From the beginning I told you I was more than you were used to
That I would accept drama or you not being truthful
I was someone that required more work than you were willing to put in
And I told you make sure you were ready before we begin
You must have heard yourself when you said you wanted a woman like me
That you were tired of chicken heads and I would just have to wait and see
Give you a chance to show and prove that you were than man that I needed
That you had studied me before I even knew your name and my advice had been headed
The keeper of the ambition and tenderness the others were lacking
And for a while, I have to admit, in those departments, you were never slacking
You listened like no else, took interest in what made me and held me until I felt safe
Momentarily felt like my future was in front of me, that the hurt in the past you erased
Then the day came when that caring nature was gone
And you became the type of man I had been avoiding for so long
When I called you on it, you said I wasn’t being supportive of your situation
Patience was needed and when all was said and done, a pedestal I would be placed on
I didn’t sign up for this bull****, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt
Under the delusion that this was just a temporary bout
And now that I had made it clear that things needed to be addressed
That we could work through them and in the end be blessed
But oh no, the saga continued and deteriorated even further
Until you were someone else, the man that I first met, now just a low murmur
Confusing me daily for a chick that was with being ignored and mistreated
Thinking that with a few small gestures, my leaving would be impeded
You mistook me for someone that didn’t have enough self esteem to walk away
That I would just hope that you would change one day
No, no sweetie, life in my world is not like that
I’ve already done my time being mistaken for a common hood rat
Hoping that my value would eventually be recognized
But by the time you met me I had already figured out that my heart is a prize
And that any man that is to occupy it would need to have the sense to respect that
I need more in a man than a magician pulling game out of a black top hat
Now, you’re mad. Your true colors are showing
Mad that you couldn’t break me, the rage in your eyes is glowing
It’s really a comical sight to see
Thinking that a few threats would get me to say, to not look out for me
Keep on talking, you will be doing it for a while
And when you get tired of the drama, I sincerely hope you find for yourself a smile
Because the one that once shined on my face for you
Yeah, that’s gone, and trust honey, you aren’t irreplaceable
To the left, to the left!
