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.
