What She Needs
1997
Sittin’ on the front step figuring, ‘Oh, what the heck’
Her baby-boys asleep in the back
Six-pack at her feet, watchin’ cars go down the street
And smokes herself a little crack
Stoned but trying to look straight, homeboy just a little late
Puts her cigarette out on the ground
EPT back positive, her welfare life alternative
And it looks like he wont be coming around
I don’t think it’s fair, she says, how the whole world turned on me
But what goes around, comes around eventually, yeah yeah yeah yeah
What she needs is a good hard look around
What she gets she only does it to herself
What she wants is to put the blame on everyone else
Well I don’t need her mental
Back seat of the squad car, pushed the booze a little hard
Got busted driving drunk again
Doesn’t have the bread to pay, rehab don’t work anyway
She’ll do her 90 days in the pen
Husband left her years ago, couldn’t take it anymore
She wouldn’t turn her life around straight
But she’s still hanging out and holding on, cant stand that hes moving on
Her attitudes a little irate
I don’t think it’s fair, she says, how the whole world turned on me
But what goes around, comes around eventually, yeah yeah yeah yeah
What she needs is a good hard look around
What she gets she only does it to herself
What she wants is to put the blame on everyone else
Well I don’t need her mental
Packed and moved to Michigan to start her life over again
She wont be getting her son back
Still has warrants to this day, cant go back there anyway
So she smokes herself a little crack
What she needs is a good hard look around
What she gets she only do unto herself
What she wants is to put the blame on everyone else
Well I don’t need her mental
This is a true story that I think pretty much tells itself.
