The Vow - Ivy Sole

Feeling like the mack that my mama raised

Getting lifted like her hands giving up all the praise

Cutting corners never been the way I operate

Part prolific part terrific when I conversate

Every shorty that I know been contemplating stripping

And every time they talk about it, I start feeling different

The more they violate the more they end up tippin' so

These girls they got degrees, you’d think they trippin' slow

But it’s a sick sad world and we got debts to pay

We’re just lucky we ain’t got no kids to raise

Not just yet, not just yet

Too busy risking it all for respect, chasing ass and these checks

Pretending we ain’t got no regrets

Driving down sunset on my way the ford

Tryna figure if home is still my my home anymore

Ain’t got the answers to the questions at hand

But I’m mastering the art of executing the plan

This is something old and something new

This is something borrowed something blue

My homey say my flow got a ring to it

My vows saying Imma give my everything to it

I made a fatal mistake hopped on facbook got hit with save the dates

My homeys having tikes getting married or engaged

I’m barely dating, but I’m booking flights for shows in my head

Dreaming dreams of greeting fans and showing them love instead

When it was velcro shoes in place of laces, before the braces prior to priors

in the cases that my homeys facing

I wanted a husband, a dog, a spot on the PTA

Soccer mom with a body to slay, oh my how times have changed me

Let anxiety cage me

I tried to explain it to my mom but she’s too busy pacing the floor with worry

mounting on her tryna kill her patience, it’s money going everywhere since last

December when she was a patient

So she’s got bigger concerns, but her priority is me

And all she wnats is for me to succeed

I guess I’ve always had some type of fear of commitment

I’m 22 with shit to lose, show me a nigga who isn’t
