i was born with a man on my back
mom's brother was next to attack
along the way love's added their weight,
burdens straped upon my back.
you only get what you pay for
i never paid for pain,
never asked for being insane
i never asked for the men on my back,
six men walking on my back.
these things i never wanted,
i never needed
these men i thought i wanted,
thought they would want me
now they're the six men walking on my back
daddy's trappling on my back,
uncle and lover's breaking my back
never thought it would happen
with six men walking on my back
