(Brat) he, thought i was virgin mary sweet as a
nun, wanted to marry me with hopes i'd carry his
son, or his daughter the thought i otta stay out
of the parties, stay in the house, be lonesome,
and talk to nobody, be cooped up for the longest,
with nothin but time, misery loves company but it
ain't no friend of mine

cooked and cleaned like a hebrew slave, till i
got blisters, a modern day miss ceelie, and he
was my mister

but i woke up one day, started to get real slick
called a couple of my friends with a few
scenarios, felt like a dance with the devil,
didn't like being happily married no more, had to
go real quick, cause its my time, and i done made
up my mind shawntae gotta leave you behind, and
get my dough cause half of that’s mine, and my
drow to help me the daughter sunshine, you
thought i wouldn't make it but i'm livin proof,
do on to others as you'd have mothafuckas do on
to you

she, was my ace boon coon in high, we grew up
together, you fucked with her i'd fight you , and
vice versa, from class to choir rehearsal, totin
the bags, slangin them sacks, and beat up all the
hood rats, rolling off with the richest niggas on
the block and bring they whips back, but things
changed when I started to rap, jealousy kicked
in, she wouldn’t be my friend, she wasn’t
even lookin out for me then, she didn’t even
have time to call me on the phone to say hello
so good-bye, good-bye , you’ll never get apiece
of my love again don’t try, my love is
everlasting like Tony Terry , I’m very
territorial and I’m over protective to niggas I
love, cause I respect them, but not this heffa,
she took things in a different direction, I
can’t protect her when its said and done, shit,
I am not the one, I need loyal buddies, supportive
of me, roarin for me, breakin my trust can get
ugly so please don’t mistake my kindness for
weakness, learn it, as I stomp trough the
trenches on this tedious journey, I’m so hot my
feet burn , and you keep yearnin to be a part of
my life but you done fucked it up permanently,
now it don’t concern me no more
