As a man I want to say I apologize from me to you
I feel what youâre going through
I understand your struggle
Your pain is a memory I carry with me everywhere
The tears from your eyes gave birth to this song, which gives birth to your hope
Be strong girl
Feel me
Hello my name is Denise Iâm 19 years old and my boyfriend never listens even when I say no.
His castle is my prison I wear a crown of thorns
And a satin robe of denial to survive the storm.
He calls me out my name, I swear if I try harder then, I can stop the pain.
But this is not how it works
His jealousy mixed with Erk and Jerk drives him bazerk
And he takes it out on me, lord how could this be
Maybe I deserve it, our lives ainât picture perfect
And at times I feel worthless, but to me itâs worth it
Yeah, he puts his hands on me, but he always say heâs sorry
Most times it donât bother me
He loves me, mommy
Mike, roses are red, my eyes black and blue
All my friends tell me I shouldnât go back to you
I
love
you is something different
When itâs harshly than spoken
Like a thousand little pieces when your heart gets broken.
Come up to meet you
Tell you Iâm sorry
You donâtâ know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart
Hello my nameâs Tammy, and I love my babies
Deniseâs my first born, but her life all crazy
I donât know what make that nigga show his love with his hands,
But she wonât leave his ass,
I just donât understand
She calls me like, momma why love feel like this?
I try to tell her baby love donât come from a fist.
See at least twice a week we end up ER,
All the doctors and nurses know who we are
The police and paramedics know us by name
Neighbors talk bad about us and donât treat us the same
See they got a son together but he stays with me
Ask grandma, why them kids donât wanna play with me
How come I have to move to your house right down the street
Cuz thereâs things at home baby I donât want you to see
I hide the truth cuz just some things just shouldnât be said
Denise better leave his ass or sheâll end up dead.
Come up to meet you
Tell you Iâm sorry
You donâtâ know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart
Hello my nameâs Mike and with shit like this
Honestly, I donât know what make me get like this
This woman carried my seed, I mean sheâs down for me
Despite my faults, I mean this womanâs really down for me
I go upside her head, cops wanna treat me like a crook
She need a hospital to go and put money on my books
Iâm in a room full of mirrors and all I see is her pain
And Iâm standing at the center, but itâs me to blame
How could I hit my babyâs mother
Like I ain't watch my pops beat my mom's ass just me and my baby brother
The hypocrisy is crazy, the jealousy runs deep
Got me breaking house windows where my family sleeps
Got me throwinâ food in the garbage that my family eats
Got me locked in a 6x9 understand me please
Im sorry for every time I ever cussed or yelled or raised my hand
Now I admit it, cuz I gave you hell
Come up to meet you
Tell you Iâm sorry
You donât know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, letâs go back to the start
Running in circles
Come and tails
Heads on a silence
Nobody said it was easy
Itâs such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take it back to the start
