Goodbye Babie

I can't let you bring me down.

I refuse to be sucked into your crazy ass world where I have to be perfect to be your girl and yet you

Have flaws that I better not mention I better have my little ass always at attention

Well I do not work that way I am an awesome woman that will not be brought down by any of her short

Comings

You can point them out all day but I am way too strong

You can try to kill my soul but it is God that ignites me

If that phone is not answered oh I better be ready for words and actions that cut like machetes

Don’t answer me it is all good because you were busy

And why am I mad and how dare I question what I see

You have truly met your match with me

And in the shell you made for me I will not retreat

Arguing and screaming just keeps things complicated so I go into my own world

Of planning my next stages

No other woman has ever called you out on your shit or even made you pay for it a little bit but I will

You want me or you don’t

We are going to do this or we won’t

One day you want me strong and proud and others you want me to kneel and bow

Well I'll tell you today that the pride of my mother dwells in every inch of me and I will not be brought down

And I choose to walk away

At this point not even love could make me stay
