raise no fool

i'm wearing rose tinted shades but

all i see is shades of

my imagination covered in red

a crooked smile and some fake love

put me in these handcuffs

threw away the keys cause

i was a threat

well

first you try to tell me we're family

then you try to tell me that it's for the best

you promise that you'll be there if i need ya

but i don't need your handout

you can take it back

i won't be used

my momma didn't raise no fool

won't let you leave me hangin'

so cut me loose

my momma didn't raise no fool

won't let you leave me hangin' no more

i got a pain in my back bone

where'd you get that knife from?

why the hell is it so covered in red?

i let you walk into my home

let you make it your own

you tried to tear it down and leave me for dead

well

first you try to tell me we're family

then you try to tell me that it's for the best

you promise that you'll be there if i need ya

but i don't need your handout

you can take it back

i won't be used

my momma didn't raise no fool

won't let you leave me hangin'

so cut me loose

my momma didn't raise no fool

won't let you leave me hangin' no more

ladies and gentlemen

if you're sick of being disrespected

let me hear you sing it

go

i don't wanna feel like my money that you're spendin'

no i don't wanna feel like i'm losing cause you're winnin' baby

i don't wanna feel like my money that you're spendin'

no i don't wanna feel like i'm losing cause you're winnin'

i won't be used

my momma didn't raise no fool

won't let you leave me hangin'

so cut me loose

my momma didn't raise no fool

won't let you leave me hangin' no more
