Today wasn't so bad swollen by my right ear Been with this man 9/10 months about a year Always cook his favorite dish every friday night Steak and potatoes feeds my mans appetite Prepared it just in time don't want to get my man mad STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HE BEAT ME SO BAD Make sure his dishes washed floors mopped windows cleaned Don't need that look from him It's ugly so mean Won't raise my voice put my hands on my hip Oh no honey you about to get one to the lip He calls my name with so much anger and hate In the back of my mind I'm sad I even went on that date Your man comes home you glad I'm sad STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HE BEAT ME SO BAD Blackened my eye made me cry Then when I see my mother I got to tell a lie Don't want to get no one involved don't need no help If he finds out I get beat with a belt Slap me around like a child of his own Hurt me so bad I feel it in my bones Beat me in my head repeatedly with his fist Then turn around and ask for a kiss Need to make a phone call, someone help me find my dad STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HE BEAT ME SO BAD Pays all my bills keeps me in the finest clothes Don't talk too loud uh uh see caught me in the nose Try my best to be so nice, when I do he beat me twice All this done by my so called man member that day he slapped me with the back of his hand Felt them knuckles with such great pace Hit me so hard done messed up my face What I do to him to make him so mad STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HE BEAT ME SO BAD Can't get my hair done it all fell out He wrecking my nerves when he scream and shout What I do now why you push me on the ground Did it quick before I could turn around He’s beating me bad somebody help I need a donor 3 months later I'm recovering from a coma Leaned over and kissed me it tasted so bitter Enough I say got a lot to reconsider Doctor walked in the room his name was trinidad STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HE BEAT ME SO BAD This has got to stop get some back bone girl Your not the only one it's happening around the world Time to stand tall put some bass in my voice Getting out of this I do have a choice Got a full clip and I'm ready to go Five times in the chest when he walked through the doe Look at this man Mr. Bad Ass Thad See his life leaving him I was glad No more bruises no more pain and tears I'm going to the bar drink me a couple of beers Everybody raise your drink with a loud voice cheers It's me everybody amen I'm free And I guarantee Not another man will put his hands on me
This is strong. Writing's very controlled.
really like this part;
"Make sure his dishes washed
floors mopped windows cleaned
Don't need that look from him
It's ugly so mean
Won't raise my voice put my hands on my hip
Oh no honey you about to get one to the lip
He calls my name with so much anger and hate
In the back of my mind I'm sad I even went on that date
Your man comes home you glad I'm sad
STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HE BEAT ME SO BAD"
