lyrics

I see her everyday, just sitting on that stoop
She raise three bad ass kids, with nothing to do
Her boyfriend’s a deadbeat, spending all her money
Only time she talks to him is when he wants something

She just sits on that stoop sucking on that cancer
Little does he know she got crazy plans ta
Blow up his scheme, and toss him in the deep end
He thinks he some kind of suburban kingpin

See one night cops came, raided the crib
He wasn’t there, just her and the kids
She made a deal with the po, that if she sells out
She won’t spend a single night in that jail house

But she had another plan too, flee to Cancun
When her place was ran through, she found a large sum
Of cash in a safe, that she kept hidden from
The police when they raided, and her man was so faded

He probably forgot it about and assumed he misplaced it
So every day she sits, on the stoop, complacent
Waiting for the day to blow the whistle on her man
Execute the plan and walk away traceless /

I see her every day, in the same position
She smirks while her dude talks some big shit
Like “I run this town and the whole county
The cops couldn’t do shit, even if the found me”

She sits on that stoop, waiting and counting
The days down, she can’t wait to make it out
Shit it’s so close, she can almost taste it now
She’ll give her kids to their dads, while this plays out

But truthfully speaking, she ain’t ever coming back for them
Yeah she loves them, and she kinda feels bad for em,
But it’s just a small sacrifice, so she won’t think twice
Of dipping to Mexico and re-starting her life

Never left this white trash town, until tonight
She dropped off her kids, smoked another cig
Slipped something in his drink, call the police
I drove by the apartment and she wasn’t at the stoop

A bunch of squad cars, he woke up to reds and blues
She took her dude’s truck, 50k in the trunk
Left behind everything she’s ever known and loved
Now all she drinks is Tequila and doesn’t give a fuck

And that’s it.
