Recognition

People meet me, they think my life is like spades.

Bitch, I grew up wearing hearing aids.

I had A life with bullies, my momma used to beat me,

and sometime use me. The bitch, done got married 3 times, men knew her through the grapevine.

First my dad, she nearly drove him mad, got smart and left her,

never even missed her.

Daddy 2, yeah you know who you are,

mick the dick, always trying dirty tricks.

Sneaking up to my room, I was only 8 so I couldn't fight you.

Daddy 3, was so sweet to me. My mama got jealous, but he could see.

our friendship was tight, he even offered to adopt me to make things right.

The Kids in school, I know now that they were all fools.

Set my hair on fire, in the alleyway, Defenseless, all I could do was cry.

Teachers failing me, refusing to listen, that's ok I'm no longer bitchin.

Abducted in plain sight, woke up knowing something wasn't right.

Clothes missing, blood between my thighs. Pain in my stomach, 9 months later I was proven right.

People judge, a child out of wedlock, No bitch is was the victim,

so I deal with the criticism. Believe me I dont care, I'm taking my daughter to the art fair.

Married just to leave home, false love and a pregnancy, it was too good to feel free.

Daily manipulation, my heart had left the station. Back that bitch train up, and let me beat that ass.

Just once, say what's in my mind, I know words will be wasted, so I stay shy, I dont know why.

Finding solace, in creativity. Makes it feel like my souls leaves,

staring down admiring, that was made by me. All the miserable people, the ones who judged me.

Karma's a bitch to the ones who snitch, or hit kids like a little witch. Finally a goodbye, the first in my life.

I listened, I got recognition.

For the strength I pull out, before you start running your mouth. This mama, 3 babies I've done had 4, except one is here no more.

I stay at home, losing myself to depression, daily life a failing Mission. I work hard to be who I am, new me don't give a shit, so go ahead and judge me.

This mama will rock on This mama will rock on This mama gonna rock hard. Yeah
