Signed, Caroline


I cry to eat 

I drink to sleep 

Just can't get myself to think 

why 

All you do is make me feel 

Like all I do is slack, cheat and 

lie 

Here's the deal, imma keep it real

Just know that I 

tried

But my blood,sweat and tears 

Have been 

denied

I'm more than that

So imma pick up slack

spit some flack

try to get back 

What once was 

mine 

You see, I'm 

Ms. This system just ain't justified 

Ms. This party makes me feel alright inside

Ms. I rarely won so I rarely tried

I apologize 

You had to figure me out 

It's all good, im'ma walk it out 

Show that big 'ole world what I'm really about

On this dimly-lit road, I hobble alone 

With no phone, with no dime 

Ms. Done with this 

Signed
