(Verse 1)
Money fame we want it all
To live life like we're movie stars
But not all stars show and most stars fall
She takes that pain away with alcohol
Swimming in that poison trying to drown her flaws
Still can't get a job put shes always given
No second chances
No soliciting when she is dancing
Call her hey mrs Jackson on a good day
Going Hamilton on and off day
No matter what she embrace the pain
Wash away her tears in the rain
Wouldn't you do the same
Left astray and the only way for some change is more change than she can make to catch the subway to her interview do see if she can make that minimum wage
As an under paid slave for these savages in need of caves
Welcome to her cave the writings on the wall light up with neon and get brighter at the center stage
She slide down to put the fire out
They hose her down
She don't hear the music but she hear the sound
Of crying on the bed room floor
Her kid hungry and the only way to feed him
Is to sell sin in change for her freedom
She make more in a hour than the ones tipping made in full shifts
Its foolishness to think this life is bliss
(Verse 2)
But if she praying for a blessing she praying to repent
Because its hard out here when you're trying to pay the rent
Can't rely on a man who lies in his den to pretend
Then goes lying again…..
It's a shame at least Brenda was brave
She threw it away
But she can't do the same
Already going to hell
Might as well not worsen the flames
Shoot I know what you saying that there is other ways
But there's always statistics
And we always in it for the money
At the root of that evil we forget we living in Eden
Is this really land of the freedom?
When the eve of the day is a midnight fling
Its Barbie vs Aretha
She want that dolled up fever
But she just playing the game
But all is fair in love and war
The same for the business plan
So get money and more
Don't call her out her name
She's just another mother that needs to get food from the store
But it's a shame because its dogs at the door
