Look Lyrics

Walked in the room he had her pinned down to the ground,
I was yelling please don’t hurt her she did nothing wrong,
I was only five years old and that was just the beginning..
My mama wasn’t herself no more,
everyone around her never understood,
“I’ll believe it when I see it” kind of situation,
even her own family didn’t stick around..
They told her yeah he hurts you, well yeah he pushes you down, but look at what he gave you,
don’t be so ungrateful,
they told her yeah he yells at you, well yeah he dragged you up the stairs while your kids were watching, but look at all the riches, look at what you live in..
The police arrived took sides with the monster, big surprise,
I was seven years older but it still felt so wrong..
My mama wasn’t herself no more,
everyone around her never understood,

“I’ll believe it when I see it” kind of situation,
even our own family didn’t stick around..
They told her yeah he hurts you, well yeah he pushes you down, but look at what he gave you,
don’t be so ungrateful,
they told her yeah he yells at you, well yeah he dragged you up the stairs while your kids were watching, but look at all the riches, look at what you live in..
She said this isn’t how it’s supposed to be,
he shouldn’t do this to me,
put yourself in my shoes and try to walk ten feet without falling, without falling..
They said well yeah he hurt you, yeah he pushed you down, but look at what he gave you,
don’t be so ungrateful..
They told her yeah he hurts you, well yeah he pushes you down, but look at what he gave you,
don’t be so ungrateful,
they told her yeah he yells at you, well yeah he dragged you up the stairs while your kids were watching, but look at all the riches, look at what you live in
Oh
