[Verse 1]
If I was you I'd be mad too
And I'd probably be sadder
We in a world where men with cash rules
And as the world moves
You moves don't seem to matter
Could it be our views
Are slightly askew?
By what we consume
Nightly in the news
She's sleeping with who?
She speaking the truth?
Why she keeping secrets
How she gonna keep her youth?
Why she so skinny?
Why she so fat?
Why she so fake?
Why she swear she all that?
I heard she got a s** tape
Find out where it's at!
Did you see them naked pictures
When her phone got hacked?
And just like that, you gotta face that slander
And reach high standers
With the sweetest candor
A shame
Don't think I'd be the same if I'd been a girl
Trying to keep my sanity, in an insane world
[Hook]
Yea I know it ain't easy
Pay no attention to the radio and t.v
Cause it seems like the world's out to hurt you
But they wouldn't if they saw what I see, cause...
I see some ladies tonight that should be having our...
I see some ladies tonight that should be having our..
Our hearts
Our brains
Our love
And our praise
[Verse 2]
Can I holla at my culture?
Is this the way our mothers taught us?
The same women that align and support us
We turn around and treat em like who*es on a tour bus
We call em dimes, when we should be saying gorgeous
I guess a digit makes it easy to exploit them
Give em stats like we do to race horses
Broke self esteem, courtesy of your fortune
When did we lose our minds, I don't get
How did we get so blind to our image?
Looking at the way we eager paint women
Give a f** about the sales, my n***a, this ain't winning
Cause at any minute you yourself could have children
And one of those children could in fact be a her
A shame
Then who's to blame when you're little girl's
Trying to keep her sanity in an insane world
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Now, it wouldn't be the truth
If I said I didn't I do my share
For all the lies I devised
Just to get mine
Parts of my heart and mind weren't there
So please don't throw me
With a crowd too holy
Cause even I lied, deep down they would know me
Alright then
I wish my mission was exciting
I'm just a flawed man
Trying to do the right thing
In a cold world
During hot times
Try'na speak with a voice that is not mine
Living with a raw deal they did not sign
Looking up, wishing heaven had a hotline
So they can ask, why
Cause I know that their advice, would surpa** mine
And that alone's just fine
Or at least tell a girl, how to keep her sanity in an insane....
[Hook]
