Yeah times passed but I don’t look much older
You just ain’t met the version of me that’s always guardin her own shoulder
Cause I used to drop my guard for you
But I’ve learned lessons since then and I’ll show you a few
Knowledge is power but this is more than I imagined
Being self aware is like being the only sober one
Like I’m the DD of us life just put here to manage
The kids are in positions of power
Playing games cause they not old enough to know better
Maybe in age but maturity doesn’t grow at the same rate
Liars in power just manipulate double back and do it over
No consequences for their actions means no learned lessons
No spankings
No time outs
Bad behavior like a drug do it once next time do it better
See how much you can tolerate what you can get away with
See how much you can handle when fate hasn’t learned manners
When blame gets shifted when logic no longer matters
When laws get thrown out or rewritten when it works in they favor
When the real ones putting in the work getting writes up, fired, put down over and over
The ones talking take all the credit
The ones silent usually being mistreated
Yeah the truth’s always louder
But y’all too ignorant to see that
So you go with whatever story sounds best
Whatever words jumble the truth just enough that it ain’t lying to just omit
Actin blind like you can’t see what’s happening
Like human life don’t mean shit
Like people’s hearts weren’t built for this
But you expect perfection from a broken system when ain’t helping add the bricks
Rig it against us make sure we never actually win
Make sure we do better point out every flaw rewrite the narrative so the ones at fault getting rewarded while we busting our ass just to make y’all look good
Worker bees
Borderline slavery
Don’t pull the race card with me
I treat everybody the same ima match whatever respect you throw at me
Honestly these white bitches thhinking they the shit gotta go
And these tricks letting they women pay all the bills while they sit at home gotta go
Puttin everything on 1 person shoulders and not having the decency to say no more
Hangin with the trees out front since that’s where you think money grow
Actin childish like you got a leg to stand on
Not even surprised your attitude plus your work ethic the whole reason you being claimed as a dependent
Shoulda known better but clearly I didn’t
Shoulda slapped on a bow since ya presence the whole present
Can’t do nothin with a body across the country and you got me fucked up thinking I’m in the same league to compete with those hoes
Thinking you gon treat ME like the side piece
Please
Paying for my own damn fries and taking them to go
Not today tomorrow not in the next life I mean FOR THE LOVE
The lack of respect is immaculate and that shoulda been my first cue to go
But the cue ball just a white ball and women who changed they maiden name not gonna be able to vote
And this whole world just starting to feel like a joke
