Perverted Twist
Life at middle age
Now I slowed down
Thinking about the days
When my father used to pack me in the backseat
Wash two cars
And make it home to eat
Now I'm feeling like the prophet job
Everything I worked for went cold
Betrayal right under me like a missle
I couldn't kiss anyone's rear
If I bowed kicked it then I missed it
Worked day and night to lay down in solemn cold peace
Now the thrives right beside me
They say taking heat
Had to revert back to the person with a perverted twist
Play with me ride my back
Then I dropped you like yesterday oldest plate of chicken
You had no remorse when you plotted up your climb
You forgot the most essential important part
Gods eyes seen and heard it all
Now you want everything close to me
Because you say you standing tall
I sit back in laugh and knew it all along
You were never about the struggle
You wanted an easy pair of drawers
So I won't mimick you or give you attention
I'm going to keep doing me and stay slow
To raise my baby girl
She cried 12 years of your jealousy
And to her I'm sorry because that's my fault
I should have realized ones closest want what you have worked to make
Out of all the disrespect I never turned it over to the degrade of hate
Now the lesson all you wanted out the end to know
I'm going to reveal it to you but just slow
In life never put out what you don't want God above to give
When it's all said and done he got me covered and I'm going to stay safe and keep on getting billions.
If you like it I really never thought to ask
Throughout life I've saw your kind
But my mama taught me to step over and look right past the mask.
