Truth Video (MV)

I just gotta tell the truth
I deserve better than this

Why don't you take the time? Chop it up and let's talk for a minute
Cause I deserve someone to guard my heart and defend it
No matter what them people say Imma get it anyway
But if I pour my feelings out then you cannot dismiss it
Cause I deserve better than a Black and Mild
And I deserve better than once in awhile
You best count your blessings up and make amends
Or you can bag my digits up and hand them to your friends
Why do they respect me more than you do
Tell me who are you to have me all twisted up like this
Boy, do you comprehend my value
Knowing is half the battle
I promise you that this here you gone miss
Because I'm a strong woman
To the bone woman
I'm digging you enough to sing a song woman
No disrespect but I'll be gone woman
Cause if you're with them games you got the wrong woman

Many men be checking for me
And many men wish they could own me
I deserve better. I deserve better
And many times we've danced the same dance
Many times I've given this a chance
I deserve better. I deserve better

Why you disturbing me
Can't keep on hurting me
The way you steady acting up, you ain't deserving me
Got the nerve to be jealous when dudes flirt with me
I guess yo mama didn't teach you common curtesy
But all respect to your mother
You should've chose another
I ain't the one or the two to entertain a sorry brother
You can sit that on your dresser
Women like me bring some pressure
And top notch men get the most not the lesser
Jesus, please keep Your hands on my life
Remove anybody that won't do me right
Cause I'm fighting to keep my sanity with all my might
Cause I know I walk by faith and not by sight
If I'm with You. I can't lose
You got something waiting just for me
I deserve to be loved
I can't settle just for anything

Many men be checking for me
And many men wish they could own me
I deserve better. I deserve better
And many times we've danced the same dance
Many times I've given this a chance
I deserve better. I deserve better

Gave him your love, your time, your energy, so he could go and gamble that
Express your emotions to him and he can't even handle that
He takes it all and gives you none. You know he ain't deserving you
Commitment is not on his mind. He's really just reserving you
The nerve of you to build him and hurt yourself in the process
He holds you back. You hold him down so you making no progress
He don't wanna see you win. He just wanna cage you in
Got you hurt. Do you know your worth
You curving so many men
Insecure
Everywhere you go you turn heads
You more than just a pretty face and opened legs
If he ain't willing to put in the work to make it last
You should think about your future and just leave him in the past
You gone succeed or you gone keep letting him use you
He'll never know just what he had until he lose you
He gone look back on this one day and know that he messed up
Cause you had the best love for him

Many men be checking for me
And many men wish they could own me
I deserve better. I deserve better
And many times we've danced the same dance
Many times I've given this a chance
I deserve better. I deserve better

I know you can't stand another man
Having every single thing you could've had
I deserve better
