I'm holding on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound You tell me that you need me Then you go and cut me down, but wait You tell me that you're sorry Didn't think I'd turn around, and say... Ok I'm talking bout a Good girl gone bad Crooked world wrong pad Right mom wrong dad I sing this song mad but not mad enough to shoot you But it just eats me up like some bbq from Luther's In the morning with the boosters On the corner with the boosters And she's the freshcut and they're on her like sutures And I wanna talk to her But her momma has to school her I wanna see her better She's the weather of my future I don't wanna see another hurricane Baby you can kill the pain If you just let me explain Trust me I know what I'm sayin' You will end up on the track of an oncoming train Stuck in the passenger seat Trying do the fast lane Well once upon a time there was a mom and a dad Who on the outside had everything people wished they had A beautiful daughter two story house two car garage And a white picket fence wrapped around the front yard See daddy was a doctor And mommy was a banker Mommy's job got outsourced So now mommy's drinker Daddy had a malpractice suit Now he's a snorter And all this shits takin place right in front of their daughter She says, “Daddy what's wrong?” But he's just too high “Mommy what we gon' do?” She just get drunk and cry Caught in the middle of two wrongs trying to do right Looking for answers alone in the darkness of night That shit ain't tight I'm holding on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound You tell me that you need me Then you go and cut me down, but wait
