Been Afraid - P.O.S[00:00:00]
Yeah million dollar baby girl in the lower middle class[00:00:08]
With a Maglite right beneath her pillow[00:00:13]
And no she's never been a boxer by choice[00:00:15]
She's known to act oak he'll never catch her a willow nuh[00:00:18]
She the calm type you see the small scars[00:00:21]
Creeping down her arm peeking from her rolled sleeves right[00:00:23]
She keeps him weak in the knees but she out stay out of sight[00:00:26]
And when that school bell rings it's goodnight[00:00:29]
Or might as well be he never sees her around[00:00:30]
But he looks for weeks now he's been maybe tomorrow[00:00:33]
But he's shook he sees them bruises and he needs to please her[00:00:36]
Plus he don't wanna go home either gives her a look[00:00:38]
They pass copies down a poem from a schoolbook[00:00:41]
Gives it to her after hesitation whoops his ass[00:00:44]
She took it fast lost like all sensation in her hands[00:00:46]
Then braces herself gracefully sturdy where she stands[00:00:49]
On some humble mumbling pass the words fumbling[00:00:51]
Nothing discouraging just nerves drumming up the courage[00:00:54]
Something bout skylines or bike rides or riverbeds[00:00:57]
Something something that he read[00:01:00]
It caught her right beneath the armor[00:01:02]
Cauterized thought of any blunt forced trauma[00:01:04]
Ain't no way that he could harm her[00:01:06]
When the curse leave a shell like a snake with fresh scales[00:01:07]
Some people seem to call that home but some souls roam[00:01:10]
Keep riding till the cycle is broke[00:01:13]
We ain't got to go through nothing alone[00:01:15]
When the curse leave a shell like a snake with fresh scales[00:01:17]
Some people seem to call that home but some souls roam[00:01:20]
Keep riding till the cycle is broke[00:01:23]
We ain't got to go through nothing alone[00:01:25]
She's in the weather the whole storm[00:01:29]
Hugging on her prince his hands to skin warm[00:01:30]
Quick out the door no note no forlorn[00:01:33]
Cause all they heard was papa don't hit me no more[00:01:35]
But they couldn't seem to keep the swelling down[00:01:38]
How they regretting ever letting out this third child born[00:01:40]
But things are getting better now yeah cozy sweater now[00:01:43]
With her thumbs through the holes in her sleeves worn down[00:01:46]
And the boy similar noise minimal toy criminal[00:01:49]
Joy simple when someone's found it in you[00:01:51]
Somehow it boost the individual that bluish hue is mutual[00:01:53]
They make love gently so aware of each other's bruises[00:01:56]
And sorta scared they can lose this[00:02:00]
Trust bury the blues somewhere it won't bear roots[00:02:02]
But is this boy where the truth is[00:02:05]
She's spooked see fruit never seem to fall far from the useless[00:02:07]
Branch that it's attached to[00:02:10]
And quacks say if he's beat up he's bound to smack you[00:02:12]
She's down to step back now if he ever got loud[00:02:15]
She couldn't be proud of whatever she might do[00:02:17]
But it's the first time she ever felt touch[00:02:20]
That didn't bring her to hush like something was being done to her[00:02:22]
That unscrews her she loosens with the booze[00:02:25]
Her hinge can stay bent addressing her dude's wounds[00:02:27]
Regressing to bedrooms where fools ignored don't[00:02:30]
He's not one of them tools that screws nuts and bolts[00:02:33]
And she know that and she know that[00:02:35]
But she holds back and she hope that he see the way she flinch[00:02:38]
Cause it's knee jerk to brace for attack[00:02:41]
Even if he's only rubbing her back[00:02:43]
I mean and even if it's like the deck has been stacked[00:02:45]
It's not an act he's been loving her back hold your heart up[00:02:48]
Never raise your hand he says that with a grownup's voice[00:02:51]
I'm yours now just like a child[00:02:54]
Please don't be scared now it clicks[00:02:56]
A piece finally fits I love you[00:02:58]
They said that with their lips[00:03:00]
Never raise your hand he says that with a grownup's voice[00:03:01]
I'm yours now just like a child[00:03:04]
Please don't be scared now it clicks[00:03:06]
A piece finally fits I love you[00:03:08]
When the curse leave a shell like a snake with fresh scales[00:03:12]
Some people seem to call that home but some souls roam[00:03:14]
Keep riding till the cycle is broke[00:03:17]
We ain't got to go through nothing alone[00:03:19]
When the curse leave a shell like a snake with fresh scales[00:03:22]
Some people seem to call that home but some souls roam[00:03:25]
Keep riding till the cycle is broke[00:03:28]
We ain't got to go through nothing alone[00:03:30]
