ty Ty, Jay, Kayla, and Nita... they were the price.
(Let the beat go silent for a second)
Yeah... they were the price.
(Bridge)
You left me broken, battered, and bruised,
So the world can laugh and be amused.
Look at me now, on "sinking ground,"
But to the left and the right, no one's found.
No kids, no girl, just an empty sound.
(Outro)
I’m still in this motherfucking rut.
Wondering if a woman is built from a slut?
Or just a single-parent hut,
Trained to fall in love with a nut?
Yeah...
No kids. No wife. No nothing.
Damn it.
(Beat fades out with slow piano)
