Guarded

(album: Domo vs Domonique - 2020)

I choose to be alone
Cause I'm the only one that I trust
And I be, looking for love but they just looking for lust
It's a must that I just fuckin keep my guard up
And focus on my baby boy forever, put my heart up
Cause how I'm pose to
Find somebody when anyone will come with me
Just for, a lil fame and to try to ride in a Bentley
I be flying this baddie to see me up in my city
I don't trust a soul but I knew her before I made a penny

I be stressed as fuck cause every time I meet somebody
They want something from me like they don't know how to treat somebody
They just wanna be somebody
Guess I'm just a meal ticket
I used to be gullible so I guess I gotta deal with it
Nigga said he love me had me fallin from the skylines
Niggas got no guidelines
Lying just to buy time
Damn, just from seeing that I got it bigger?
Never met my son but claiming roles to be a father figure?

This why I protect my boy
Nobody even met my boy
Cause he needs some stability
I never will regret my boy
No matter I'm single a mom
And this is just the way it goes
I wanted him and whoever love me just gotta love us both

Cause, I will never ever settle for shit
I used to be like hella weak and I would level for shit
My brain was medaling shit
Cause I was always in pity
I never ever felt pretty
Nobody ever stayed with me like damn

If I didn't have the cars and the money
Would you even really want me for real?
If I ain't have all the million people watching
And I didn't take you shopping for heels
And to the fellas if I lost all I had
Would you still think I was bad for real?
If I wasn't poppin tags but putting groceries in bags
Would you love me for real?

Yea, I gave my heart to people and they just shitted on my heart
They be loving on me in person but hating when we apart
And I, I keep my distance cause I don't know where to start
And every time I get close to somebody they up and depart
So I just, count all my money and stay on my antisocial
Don't come to me like I know you, entitled but I don't owe you
And, my father reached out but nigga, I do not know you
You askin why I don't help you, you actin like I'm suppose to
I ghost you because you did it to me
Yea, and you come back and try spit it to me
Damn, you broke my heart before any man could
But it's okay cause Ima always be good
I gave my mother fuckin heart to a bitch but she stepped on it
Gave my heart to a nigga and he just fuckin flexed on it
Sexed on it
Don't ask me why I'm fuckin heartless and guarded
And feel like a target
Cause, I beg your pardon?

If I didn't have the cars and the money
Would you even really want me for real?
If I ain't have all the million people watching
And I didn't take you shopping for heels
And to the fellas if I lost all I had
Would you still think I was bad for real?
If I wasn't poppin tags but putting groceries in bags
Would you love me for real?

If I didn't have the cars and the money
Would you even really want me for real?
If I ain't have all the million people watching
And I didn't take you shopping for heels
And to the fellas if I lost all I had
Would you still think I was bad for real?
If I wasn't poppin tags but putting groceries in bags
Would you love me for real?
