A Ballad For Homegirls (feat. Baby Tate)

Hello?

Yo, sis, you know what's crazy?

The realization maybe

The older we grow up

We act more like our mommas

Ain't we

Emotional too?

We patient till we ain't

I'm yelling at my boo like she'd do daddy

Hmm

And he's no saint

It made me think about communication

What I need to change

'Cause throwing shit and getting worked up

Huh, that is not my thang

I need some peace, not codependency

Hmm, I'm sure that's what you see

But tell me what you think

Girl, yo, give me some honesty

Hold me accountable for what I repeat

He laid with her

My dumbass let him come lay down with me

Like brothers in Bedstuy

Gotta subway 'cross town, but coming back to me

And I ain't into sharin' ****

That ain't in my pedigree

Got me feelin' dumb dumb

Asking questions like that ain't G

Self-reflecting what I lack, why I let him come back

I know the answers, but I need perspective

Why you think I do that?

What you think about that?

Shit, I just called to chat

Am I afraid to be alone, girl?

If I told you no, girl, I'd be lyin'

I hear you, but it's hard for me sometimes, girl

Girl, fuck that, that man ain't worth your time

Speak of the devil, look, he calling me right now, girl

Not him calling for the seventh time

Now he textin', sayin' I'm his only one, girl

It's the audacity for me, you know he lyin'

He lyin'

You know he lyin'

Sister, sister

I don't know why you keep him in the picture

When he in the back of every other bitch flicks

Lookin' like Carmelo

It's gon' be a "hell no" for me

La-la-la-la-la

I don't wanna hear no more excuses, it's toxic, let's be honest

Why you wastin' energy bleaching his Reeboks

If you gon' open the door when he knocks?

Oh, you just took him back? (We shocked)

Girl, please (Girl, please)

You already got the answers you need

I know you lookin' for some reassurance

I done read this book so much that I could preach a sermon

I know you've got a lot of love to give

But ask yourself does he deserve it?

Just 'cause you can't fix a broken man don't mean you worthless

You wasn't born to be a tool

And it's not your fault if that boy wanna be a fool

I know you well, you can't get past me

You know what I'ma say when you ask me

Am I afraid to be alone, girl?

If I told you no, girl, I'd be lyin'

I hear you, but it's hard for me sometimes, girl

Girl, fuck that, that man ain't worth your time

Speak of the devil, look, he callin' me right now, girl

Not him callin' for the seventh time

Now he textin', sayin' I'm his only one, girl

It's the audacity for me, you know he lyin'

He lyin'

I know, I know, I know, I know

You know he lyin'

But I love him, girl, damn

But you right

You read me, haha

I hear you

I know **** ain't shit

Men lie, women lie, but men definitely lie, hahaha

I'm not, I'm not gonna answer the phone when he call back

You know he lyin'

I'm done with it

Girl, he lyin' right to your face

What a disgrace, you know he lyin'

You know he lyin'

Got his momma rollin' 'round in her grave

She know he lyin'
