A Woman Hung Up

[Intro]

Let me tell you about my story

How I came from dirt to glory

How I went against the odds

When the world is weighing on me

When all I had was me

Didn’t know what I would be

I’m Okinawa’s finest with a

Dollar and a dream

Dollar and a dream

Dollar and a dream

I’m Okinawa’s finest with a

[Verse 1]

I had a dollar and a dream

Only 19 landed in America

All I heard was Ching Ching

Ran through the mud I

Had to learn to love the hard way

Me and the God on highway

We swerving making stops at

Big Wheeze’s trailer

Shit smells like cat piss and

9 lives’ worth of tales

Fresh paint on my nails

He made me

Count his dirty dollars for the re-ups

Thеn go to galleria

We blowing all the shit up

First wе were cool

You took me to school

Then the love grew

Then I was your earth

You planted your seed

A flower would bloom

Peace earth you smiled and you

Passed me your Blicky

I rode solo to county and clinics

I see you at the visits

Baby bump on the plexiglass

MoneyGram to the commissary

Lonely nights get kind of scary

And I told that PO that

Baby needs their daddy back

“He will change for the better”

Knowing that’s a lie, I will testify

[Chorus]

I’ve been putting on for mine

Every step I take

Been through many highs and lows

But I will never break

Heart of a lion

This love won't fade away

Keep on chasing brighter days

Don’t know what’s ahead of me

But staying 10 toes down

Ready for the rain

Heart of a lion

This love won’t fade away

Keep on chasing brighter days

[Verse 2]

I put my family over dollar

Traded the benz for the toyota

Shit got too hot

We had to pack and move out of Georgia

W.I.C. for my daughter

Time’s getting hard

And I caught your ass cheating

Got me fighting in the yard

I be the crazy asian bitch in the fam

Your mama knows

Cuzn had to full nelson me

Put me back inside the door

I cried and cried

But I still forgave you after all

You the only one I loved through it all

And I hated that the world

Was always trying to put you down

Shooting at us like

Paw paw paw paw paw paw paw paw paw

Bullets through the fucking window

Promise not to leave me a young widow

Even through all these bullshits

You always was my hero

You can’t leave us

When you know we need your fire

You said you love me to death

Then you gotta live, you liar

Toyomi asked me when her

Daddy coming back

And I gotta tell her the truth

Cause you always told me that

[Chorus]

I’ve been putting on for mine

Every step I take

Been through many high and low

But I never break

Heart of a lion

This love won't fade away

Keep on chasing brighter…

Remember?

All the letters you wrote me

You told me

To keep writing I gotta tell the

Whole world my story

You always was my biggest fan

I dedicate my pen

And I promised my daughter

I’ll be the biggest in Japan

[Outro]

I’ve been putting on for mine

Every step I take

Been through many high and low

But I never break

Heart of a lion

This love won't fade away

Keep on chasing brighter days

Don’t know what’s ahead of me

But staying 10 toes down

Ready for the rain

Heart of a lion

This love won’t fade away

Keep on chasing brighter days

I’m Okinawa’s finest with a

Dollar and a dream

Dollar and a dream

Dollar and a dream

I’m Okinawa’s finest with a
