[Verse 1] She was the type to never care about a man She'd fantasize bout all the things she could have been And now she looks back at what she should have been Top of the cla**, beauty and brains, they would drop when she pa** She had this angelic smile, they would stop when she pa** Promised a man, if she had one, she would not take it fast But now the only time he love her's when she rockin her a** Fightin' away, the fact that they would fight every day Until he left her, who'd think she find a man that disrespect her No plan to realize that this was messed up Definition of hittin that home base is completely different if you next up Too stubborn to even see her life is f'd up Can't even see the doctor without getting her wrist checked up Now sh** is different, this type of life is not a kids intention To be pregnant at 16 is just a different sentence, a different segment Not that MTV parent show, there's no camera's constantly telling you where to go Fast forward, single momma with her kid crying Look in the mirror, you're seeing inside, your kid's dying Understand, you were the type to never care about a man Until you let him get the upper hand You overdrawn by fake love, cause he's the only dude you think of Now you cover up all your tears with that make up Promised yourself, that you would never live how your mother lived And now you doing the things your mother did Your daddy left you like them others do, ain't making fun of you Cause now you got this baby girl right infront of you Stay home all day, because its worse in the night But baby girl, its the circle of life [Verse 2] Seeing the reflection, care more about the people that we s**in' Than the people really there, the people that care Sometimes we make some sacrifices and yeah Leaving your old life for new ones, and learning only evil is there We never notice till we suffer from mistakes that we make Till we finally f** our sh** up, then we facin our fate And reminisce about our problems, hoping they can relate Cause this the story of our lives, ain't no space to restate To all my woman who've been through the sh** I talk about See it right, cause there's a man who could be treating you right You're more, than what you think, here's a deep letter In hopes that you can see better. I hope you see better
