I got a lump in my chest from nights without rest, I need y'all to hear me out This stuff is deeper than music cuz I'm bout to lose it, my mind is slowing down Word to my momma, causing me trauma, I never needed but it all circles around I'm going crazy, turned a one eighty, but I'm back on this rapping no stopping me now Yeah, you figured it out? Don't even look at me now I said if you come any closer and asking for closure, I promise you'll not like me loud Don't you dare look up my sound, I see your intentions you buried in ground I will completely unmask everything in the past, we'll start by removing your crown You say you a queen, what does that mean You had to go leave, abandoning me You throwing the keys, plugged up the sinks Jammed every door in the house, making escape impossible for me But let's get serious in this breakdown part now real quick Let's talk about the words you said out your mouth when I was just a kid "Momma ain't leaving like my momma did" "I promise to stay til the very end" "Divorce isn't an option, won't cause any drama," Those words replay every day in my head I'm not cleaning out my closet I'm just putting things to rest Cuz I can hear 'em all talking But I'm putting it all to rest I'm not cleaning out my closet I'm just putting things to rest Cuz I can hear 'em all talking But I'm putting it all to rest Now look, you have caused me to go through some hell in my life All the blame in the right, blood in my veins are now ice, it's hard to Stay awake when you're barely alive, flooded with pain every night You don't even realize the weight of your lies when you told me you would be there for me Til' the day that you die Don't tell me this separation had nothing to do with your preparation Don't look to your delegation that you have feeding you falsified information You offer no inspiration, where were you when I needed resuscitation Or respiration, when your actions against me were reprehensible, I am not filled up with hatred Just understand this situation wasn't what my father and I intended You were the one serving him papers and now you walking around like you offended Yet when it came to my defense, why you put up your guard up in defensive I think your head is dense with all the lies the devil has given, or should I Mention, your idea of a birthday present was telling my dad you want a divorce Sitting there with food still on my plate my appetite had turned for the worse Then you said those dreaded words, that is when I drew my last breath "Divorce isn't an option, won't cause any drama," Those words replay every day in my head I'm not cleaning out my closet I'm just putting things to rest Cuz I can hear 'em all talking But I'm putting it all to rest I'm not cleaning out my closet I'm just putting things to rest Cuz I can hear 'em all talking But I'm putting it all to rest Look, I did not make this song to judge or to cause any hurt But why did you feel the need to stalk me walking by myself into church You waited until we all said a prayer, then you had gotten up from your chair Hovered over me until I noticed someone there but then it was you all I could do was stare As you said, "Christian I miss you I just want you to know I love you I'm right over there" Then you walked away to sit back next to your new man, casually nodded at me like if there Wasn't a care in the world nonchalantly wave at me like if none of this meant anything So much emotions rushing in me at that moment that was a sight I couldn't bear So I stand in a mirror! Yell in the air "How could you leave us" on repeat! That was all I could hear You ruined this family, I know you don't care You saw the money coming from your new hubby then you got hungry and began to prepare So get out of my life, I do not care if I'm thinking in the right I know your morals went sour, started chasing the power, instead of chasing the light Stop reaching out to me, you are so far gone but I know you are not dead "Divorce isn't an option, won't cause any drama," Those words replay every day in my head
