M.A.

I’m sorry I’m really confused

I sometimes get amused

By games

Played like lames

Where’d we argue about how who’s more right and call each other names

Take off those frames

Shove your tongue down my throat

Ask me to yell out a note

But I always catch myself in a sinking boat

You like to read the currents? I just like to float

Shit I don’t care if the ship sinks

I don’t care if you can’t handle drinks

No I don’t care you wait to tell me things months later

I don’t care about those girls you fuck with, I’m no hater

I don’t care you don’t think I’m pretty

I don’t care that you just care about yourself, even though things are shitty

No I don’t care about anything because I’m young 

I don’t care that you say mean things and make me happy with your tongue

I like to think that you know and are going to do what is right

I figure that this amount of hurt is a healthy fight

I just have a spot for dark skin niggas and you like me because I’m light

And we don’t have anything in common and that’s okay

I use to yell at you because I thought you weren’t going to stay

Now I’m scared for dear life

That as soon as I’m in college I’m going to be the wife

Of somebody that doesn’t adore me 

That doesn’t appreciate more of me

I just hope you’re sure of me
