Cedric McClester

She wears a full length sable coat
Jimmy Choo shoes
Drives a fancy car
But I got news
What’ cha might not know
Is that she’s abused
I guess you could say
She’s payin’ her dues

It doesn’t take much for him
To get upset
And she’ll be on the receiving line
You can bet
Getting beaten down
‘Til her eyes are wet
And he feels justified
With no regret

She tells herself he’s gonna change
In time
But that’s an odd thought
To have crossed her mind
Like tryin’ to return
To the scene of a crime
Where you’re the victim
Inside the chalk line

She’s the envy of those
Who have no way of knowing
‘Bout the pain she endures
That she may not be showing
They see her lifestyle
But not the cost
She has everything
But her soul has been lost
