Haystak - Different Kinda Lady lyrics

rate me

She was the prom queen, the world was hers

With a wave of her hand, whispered words

Hearts broken by her abilities

Addicted to the sweetness of a gentle kiss

Lost in a search for something she might never find

Never know if she don\'t try, the results will come in time

No time to smell the roses, let alone slow dance

Too many bad memories of forgotten romance

She walked out slammed the door

Damn him, she didn\'t need him

A child game she had to cloth him feed him

Alone after so long gave up hope

Convinced all men were abusive

Undependable heathens and sold dope

Mister right wasn\'t coming

A fact that she would have to face

She didn\'t have no time to waste, she had a man to raise

No man to chase, sick of living in this blasted place

No time to sit around weeping like a basket case

Herson made it all worthwhile

The only man that got to see her smile

She reminisced about her lifestyle before the baby came

She did what responsible people do, she changed

[Chorus x 2]

She\'s a different kinda lady

She\'s not often understood

She was my best friend, my playmate

Moved in next door just before the first grade

We ran foot races, climb trees, caught insects

Before money and sex, powder and x

Before popularity came so crucial

She had love and the feeling was mutual

We used to cut our feet barefooted in chipped glass

Now we blow smoke as we skip class

New friends came, and with them came change

The pressure was all, would lil mama maintain

She began to drift away, the distance between us grew wider

Didn\'t have to speak to me, I could see the hurt inside her

I hear the words out of her mouth

But they don\'t reflect what she really feel

I\'ve seen the smile before I know it isn\'t real

Artificial happiness, superficial friends

A nonstop whirl wind, when will it all end

Her eyes roll back, she began to convulse

They searched for a heartbeat, but she had no pulse

Autopsy results show she mixed powder and downers

And none of her new friends were around her

When her family found her, but a

[Chorus x 2]

She\'s a different kinda lady

She\'s not often understood

She was a young girl seventeen, if I recollect correctly

A baby with a baby, that baby was me

She worked everyday still it wasn\'t enough

World was rough, ol\' girl was tough

Drop me off in the morning

Come back and get me in the afternoon

Free spirits lost being guided by the moon

Used to take me to church, try to make me a man

But hard times put drastic changes in plan

She was out there, every time she got up, she fell again

In love with a bastard, stay in and out the pen

Alcoholic addict, never tried to change himself

Beat her to a pulp, and make her blame herself

I tried to talk to her, mama you don\'t have to stay

Just pack your bags and go, you can walk away

She tell me about this pain, hoping I\'d never experience it

Baby boy love is some serious shit, I pray for change

Eventually it came, like rays of light after days of rain

She turned her life around, walked away never to return

Still tempted by the fire, just tired of being burned

[Chorus x 2]

She\'s a different kinda lady

She\'s not often understood
