She abandoned me
She don't live here anymore
Now the pain is gone, I'm movin' on
And I'm so glad to see
She don't live here anymore
All I have is love to keep me strong
The smell of coke and the feel of rope
She reminded of what could have been
She used to ease the rage by taking the blade
And pushing 'til the blood soaked her skin
Any means to stop the dreams
Memories playin' over in her mind
There was no escape
She was relivin' rape, and loss and hurt of all kinds
Growin' as a young girl in a home of much abuse
Growin' as a young child, where pain replaced the truth
Growin' as a young girl, where love was known as hurt
Growin' as a young child, she was made to feel she had no worth
She abandoned me
She don't live here anymore
Now the pain is gone, I'm movin' on
And I'm so glad to see
She don't live here anymore
All I have is love to keep me strong
Cancer ate the hair from mama's head
Both infants dead
Never could she see past the misery
All alone in a broken home
Grief overwhelmin' their history
Any means to stop the dreams
They hurt so loud, they couldn't hear her cries
No escape, there was so much hate
She screamed to God most every night
Growin' as a young girl in a home of much abuse
Growin' as a young child, where pain replaced the truth
Growin' as a young girl, where love was known as hurt
Growin' as a young child, she was made to feel she had no worth
She abandoned me
She don't live here anymore
Now the pain is gone, I'm movin' on
And I'm so glad to see
She don't live here anymore
All I have is love to keep me strong
Mama, forgive us for lyin'
Just tryin' to make it through the struggle
Forgive us for dyin', we never meant to cause trouble
I know that it's hard
When every time you give your heart, it get battered and scarred
Now you mad at the Lord, Daddy showed us the way
I know there gotta be another, convince us with somethin'
Replace the trickin' and cussin' with some kissin' and huggin'
Erase the visions when your son saw you hittin' his mother
How the fuck could you love her?
And this all that you taught us
I have to break a nigga face if he fuck with my daughter
Heaven or hell, I swim a boilin' ocean of water
I wouldn't rest 'til I caught him
But then I looked in the mirror and his face got clearer, look
How could we love 'em when we causin' 'em pain?
Shawty remind me of my mama sayin' "Daddy, you changed"
Don't want my daughters thinkin' crazy, deranged
Niggas is cool, 'cause the way they was raised
So I'm turnin' the page
And I'm sorry for the pain, my black queen
We had the truth rearranged, you my black queen
And you so precious, girl, the Lord'll guide you
Once you recognize the diamond inside you
Shawty, you can move on
She abandoned me
She don't live here anymore
Now the pain is gone, I'm movin' on
And I'm so glad to see
She don't live here anymore
All I have is love to keep me strong
