| [01:30.238] |
Rib of my rib do you still feel us in ya |

Their innate ways to fake |
| [04:44.942] |
And play with you in this life you were given |
| [04:46.818] |
Over this nightmare you are living |
| [04:48.468] |

Your broken spirit can' t always be the excuse |
| [05:12.907] |
Thought I taught you the gravity of respect |
| [05:14.730] |
And paying dues thought you knew |
| [05:17.791] |
My God don' t like ugly |
| [05:22.780] |
My God said she need an apology |
| [05:27.701] |
Needs to know you see all the beauty she created |
| [05:31.209] |
Needs you to know wouldn' t be no you |
| [05:33.383] |
If it wasn' t for us |
