[Verse 1: Lona]
I died for you, I marched for you
I got shot for ya, went to jail for you
Wanted nothing but the best for you, I got beat for you
Got hung by the neck and lost my feet for you
Just so you could be bossed up in the foyer
Not for you to win employee of the month
But so you could be the employer
And somewhere along the line you forgot education was important
Should've be studying but you got drunk
Was going to go to college but you got high
Graduated but you just got by, now you work at Popeye's
Stopped aiming for the stars and you just settled for the skyline
Got schools integrated but you chose to drop out
Where did I fail you, I didn't keep it real
I kept it realistic, you just keep gold chains and jays
How we become so materialistic?
[Hook: Lona]
I don't know what you doing but you not trying
This is somebody's dream but it's not mine
Why did I grind? just for you to cop shine?
I'm dying, I'm dying all over again
Everything you do is something I wouldn't recommend
I can't do nothing to help you now, so I just pray from the dead
[Verse 2: Lona]
I mopped for you, I cleaned for you
I picked cotton for you, I served for you
I got hosed down with my baby for you
Got raped for you, took the hate for you
I fought for you, I taught for you
I lived a hard life and it never got soft for me
Just cause I knew better days were coming
But nowadays it just make me wonder
Is this the best we could do? you t**ng all in the school
Sending nudes, walking around with your cheeks
Hanging all out your jeans, focused not at all on school
But addicted to IG, well I'll be, well I'll be
And you saying you don't need a man
Girl read the Bible, tell me what you see in there
No respect for yourself talking bout that ain't my man
Girl I just be with him, he trapping out the bando
What you see in him, what you need from him?
[Hook: Lona]
I don't know what you doing but you not trying
This is somebody's dream but it's not mine
Why did I grind? just for you to cop shine?
I'm dying, I'm dying all over again
Everything you do is something I wouldn't recommend
I can't do nothing to help you now, so I just pray from the dead
