Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mom?
What's the matter, Jaz?
He did it again, he hit me
He did what, calm down, okay, calm down
I'ma kill him
Listen to me
I'ma kill him, I know I'ma kill him
Listen, get your stuff and come home
I can't come home, I'ma kill him, I'ma do it
[Verse 2]
I'm sitting contemplating is it worth it?
Should I take it, take that shot and change my life
Get that glock and take his life
Hospitals and bloody noses
This would end all, I suppose that I could leave
Knowing I can't leave
So it's either him or me
'Cause he gon' kill me if I stay, I know
Gon' kill me, he can't change, I know
From the first time that he did it
Made a promise that he'd quit it, shit
God, it's so much work, don't wanna end up in a hearse
I guess I gotta do it first, I guess I gotta do it first
[Verse 3]
I can't go back now, back now
I'm running, nowhere to go
Cops, I hear them coming
And if they catch me, I still ain't sorry
If that was wrong, just call me guilty
'Cause if you knew what he did to me
I know I would get your sympathy
So if they catch me, I still ain't sorry
Just lock me up and call me guilty, guilty
[Verse 4]
I did it, pulled the trigger, it wasn't so hard, go figure
Before I did it, I said, This was for all the blood I shed
For all the women who go through this shit
Can't think of what to do
This shit done tore them up inside and out
Who's still trying to get out
He's gon' kill you if you stay, you know
I been through this, so yes, I know
I know he promised that he'd quit it
If you believe him, girl, forget it, shit
You know I'm right, don't wanna see him take a life
And it will only just get worse
That's why I had to do it first
[Verse 5]
I can't go back now, back now
I'm running, nowhere to go
Cops, I hear them coming
And if they catch me, I still ain't sorry
If that was wrong, just call me guilty
'Cause if you knew what he did to me
I know I would get your sympathy
So if they catch me, I still ain't sorry
Just lock me up and call me guilty, guilty
[Verse 6]
It's so much blood, I grabbed my stuff
But before I could leave, the cops busted in
(You have the right to remain silent)
No, I have the right to stay alive, but guess what?
I'd do it again
He would have killed me before I killed him
It would have been him up in this building
It would have been him faking tears
But what's funny is that I'm the one standing here
[Verse 7]
I can't go back now, back now
I'm running, nowhere to go
Cops, I hear them coming
And if they catch me, I still ain't sorry
If that was wrong, just call me guilty
'Cause if you knew what he did to me
I know I would get your sympathy
So if they catch me, I still ain't sorry
Just lock me up and call me guilty, guilty
