I Was Your Good Thang

You Tried Trickery

You say this

You swear that

But your actions don’t even match

No your actions don’t match

You think you can trick me

But I’m not falling for no of of your trickery

You tried it

But I’m way smarter than that

Don’t play me for the things that you lack

That’s a very stupid move though

What you getting mad for

Your attitude is very poor

You can go on head and pack your stuff , and walk out that door

You did some crazy stuff in the past that I tried to ignore

But this time you really hurt me to my core

I tried to be your good thang

But you just kept driving me insane

And now we are just seeing rainy days

This is why we should go our separate ways

    I can hear this being sung and it sounds so beautiful, I felt every word and your feelings and thoughts came through very nicely, it read almost like a story too and I could imagine the scene that goes with it. Very well written 👌🤗💗 👏

    Straight up, this hits hard! Emily Raw, real, and no-nonsense—calling out the nonsense and taking back the power. "I tried to be your good thang" hits like a mic drop.💀 Tough love anthem right here!😊❤️
