Like A Child

See now,
Like a jealous child
You thought you could easily take what I already got.
You’re not confident enough in yourself to be me.
That’s why you chasin’ ain’t it?
My style; I'm fly
The way my eyes crinkle when I smile
Like a child
You thought he would fall in love with you
For the same reasons he fell in love with me.
But baby girl,
You’re not smart enough to attain a man.
Cause when you lay it all out there
Without a care,
Ankles never meeting
Cause your legs are always in a succession,
Never progressing,
Always suppressing your original expression
But you need to have a closed session
Cause when you offer up yourself like that
You take away the chase
And when he’s done with you
He’ll just walk away.

See now,
You thought you were special
Cause he was with you for a second.
But you were a mistake,
One he would never waste
Time and revel in
Cause like Thea Monyee said:
“Your pussy’s not deep enough to fall in
love with,”
Cause if anyone can turn you on
Like a light bulb
You ain’t nothing special.


So stop thinking you can be me,
Cause not everybody can be a queen.
You can’t turn a ho in to a housewife
So don’t yourself.

You thought when I left
You would fit perfectly
Cut, Photo shopped, and framed
Edited like MySpace photo
Cropped in
Right where I used to be
But in reality
I’m still here
I was never really gone
Cause my presence is too big to be ignore
Considering that in life,
I’m his main component.


I’m baffled as to why
You would even try this
Cause you were a friend
And I was your best friend
And even before I was gone
Your true colors showed.


And you showed me
Your feathers are much different from mine
That’s why I could never flap my wings
And fly with you


You don’t respect yourself
The crown you once wore
Is now discarded on the floor
Your once beautiful gold crown
Is now a shanti tin can at the age of 13.


There’s no one you could blame for your life
Cause with the cards you were dealt
You could have one this poker game.


You can’t blame me for losing
You can’t blame me for your life
Cause I’ve done nothing to wrong you
You bit my hand when I fed you
And your siblings
All 8 of y’all


You try to be me,
But you cant imitate royalty
Because both you and I know
How it ends in the movie
And trust me when I say
Your no Anastasia
