You see me, you lean in close
One breath, then the flood starts flowing
You ask like you got a claim
Like my life is your scoreboard
Where’s your mama?
What are you having for dinner?
Where are your kids?
How old are you, now?
Slow down
Hands off my story
You don’t get all my pages
Just because you’re curious
Where’s your mama?
Not your business
What I’m eating?
Not your business
Where are your kids?
Not your business
Who is your boyfriend?
Not your business
You keep stacking questions high
Like I owe you the answers
Why don’t you have kids?
Who gave you that right?
You smile like it’s friendly talk
But it lands like a paper cut
How old are you
Why do you need to know?
Who is your boyfriend
Why can’t you let it go?
Slow down
Hands off my story
You don’t get all my pages
Just because you’re curious
Where’s your mama?
Not your business
What I’m eating?
Not your business
Where are your kids?
Not your business
Who is your boyfriend?
Not your business
I am not a puzzle
You can solve at the table
I am not a headline
You can pull apart for fun
I can love my life
Without your audit
I can keep my peace
And keep moving on
Where’s your mama?
Not your business
What I’m eating?
Not your business
Where are your kids?
Not your business
Who is your boyfriend?
Not your business
Ask better
Or ask less
Ask better
Or ask less
