about

Life is all about give and take. At times I felt I gave more than I got and what I got wasn't worth the price, such is life

lyrics

Poppin' pussy & payin' paper is my purpose prepared
Purveyor of play? sure that's what I'm made for
Stay sore, break spine make time for those that won't take time
Waste mine. watch my waist line, diminish givin' more than
I'm gettin' poured no straight lines
No safe space away from fake faces disguised
As kind with no kind of consideration
Appreciation for my work my worth my great grind
Ethic just aesthetics & measurements
No baseline or credit it's unapologetic synthetic
Smiles that incline my skeptic mind in desperate times
To accept less than justified, just to survive
I just desire reciprocation for efforts not to get jerked
While waitin' for payment like,,, justice denied
Just a reply a return on my investment to get what I've earned
Not left behind & I'm tired of lettin' it slide
I'm sexy & I'm bestie til my tank is on empty
And I ain't gettin' no rides

Hook: Worth only what I let myself be used for,
What do I let myself be used for
What do I let myself be used to

They be like:
"Gimme gimme just to be with me, with me you'd be so pretty
not petty, you get me? Don't get me twisted. Forget you exist
unless you give it, parasitic, in this for what
I'm in this for, quit givin' and get the door, more
is all that's wanted, flaunt it, thought its all you could be
good to me, good for me? surely you're distorting pictures
thinking you're essential, indispensable whenever you dry up
I'll find another better you"
I be like:
"Take from me, take me, don't go away from me, don't hate me
keep me, need me, beseech me, just play with me
teach me games and reach for me, leech from me
I wanna be something to somebody" I got some fucked up psychology
problems, probably symbiosis psychosis fillin' roles like quotas
Co dependence, to get acceptance I let them receive from me
I see my need to feel complete reveals I'm weak
and wobbly playin' commodity like I don't merit better quality

Hook

I must be dumb or somethin' I trust em n need em
they leave me feelin' stupid used n mistreated
they won't repent I'll resent they'll defend I'll befriend again
when fences mend I'll end up lendin' rentin' sense of
friendship and value, how do I let them tell me what I amount to?
I give discounts to bosses, take losses for my labor
compensation ain't major but pays the cost of
existing exhausted in smaller spaces than I wanna stay in
when salty, complainin' nobody can take it and listen
all they offerin' is dick n balls I'm jaded and distant
don't wanna play this submissive position
exchange my gains for admittance to places I don't fit in
competitions ridiculous makes you be the viciousest
or get ripped at the ligaments by vigilant participants
while everybody witnesses a bunch of fuckin' hypocrites

about

Raggedy &?

Formerly known as LMNOP; Raggedy &? is like the drama class drop out who never found a place in the made up, glossed over, airbrushed, costumed school of hard shots where everyone is sexy and famous. Not made of plastic, Raggedy &? is made of fabric (and yarn and buttons n what not); a real throw back that makes you wanna go back to the days when things felt less phony. ... more
