Huh
She the oldest in the house
'Round the age 22
Landlord want her out
'Cause the rent passed due
(Mama died of cancer)
She ain't make it through
(So she chose to be a dancer)
'Cause that'll get her through
Keep the money tucked away
For a rainy day or two
If she wanna go to school
She could take a class or two
(But her mama died of cancer)
She ain't make it through
(So she chose to be a dancer)
'Cause that'll get her through
Now
Her favorite movie Player's Club
'Cause she relate to Diamond
Yeah, life is rough
And it got tough
Yet, you became a diamond
Deep down inside
You know mama
Wouldn't
Approve of this
But then again
She gon' be proud
How you take care the kids
How you handle yourself
Core values they still intact
Reject them niggas
That'll pay more to slide through the back
Pussy ain't up for sale
Not here to be a prostitute
Coworker say you dumb
But that got none to do with you
Fuck her too
'Cause you know who you are
And that won't ever change
You just in this industry to pimp it
Then run off with change
All money ain't good money
So you stay in your lane
You got a brain and a vision
Go and manifest some things
You ain't content with how the bottom feel
It's hard to maneuver
Rather be up
In the clouds floatin'
Be a bottom viewer
So right now
You work your ass off
To get up out this shit
And you gon' get up out this shit
You ain't gon' settle for this shit
No

Remember?
One Sunday early afternoon
Summertime in June
I had jumped in a white van
I went to church with a rap group
Ran into me in the hallway
Started laughin' at my shoes
Then you slowed down with the jokes
And admitted that I look cute
That's when I asked you
Why I never see you go to church?
Do you not believe in God?
Are you familiar with his work?
Soundin' like Jehovah witness
Talkin' clean with no dirt
I can tell you felt offended
That's when I knew that words hurt
You reply,
"Yeah, I believe but the
Church ain't for me
People judge what they don't understand
It's hard to receive
Bunch of hypocrites
Spreadin' all these rumors about me
Heard I strip
Say I'm bound to fuck
The whole pulpit
It's been since I went
I gotta find a new home
Plus, I'm changin' my address
It's too much hate
When you home"
"So that's why I work my ass off
To get up out this shit
And I'ma get up out this shit
I ain't gon' settle for this shit
No"

Listen
Dear Trina
I send this verse
In the form of a letter
This is Youngin' back from Stranahan
I hope you doin' better
Tell everybody that I'm miss 'em
Hope they remember too
Memories that I would carry
All the things we got into
I wrote a song about your life
And used it as a metaphor
To help the next black girl
From being lost and unsure
Dedication is a must
When you wanna live a better life
It's in your DNA to fight
400 years of sacrifice
Wether you choose
To live your dream or not
Your life will be a struggle and challenge
Align with yourself
Find proper balance
Today's Alice
Roamin' through Wonderland
So glued to her phone
A narcissist with a toxic brand
I'm tellin' you
Girls from all walks would appreciate
Another come up story
From a women they'll emulate
I bet they say
"If she worked her ass off
To get up out this shit
Then I could get up out this shit
Why would I settle for this shit?
No"
