The Rich.The Poor.The Scandalous- Part 1

The Mistress
YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
The one statement that resonated throughout her life
Everything around her screamed it
It seemed like it was all she ever heard
Baby it was good but...
I would've liked it if...
I don't see why they picked you anyway when...
That other girl is so much better
Always only second best
To...
The other girl
That other girl
Some other girl
Adult life always drowned in
Girl when you gon' get a husband
And
Girl you still waitin' on that man to leave his wife
So she grits her teeth
Puts on a smile
And tries to convince her friends...
And herself
That this is the life
After all
No strings attached
No responsibilities
And the kids aren't hers
At least...
Those kids aren't hers
Yea...this is the life
When baby I love you
Becomes bitch get an abortion
She just can't do it like you do
Becomes you just can't love me like she does
We're gonna start our own family
Becomes but she's the mother of my kids
And I just can't live without you
Becomes I just can't love you
And with that she's off
Off to the next one
Accepting of this only second best mentality
She desensitizes herself to the pain she really feels
You all know her
You see her everyday
Whether young
Or old
Whether rich
Or poor...
Still scandalous
