Given Up
I've been spit on
literally hit with saliva
but apparently I'm the b*tch conniva'
how can i divide my problems
when there ain't no mathmagic trick for sh*t
and still I stick with this
I might as well just lay down
allow a beating
'till my heart ain't blue-
but brown
bruised is better than having a heart full of broken down
But d*mn, I've given up
