All That Glitters... (feat. Lady J, Cleo Dyson, and Lyrical Picasso)

You say they gotta be fire just for you to go out witem'
you wan sum1 Dat luks gud who makes YOU luk gud when you out witem'
I ain't speakin in riddles youngn' I'm keepin it simple
Cause you cheatin yourSELF when you choosin dimes over nickels...

Most ladies just want him to make her bak bend
From good to bad all the ladies rate him a solid 10,
Whateva happened to those days when ya love was ya bestfriend?
Talking bout wine me & dine me. You so used to the finer things
You say..."who cares bout the happily ever after; a good man two kids & a dog" dream,
You so worried bout showing off that diamond ring....

Your glow captures the image of selfish victories
Not knowing the essence of love & its precious melodies
For your songs climax at heartbreak because of your motives
Betrayal to a point for your true reasons with him weren't in focus...

So now you noticed, the diamond ring ain't all it's seems
it's just a pretty peice of rock, and you ain't fulfilled ya childhood dreams
that "good husband, a few kids, nice house and a dog" dream
You traded it all just for a guy with ice, who looks nice
and his body is tight, but he don't treat you right,
Is his physical beauty worth all the lonely nights?

so you sit there reminiscing about your life,
that appears to be a lie
you begin to think about all the times you
never got to look into those browns eyes
and say I love you,
and how many times he wasnt there
to tell you that you meant everything to him
Now you begin to truly think about how his love wasnt there
you caught a glmpse of that rock!
now followed by a blank stare
dang, do you even really care?

Your tears begin to fall...
After noticing those things really didn't matter at all
The ocean of Love crashes through your mind
You knew the bitter stories he told repeatedly were lies
Down on your knees...
chanting, asking God why
The man you once thought would complete you heart & bring you satisfaction wasn't in fact your kinda guy
you know you have to depart & began a new chapter in life

no longer wanting to be a doormat
for muddy sexy feet
knowing that a collage of scents had danced at
her door
she looks up with a smile, now glad to know she's not that person
anymore
she arises, no longer a forced feed gold digger
but as a whole new woman who finally sees the big picture.
