Vanity

Eye full of fashion Is that all your passion What about your peeps in the hood Talkin’ bout the grand events you attended When shattered hearts needs mended Thought when you escaped the grind you understood Givin’ produces prosperity Neglect promotes prosperity But you say “Being me is hard to be.” Girl please! How you livin’ ain’t boss Flirtin’ for dollars Makes me wanna holla You’re not living truth you’re lost Your vanity created your insanity It’s destructive and selfish I know your hot…your fly You just can’t help it We are in recession But you’re all about obsession Your fake, your fowl no matter what it cost Professionally you’re seductive You’re lazy bones ne’er productive When the John’s get through…your tossed You’re being taken advantage of With those baller’s and thugs They will leave you high and dry on the streets But you don’t care Nor are you aware Because with your egotism The game is concrete
