"Not Your Typical Black Girl Lost"
written by: MsQuoted (@shari_says)

Her face is the inner city back drop

Heels walked where rats stand at bus stops

Her hands been cuffed by hand cuffs, no cops

And her eyes seen so much her lenses have grim spots

Her body and mind is so............distant

And when it comes to trust she so [resistant]

Her heart been crushed and beating down by bulldozers

And every time she tries to walk away, shepullscloser

See this isn’t the typical story of a black girl lost

Because this is a story about a corporate Boss

Living in her corporate world in her uptown penthouse

Sitting behind her Italian desk watching HBO’s Cathouse

She worked hard to reach the top dealing with so much prejudice

But now she reaching for girls, wishing Craig had more lists

So she can have a Render-vous with one maybe two

To conceal the guilt of her abortions, one maybe few

Buried in her heart she thinks that’s what her mom shoulda done

Instead of leaving her at a Mc Donalds at the age of one

So Dad FEND for himself, his salary working on cars

He was the best father he could be, besides the nights at bars

So happy she never caught her daddy’s disease being an alcoholic

She wasn’t careful and got caught up being a shopaholic

Her eyes spends bigger than her Louie V wallet

And all her money washes down in her luxury faucet

So she is constantly at Chase bank chasing favors

You know addicts has multiple addictive behaviors

So she paying for escorts and not paying attention to her debt

Oblivious, she needs porn cause humans barely get her wet

But the best part is her best friend she met at Lincoln H.S. 9th period

Who been there throughout all her Lindsay/Britney periods

She helped her pay for college so she never had to touch a pole

Gave her places to live, never out in the cold

Nevertheless, she fucked her best friend’s husband, a female Brutus

Funny, cause her husband with the niceeeee caesar was named Julius

The one man she ever truly loved wasn’t even hers

Wasting nights trying to convince him to move to the Burbs

But all he did was m o v e money out her account until she was bankrupt

Her face filled with humility and abuse she can’t cover with make-up

Spending her nights under the tunnel laying with laymen

So calling her a black girl lost might be a ____________

.......................................................understatement
