Lyrics
word up-throw ya hands up/i had enuff of the ruff stuff/life is ruthless/ i'm toothless/ beat me? hell nah! nigga, never again/my mind's filled with anger, the pain is settin' in/tears drop my eyes, i'm surprised, i sit and cry/thinkin' bout the days i wore shades to hide the lies/i hate that ass with a passion/the body bashin'/ is on a standstill i'm ready for some action/i can't forgive or forget the pain/i sustained/the memories are stuck in my brain/10 years old, another mister/in the family who beat my momz in front of my lil sister/what could i do? I couldn't hold my own/I'm trapped in a zone/of broken hearts and broken bones/and broken dreams/sometimes I wanna scream/the nightmares! envisioning my home as a murder scene/All we had to do was leave him/how many reasons/were needed/a thousand beatings/for every season/sleepin' with the enemy; ya can't win/for losin'... a limb/or ya life... will it ever end?
Now i'm feeling kinda leary/my body's weary/i'm wondering if this niggaz gonna spare me/he's drunk again/stumblin'/mumblin'/takes a swing, i'm on the run again/but now there's no one here to save me/he's going crazy/my only chance is to be Swayze/then maybe/i can get some help, call a friend or a neighbor/maybe send a prayer/to my savior/oh my Lord, oh my God, Goodness Gracious/ give me the strength and the power to face this/agony/why does he batter me?/stays mad at me?/i need some form of strategy/my fingaz on the trigga/now i'm the bigga/nigga/coming to getcha/so nigga sit ya/black ass down/take one last look around/wussup now?/you either swim or you drown/i choose/to abuse/the fool who abused me/bruised me/i'm threatening his life with an uzi/colder/than i've ever been cuz i'm older/i told ya/that i owed ya/so now it's over!
