The Weekend

Ring Ring Ring

By Shinere TaylorPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

Aww man here I sit on the Weekend

Who would have thought I would be here

All alone all by myself just these four walls

Where is everyone at? Where is HE?

You promised me you would be there

Its Sunday I’m looking for you

How could you let me down? I’m sorry!

Please I need you right now I can’t do this

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

No answer so I here I sit on the Weekend

What is this feeling in my guts telling me?

Did you abandon me? Are you punishing me?

So many thoughts are running through my mind

I don’t know what to do I’m running out of time

Somebody gotta tell me something I can’t accept nothing

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

No answer so here I sit on the Weekend

So many faces I can’t relate too

What the hell am I going to do?

How dare they look at me like that?

Is it because I’m young and black?

I can’t believe this shit

I let myself get wrapped like this

They say hard head makes a soft ass

That what I get for moving too fast!

I won’t lie I had a blast

Naïve’ girl fast money don’t last

Shit catches up with you real fast!

Nah fuck that it’s his fault

Who would of thought?

Here I sit on the Weekend

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

I hate him I wish I never met him

How could I be this stupid how could I

You so smart you dumb

Young, dumb, and full of mf’ cum

I will never forgive you

I’m down feeling blue

And where are you? Home!

How dare you! I was used!

I was emotionally and verbally abused

My lack of knowing was taken for granted

I wish my feelings for you can be recanted

Up all night my brain won’t sleep

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

There is nothing I can do not a damn thing

Damn here I sit on the Weekend!

So many thoughts racing through my head

Right about now I think I’m better off dead

What am I talking about? I can’t think like that

I was built stronger than that

Then it hits me your words come back to me

Remember never let them see you sweat

Better not cry and hold your head high

I got you I will be there

I just need you to not to fear

Baby girl I’m on my way

But where are you? Today is the day!

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

Finally! Tell me speak to me what’s going on?

I hate to say but your father is gone!

How could that be say it isn’t so

It felt like I was just hit with a low blow

So this is what it has come down too

To lie and deceive me to tell me my dad left me

How unfair of you matter fact Fuck You!

My time with you is long overdue

I’m done I’m so through I must get over you

Aww man here I sit on the Weekend

Still in shock and disbelief

What did this Ninja just tell me?

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

I need you to repeat what you said again

He stated Shinere your father is in heaven

I was having a hard time receiving the message

Suddenly my mind went blank I’m incoherent!

All at once the signs was apparent

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

Here I sit on the Weekend
