The Deck was Stacked Against her...
overwhelming pressures
mobilized against her
...trying to defeat her

The Deck was Stacked Against her...

she reached down into the bowels
of a crippled soul
blood and sweat
dripped from intensely focused eyes
that spied
the lies of an enemy
knocking at her door

The Deck was Stacked Against her...

mass destruction rained down around her
terror seeped into her soul
she found comfort in the
knock...knock...knock
of the boogey man
at her door

The Deck was Stacked Against her...

"why did this happen to me?"
she asked

"Why do grown women cry?
why do i?

WHY?

The Deck is Stacked Against me...

the headache and heartache
that's heaped upon a sistah like me
as ev'ryday bullshyt
is thrown my way
day
after
day
ev'ry
mutha
********
day
finds me
knee deep in **** that shouldn't be

The Deck is Stacked Against me...

but that's no excuse

so,
each day
i rise
to fight another day
to defeat another deck
that stands in my way

The Deck is Stacked Against me...

but
i do what i do
anyway.

HEAR ME."
 
the deck that was stacked!

Tho the deck that be stacked
does seem like it would break da back
You find her standing still.
Determined through adversity
That she and her's would be free
Da deck was stacked against her
But undaunted she remained
as Terror reinged down upon
her, each step she said a silent
prayer...
layer by layer
of shittiness
step by step
sure footedness
Guess she got by on her blessedness
Cause da Deck is still stacked against
her!

*Spontaneous flow did occur, my humble apology!
Feeling dis one like I gave birth to it! Much love homie!:heart: :D
