Virtue Around You
Got no curfew
Got no virtue
Virtue be for other girls
Virtue be for girls with dads
Dads be buggin
Dads mean well though
Though I got one out there
Though i do not need one
One is the strongest number
One is all you need
Need no one
Need nothing from nobody
Nobody love you like yourself
Nobody hurt you like your man
Man that hurt like hell
Man that man was mean
Mean like winter comin
Mean like summer leavin
Leavin stay gone then
Leavin dont come back
Backbone game strong though
Backhand game strong too
Too much hurt
Too little patience
Patience is a virtue
Patience dont live here
Here I am on my own
Here I am not that grown
Grown love i have known
Grown men I have loved
Loved and got left
Loved and got hurt
Hurt like tough love
Hurt like truth
Truth is a virtue
Truth be hard to say
Say it anyway
Say it
It is what it is
It be what it be
Be like me
Be all you need
Need no one
Need nobody
Nobody never stay noway
Nobody got you like you
You worthwhile
You worthful
Worthful
Worthwhile
