More than a woman?

mind spinning like a dryer that won't get hot
claiming she be banging cuz her engine knock
wishing she was dishing but she really not
stuffin muffins with somebody else’s dirty sock

its like watching a talent show in the insane asylum
at the end of every act, you stand and clap, just lying
clapping harder than the rest while inside, you're dying
cuz this shit don’t make no sense, even though she trying

is she crazy cuz some bleeding heart encouraged this mess
clouding her mind with cheap ass wine to tell her how to dress
using her as a canvas for they brokenness
and displaying they work of art as an S.O.S.?

ain’t it obvious that this “bitch” has been traumatized
a stray whose pain and suffering have been glamorized
broken and made over for reciting lies
to infect other rejects and steal their souls and eyes

the ugliness be dodging you until you remember
she was once a newborn baby with her whole life before her
and that somewhere long the way the world snuck in and abused her
violating her innocence cuz no one was there to protect her

and over time she lost her mind, though she is functionally insane
the grooves and knicks of her experience keeping her guttered in pain
unable to knock down her problems cuz she can’t stay in her lane
giving the finger to her failure she reinvented the game

so while you listen to her posture and profess her truth
just remember someone’s daughter lost her baby tooth
when a pedophile’s fist broke the jaw of her youth
and the concussion that she suffered makes her act the fool.
