Analysis of being real
You can ways count on me
We met cause of destiny
We ride or die for each other like it should be
men hate cause they can’t have you or me
True friend for and eternity
Not blood related
But we bonded by two lady’s
That god blessed them to have us as baby.
Facing life with kids that drive us crazy
Yet we maintain on a everyday bases
Never needing a man as are kids we raising
True women to the game men that cant support there kids is lame
Don’t tell me that my family you can maintain
When you can’t even for a pack of diapers pay
men you lame is a shame that my kids get a check and the bills they help pay
men be gone go upon your way
I want a man that the bills he can pay And me maintain
I want to feel like the women back in the days
that shit they had to pay cause a man new his place
I want a man that leaves a trace that no other man can replace
Till them I’ll hold my shit down with my girl that never lets me down
And if I ever fall is there to pick me up off the ground….
