Abused and Neglected

So i'm told my heart is black, Well maybe its true so keep track, I was neglected as a child, They say that's why i turned out so wild, I was called many names, But i didn't let it get to me im still the same, Then I got with a man, Who liked to kick me around like an old can, He liked to play drums on my head, Yea you heard what i said, Choking me every chance he got, Didn't matter how hard i faught, I couldn't ever keep his anger at bay, What i do you say, Well i would duck and hope he missed, Then just lay there While I got dissed, People always say why don't u leave him, Well he would lock me up if he knew i even talked to them, If only you knew how it was, Because, Then you would see, How hard it was to be me, So as this come to an end, All you women out there i know what it's like to try to fend, Fight for life, Over a man who beats his wife.... * Note it was not my ex husband who beat me, Was an ex before that!!!! Just wanna get that clear
