Well stand tough, ladies I know your feet hurtin' But keep workin' I promise you it'll be worth it Stuck with hella bills got you salty cuz your check is missing But check it listen, cuz it's time you get your recognition And this shit is, how it be for real Us men live a lie yet we claim to keep it real It just feels, ridiculous, sometimes your innocent Cuz in the midst, I call women bitches and hoes F*ck, I'm a hypocrite So pay attention you look beautiful in every way From any shade, to every shape, down to every day You dedicate, long hours to the gym Shower then look in the mirror Wanna smile but you hesitate Hoping the pounds will get away, and go down on the weight scale That ass got firmer but we can't tell, so please wipe your tears You know you came a long way, you missed your mascara? It's gonna be a long day Tell me why your insecure, rest assured You need confidence, the cure, yea I'm sure But you're knocking it, don't know how to take compliments As hard as it seems, so show me how you got your guard up With your heart on your sleeves? you see And Brenda's still throwing babies in the trashcan We don't care we're nosey we just wanna know what happened Talkin', askin', gossip, actin', shockin', laughin' She's another story on Facebook and that's it And I'll be fuckin' damned as a man and as a father If I gotta watch my daughter be homeless and get to starving Cuz I promise she'll be smarter than the best cuz we on it She'll be harder than the rest, you can bet, if you wanna (For real) Women have some things that they don't wanna talk about Memories of daddy walking out, so now you block it out Then wonder why your in bed with some tissues Cuz you never leave your man when he hits you It's abandonment issues, baby So don't you let up, get up Be a go getter and go get better Let this song be your voice, make you strong in your situation Cuz we all need some inspiration (Look) I understand where you're coming from (I do) The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from?

(Tell me) I understand what you're coming from The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from? (Huh?) I understand what you're coming from (What you running from?) The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from I understand what you're coming from (I do) The answer's to your problem's over here what you running from? (Yea)
