Beat you cause
Some other man smiled
Or cause his food wasn’t
Ready on time
Maybe cause you ain’t
Clean the house right
Or cause you was on the phone
With your girlfriend
He don’t like
But the worst one yet
Was the time
You tried to leave
Even though he claims
You ain’t worth shit
So he blacked and
Blued ya eye
Swollen so bad
You can’t even cry
But y’all in love
He’s black and
You’re blue
You bust his lip
He bust yours too
Broke his spirit
Bruised his ego
He won’t let you work
And his job is illegal
Can’t make love
Cause y’all both too sore
So y’all just fuck
It ain’t even good no more
But y’all in love
Threw you down the steps
Cause you
Act too grown
Slammed you into the wall
Cause you don’t know
When to stop
Punched you in the face
Cause you
Think you cute
Wonder what he’d do
If you thought
You deserve to live
And the worst beating of all
Was the time you
Tried to leave
But he wouldn’t hit you
If he didn’t love you
He’s so scared
He’ll lose you
And can’t nobody love you
The way that he do
He’s black and you’re blue
But y’all in love
