Leave Her Alone
Mo B. Dick Lyrics

Yo Mo B., you ever seen a fallen angel?
Have you ever witnessed someone who was once full of grace and beauty become broken and damaged?

Well today I saw one.
Today, I witnessed a woman who has been hurt and abused.

It seems like the world's just not smiling on other days.
It appears that this woman's life is filled with constant hardship and sorrow.

Bruised up.
Physically harmed and marked by bruises.

To me, real men don't hit their women.
In my eyes, a true man would never resort to violence against a woman.

I guess to each his own.
I suppose everyone has their own beliefs and actions, even if I disagree with them.

This girl I'm talkin' bout.
The woman I am referring to in this conversation.

Somebody I wanted so bad when I was young.
Someone I desired greatly when I was younger.

I just want to let her know.
I simply want to inform her.

But you know when she ready to come home.
However, she will only return when she is prepared to do so.

She needs somebody to ease all her tears and her fears.
She requires someone who can comfort her and alleviate her sadness and worries.

I'm a be there.
I will be present and available for her.

I'm here, I'm here.
I am here for her, ready to support her.

Say boo it's kinda hard to see you with shades on and it's night time
Darling, it is difficult to perceive your true emotions when you hide behind sunglasses, even in the darkness.

You say he love you, buy you finer things in life
You claim that he loves you and provides you with luxurious possessions.

And all I think he love baby is fight time
But it seems that the only time he expresses love is during moments of conflict and violence.

Do you remember when we were young
Can you recall the time when we were both young?

I used to tell your mom, you know your daughter
I used to inform your mother about my feelings for you, emphasizing that you would become my wife and the mother of my child.

She gonna be my wife and have my son
I believed that you were destined to become my lifelong partner and bear my child.

So young and dumb still I'm dreamin
Despite our youthful ignorance, I am still fantasizing about a shared future.

To make love to ya and make your body hush
To intimately connect with you and bring you peace and comfort.

And even back then, you saw dollar signs
Even in those earlier days, you were captivated by material wealth and financial gain.

You know me, I wasn't workin' with much
You are aware that I did not possess a significant amount of money or resources.

Tryin' to survive this ghetto rush (fa sho)
Attempting to endure the harsh realities and challenges of life in the ghetto, without a doubt.

You want a ghetto superstar with fast cars
You desire a partner who embodies the image of a successful ghetto superstar, driving luxurious cars.

And all day shop at the shopping malls
Someone who can spend their entire day shopping at upscale malls.

I just wanted to write, to write our name on the walls
All I wanted was to express our love and commitment by leaving our mark on the walls of this place.

Sho welcome to come and see me ball
Certainly, you are welcome to witness my success and achievements.

Nowadays, I'm livin' do or die for this tank
In the present, I am living with an intense determination and willingness to risk everything for my success.

You come to me screamin' in pain
You approach me, screaming out in agony.

Balled up, tryin' to get up, but I know you can't
Crouched and attempting to rise, but I understand that you are unable to do so.

A real man don't bruise and bloody when he say he really love
An authentic man does not cause bruises and harm when expressing his love for another person.

That swollen face shouldn't be erased by diamonds, money, and fake hugs
Your swollen face should not be concealed or trivialized by material possessions, wealth, or insincere displays of affection.

I show tears, come on
I shed tears, please understand.

If you gonna beat her then you really don't need her
If you resort to violence against her, it indicates that you do not truly need her in your life.

So the thing you do is leave her, leave her alone
In that case, the best course of action is to leave her and refrain from causing further harm.

I'm sayin', hear me dawg
I'm trying to make you understand, listen to me, my friend.

I mean, you don't need her man, know what I'm sayin'?
I mean, you can live without her, do you comprehend my point?

Just go ahead and leave, man
Simply proceed with leaving her, my friend.

How many stitches and black eyes will it take for you to see
How much physical harm and visible injuries must occur until you finally realize?

I know love hurts but that's just mentally, not physically
I understand that love can be emotionally painful, but it should never result in physical harm.

You won't find a judge in me
I do not seek to pass judgment on you.

And I know right from wrong, call me on the phone
I possess the knowledge to distinguish between right and wrong, feel free to reach out to me for assistance.

I know somethings wrong cause in the background I hear the same sad songs
I can sense that something is amiss because I consistently hear melancholic music playing in the background.

Spoke to you both last night but now you fightin' at breakfast
I spoke to both of you last night, and now you are engaging in a fight during breakfast.

I guess the only time y'all get along is when you sweaty and naked
It appears that the only time you two have harmony in your relationship is during intimate moments.

A woman's supposed to be protected, but fool don't lash at your man
A woman should be shielded and safeguarded, but do not respond to your partner with violence.

I mean this world's hard for all of us, let's do as best as you can
I understand that life is challenging for everyone, so let's try our best to navigate through it.

Let a man be a man, girl do your thing
Allow a man to fulfill his role, and girl, pursue your own aspirations and desires.

You gotta love each other through weather, storms and heartache and pain
You must love and support each other during both joyful and difficult times, enduring storms and emotional distress.

Let's make it through down south torrents and rain
Let's successfully endure the challenges and hardships that come our way, just like weathering storms in the southern region.

You gotta apologize for all the stress
You need to express remorse for causing distress and anxiety.

And you gotta apologize for all the pain
Furthermore, you must apologize for inflicting pain and suffering.

I'm sorry
I sincerely apologize.

I see the tears fallin' from your eyes
I can observe tears streaming down your face.

Black sister, don't let this ghetto get ya
African American sister, do not allow the hardships of this neighborhood to overwhelm you.

Dry your eyes, pick your head up, let your man know you fed up
Stop crying, lift your spirits, and communicate your dissatisfaction with your partner.

Deal with this scum, you lookin' for bruises and bumps
Confront this despicable person, as you seem to anticipate encountering physical injuries.

Sister, stop bein' dumb, fallin' for lies to a smooth cat with a nice ride
My dear sister, cease being naive and falling for deceitful words from a charismatic man with an appealing car.

Hold on to your pride, open your eyes
Maintain your self-respect and awareness.

You got to nourish the body and mind
You must take care of both your physical and mental well-being.

And you'll see, you'll be free from all this crime
If you do so, you will discover true freedom, liberated from the harmful effects of this criminal environment.

Nothin' but hopes and dreams to my black queen
I have nothing but aspirations and dreams for my African American queen.

Remember, life ain't all what it seems
Always keep in mind that life is not always as it appears on the surface.

Mo B. D, tell 'em what I mean
Mo B. D, please convey the true essence of my words.

Woah Nelly, lemme holla at you for a little while
Hold on, let me speak to you for a brief moment.

Man, can't y'all see what's happenin' to us, man, over the years, man?
Folks, can't you perceive the negative impact on our lives as time goes on?

I mean, we've been tore apart, brother
Our relationships have been shattered, my fellow man.

You know, it started from man and woman
This division and conflict originated from the dynamics between men and women.

Ya know what I'm sayin'?
Do you understand what I am trying to express?

It's like Jerry Springer doin' his stuff, ya know what I'm sayin'?
These situations resemble the drama and chaos often witnessed on the Jerry Springer show, do you comprehend?

In the latter days, you know, we don't need all that
In this modern era, we should strive to avoid such destructive behavior.

That domestic violence, man
That act of violence within the home, my friend.

I mean, you know you got a sister or a momma or a niece
I assume you have a sister, mother, or niece whom you care about.

Or some you know some close female loved one
Perhaps there is a female relative or loved one who holds a special place in your heart.

To you know
To you, my friend.

It ain't no win situation when a man puttin' his hands on a woman
There is no scenario in which a man physically harming a woman can be considered a victory.

Man, how can you consider yourself a man, bro?
My friend, how can you maintain the belief that you are truly a man?

By puttin' your hands on a woman, bro
By resorting to violence against a woman, my friend.

You look at yourself in the mirror, alright
Take a good look at yourself in the mirror, okay?

And see if you can live with yourself, man
Evaluate whether you can live with the person you have become, my friend.

Just, just think on that, man
Simply reflect and contemplate upon this statement.

Adrian Barley, Odessa Poole, rest in peace
May Adrian Barley and Odessa Poole, who likely suffered from domestic violence, find peace in death.
