Manifest Lauryn

You see I loved hard once, but the love wasn't returned 
I found out the man I'd die for, he wasn't even concerned 
And time it turned, 
He tried to burn me like a perm 
Though my eyes saw the deception, My heart wouldn't let me learn 
From um, some, dumb woman, was I, 
And everytime he'd lie, he would cry and inside I'd die. 
My heart must have died a thousand deaths 
Compared myself to Toni Braxton thought I'd never catch my breath 
Nothing left, he stole the heart beating from my chest 
I tried to call the cops, that type of thief you can't arrest 
Pain suppressed, will lead to cardiac arrest 
Diamonds deserve diamonds, but he convinced me I was worth less
when my peoples would protest, 
I told them mind their business, cause my s*** was complex 
More than just the sex 
I was blessed, but couldn't feel it like when I was caressed 
I'd spend nights clutching my breasts overwhelmed by God's test 
I was God's best contemplating death with a Gillette 
But no man is ever worth the paradise MANIFEST
