Should of Known Better

Should have known better -

Than to holler out to you

Two years earlier -

Quite the arrogant one, I would say

Getting your attention was the worst thing to do

I didn't know then -

How you would make my heart so blue

Cheating, lies, & drugs or what you knew best

Seven long on & off years 

They were pure hell at best

Mental, emotional,& physical abuse,too -

I was so young, I didn't know what to do

Two children we had together -

One girl & one boy

I already had a little girl,too

Should of known better -

Than to holler out to you

Using me in any way that you could -

Hurting me in every which way that you thought you should

Your madness,evil,& crazy ways -

Made me lose my babies

You didn't care either way

Told me that if I wasn't going to be with you -

I wouldn't have them either

You made sure of that

No matter what obstacles I went through

Losing so many years with my babies -

Now that they're all grown up

I can have a relationship with them maybe

I should of known better -

Than to holler out to you

All the days, months, & years -

You made my heart blue

One at a time -

I'm getting my babies back

Nothing you can do to stop that

I should of known better -

Than to holler out to you

Years gone by, depression taking over

Pushing through the days, months, & years

Surviving the hell you put me through

My babies are all grown up

Can't keep us apart anymore

For the rest of my life -

Showing them, that they are my heart & more

They are what I survived this crazy life for

I should of known better
