LATCH KEY

LcTCH KEY
written by kari faux

verse 1
see i can take two things, the dick and a hint
so if you act like you don't want me baby then ima dip
supplier of the juice so come and get you a sip
if you can't eat the coochie propper ima lickity split
peel back the layers of trauma like a fucking banana
i remember when you tried to make me your baby mama
told you stop when the condom broke you said you didn't wanna
back when i freaked black and milds, sipping strawberry fanta
my period was late but i didn't get the message
til the doctor said you have urinary tract infection
and we also took a test that says you're six weeks pregnant
i heard cries out to God cause my mother was reverend
she had Jesus on the main like frequent calls to heaven
all the while im popping thyroid pills to balance out my levels
preparing for motherhood, Lord knew i wasn't ready
about two weeks later the baby had miscarried

verse 2
i walked home alone must i remind you
you say when you make it in the house to lock the door behind you
i needed more hugs, you didn't have time to
so tv and my imagination i was confined to
now im all grown up, sometimes i hate myself
to be completely honest, i wouldn't date myself
a prideful needy girl who hates to ask for help
she's either quiet as a mouse or beside herself
the deepest parts of me are wounded, i mean skinned to the bone
lost my V while cshanti playing im foolish
she acting out in school again, i dont know why she'd do this
ask me whats been going on, i naturally play clueless
felt overlooked but now im getting booked
for shows in different states where people dance and sing my hooks
been harboring some feels but its safe to say we good
just know i love you deeply and you did the best you could
