I remembered it all like thistles and thorns
Slurping strawberry banana
Replaying empowering hymns
One of my girlfriends says she challenges me
Gotta voice that opinion 'bout how you ghostin'
Cuz my feelings so valuable, worthy of being heard
But ya want the truth?

I ******* know all that
But I would rather slip through the cracks
Don't need all that trauma of sayin' hey we ain't cool
We failed
'Cuz you just another player fool.

But thats cool and thats great
Love my ladies, but I don't need 'em to say
You valuable, voice that anger
'Cuz I know better than anyone.

Get it, listen to it
But I've nagged and I've rehashed
You sir, you sir
Like a beggar girl longing for more
Morsels of love, attention

I threw my hat down
Stomped it into the dusty ground
Left it abandoned
Not 'cuz I'm sad
But because I'm too ******* busy
To let you or you or you
Use or confuse
My womanhood.


NEXT.
