Haystak - Different Kinda Lady Lyrics
She was the prom queen, the world was hersWith a wave of her hand, whispered wordsHearts broken by her abilitiesAddicted to the sweetness of a gentle kissLost in a search for something she might never findNever know if she don't try, the results will come in timeNo time to smell the roses, let alone slow danceToo many bad memories of forgotten romanceShe walked out slammed the doorDamn him, she didn't need himA child game she had to cloth him feed himAlone after so long gave up hopeConvinced all men were abusiveUndependable heathens and sold dopeMister right wasn't comingA fact that she would have to faceShe didn't have no time to waste, she had a man to raiseNo man to chase, sick of living in this blasted placeNo time to sit around weeping like a basket caseHerson made it all worthwhileThe only man that got to see her smileShe reminisced about her lifestyle before the baby cameShe did what responsible people do, she changed[Chorus x 2]She's a different kinda ladyShe's not often understoodShe was my best friend, my playmateMoved in next door just before the first gradeWe ran foot races, climb trees, caught insectsBefore money and sex, powder and xBefore popularity came so crucialShe had love and the feeling was mutualWe used to cut our feet barefooted in chipped glassNow we blow smoke as we skip classNew friends came, and with them came changeThe pressure was all, would lil mama maintainShe began to drift away, the distance between us grew widerDidn't have to speak to me, I could see the hurt inside herI hear the words out of her mouthBut they don't reflect what she really feelI've seen the smile before I know it isn't realArtificial happiness, superficial friendsA nonstop whirl wind, when will it all endHer eyes roll back, she began to convulseThey searched for a heartbeat, but she had no pulseAutopsy results show she mixed powder and downersAnd none of her new friends were around herWhen her family found her, but a[Chorus x 2]She's a different kinda ladyShe's not often understoodShe was a young girl seventeen, if I recollect correctlyA baby with a baby, that baby was meShe worked everyday still it wasn't enoughWorld was rough, ol' girl was toughDrop me off in the morningCome back and get me in the afternoonFree spirits lost being guided by the moonUsed to take me to church, try to make me a manBut hard times put drastic changes in planShe was out there, every time she got up, she fell againIn love with a bastard, stay in and out the penAlcoholic addict, never tried to change himselfBeat her to a pulp, and make her blame herselfI tried to talk to her, mama you don't have to stayJust pack your bags and go, you can walk awayShe tell me about this pain, hoping I'd never experience itBaby boy love is some serious shit, I pray for changeEventually it came, like rays of light after days of rainShe turned her life around, walked away never to returnStill tempted by the fire, just tired of being burned[Chorus x 2]She's a different kinda ladyShe's not often understood
