Truth Hurts
I never loved you.
It was all pretend.
I only used you
Just to meet my ends.
I’ll tell you the truth now,
But it’s gonna hurt your feelings
Let’s just rewind back
To the very beginning:
I smothered you
Made sure there was no one else
I put you on a pedestal
I spun you into my web.
I told you that I loved you
Very early on
Because I sensed in you
A weakness that I could prey on.
I listened to you.
While you spilled out your painful truth…
I took in all of what you’d gone through ...
It was all pretend.
I only used you
Just to meet my ends.
I’ll tell you the truth now,
But it’s gonna hurt your feelings
Let’s just rewind back
To the very beginning:
I smothered you
Made sure there was no one else
I put you on a pedestal
I spun you into my web.
I told you that I loved you
Very early on
Because I sensed in you
A weakness that I could prey on.
I listened to you.
While you spilled out your painful truth…
I took in all of what you’d gone through ...

The Man
There once was a man
Wish dashing good looks,
And a charm so disarming
He got ahead in life
Without the help of books.
Just a smile here,
A compliment there…
But behind it all
Please beware.
He was a ladies man
And he “loved” them all
One by one they’d flock
And one by one they’d fall.
Into his deep ocean
The one swarming with lies…
And like a shark,
He’d swallow them whole,
Leading them directly to their demise.
Years go by,
He’s still up to his tricks.
His hair is graying...

Faith looks Forward
There once was a woman
With a heart as pure as gold
She had beautiful eyes
A contagious laugh
And her smile was something to behold!
She went through life
Loving and naive
Fell in love with a man with tricks up his sleeve
He was drawn to her light
And to her pure energy
But in the end,
This “love” would be her undoing.
The man was void.
He could never have enough.
So she gave her all to him
In the name of love.
She couldn’t have known,
But she would never measure up, ...

Sassy
Just got my hair cut
Here standing in the mirror,
One thing for sure,
One thing for certain…
I’m one handsome ass nigga.
Bitches keep calling my phone
But I don’t wanna hear it
Rather kick it with my men,
And Our Motto is
Fuck these raggedy ass bitches.
I can’t fall in love with these hoes
Bring nothing to the table.
Want me to pick them up,
Take them out…
And whatever we go do
They expect me to pay for.
Niggas wanna feel loved too…
It can’t just be me working…
Bitch, you gon chase me...

She’s Mine
She’s Mine
It’s been a few months
But I know she still misses me
I know she hasn’t moved on yet
…we’ve got way too much history.
She says she doesn’t wanna see me:
Blocked me on everything…
But ima make a way, you see…
I’m not giving up that easily.
Doesn’t wanna be with me.
Thinks she’ll find someone else??
I can’t even stand that thought…
It literally pains me in my chest…
Even though I’m not ready yet…
And don’t know if I’ll really ever be…
One things for sure…
One things for certain…

Use to be a good girl
That shit don’t pay off.
Damn, I feel my heart getting hard
Where it used to be soft.
Tired of being played…
Tired of shit going wrong…
Tired of playing fool,
& Singing the same sad song.
I’m ready to make ‘em pay.
After all…
It’s their fault for making me this way…
So I dare you:
Fall in love with me…
Just because I can,
I’ll hurt you badly.
As far as I can see
Men don’t have feelings,
Men have never cared
How bad they’ve hurt
so many women...

The Chase (Part Two)
The Chase Part Two
Finally got the pussy.
Fuck.
This shit grip.
… wet as shit,
So good.
Had me moaning like a bitch.
She made me wait a lil bit,
And I was getting a lil impatient,
But she was with all the freaky shit,
So yeah, this was worth it.
But now she’s in her feelings,
Tryna “what are we”
After I hit it…
I didn’t know what to tell her so
I told her to just chill…
Then I gave her some more dick.
Once she was falling asleep,
I told her I had to dip.
Told her I’d be back later, ...

The Chase
Got my eye on a prize
And I won’t stop til I win it
Gonna give this shit my all:
I’m removing all competition.
I’m intoxicated,
Infatuated and some more…
So I’m gonna chase this one down,
Make sure I get her for sure.
She seems like a nice girl.
Let me pretend to be the same.
Seems like her heads on straight,
Wonder if she’ll see through my game?
Ima just tell her something good.
Ima tell her something sweet.
Ima buy her some flowers…
Maybe take her out to eat.
Mmm.
Can’t wait to get in...

The Fall Off
Blinders are off…
And boy, do I see
Past that height,
Past the charm
And past all that sexy.
Actually…
You look a little lame to me…
The fuck was I even thinking…
Surviving off the audacity
Just might turn you into an enemy.
Guess my free trial has expired.
Seems there’s not a thing left,
No more late nights
No more butterflies
No more good sex.
Instead, I guess you’re content
And don’t mind that I see how lame every part of you is,
I do mourn it just a little bit
This fall off has been just so...

Soul Tied
I don’t want you
But I can’t move on
Damn,
What a place to be…
Month after month,
Here I think I’m okay,
But deep down
I feel you still tied to me.
We try and try again…
Tell ourselves that we can
Just be friends
Really, all we’re doing is
Getting closer and closer to
The deep end.
We try and make it fit
Knowing damn well it won’t…
We fuck
Then fight again,
Rather than just giving it up.
We claim it’s in the name of love,
But it’s really just addiction:
It’s unkind
Sick &...

Wish I could love you…
But all it’s doing is killing me…
There’s nothing for me to do
When your first reaction is to get angry.
Wish I could love you
But frankly,
You scare me…
A man out of control of his emotions,
Is a man that holds no safety.
A man just so angry…
Angry At the world it seems…
Angry at everyone in it.
especially me.
Wish you understood…
This world isn’t yours for the taking.
Wish you understood
& could learn from all the mistakes you keep making.
Wish you knew how to accept...
