"Black Angel" lyrics
(feat. Jeff Jones)
Nights full of fears, eyes full of tears
'Cause you been hearing the same lies for 5 years
Fresh out of high school he pursued his career
And you played the house wife roll for dude and his kids
But now you can't get a break no matter how hard you try
Your life's on the line every time you start up the ride
'Cause you never got your Ls but it's hard not to drive
When your baby got a cold and the car is outside
Plus the hospital is far and your dude ran out on ya
Just because he said that you had a mouth on ya
Because you would scream and holler
When he walk up in the room with Maybelline up on his collar
And he didn't even bother to consider his child
He said he'd always be around but what's so different now?
You stressing now 'cause you can figure it out
But keep your head in the clouds, girl
Continue to smile, girl
'Cause, baby, you are a
Black angel. Oh baby you are so fly
Black angel. Girl don't let him hold you down
Get up and just spread your wings and fly
Black angel
He swept you off your feet when you met it was love at first sight
He didn't even curse, said he was the Church type
Was almost Mr. Right until your first fight
And you found out he was worse than Ike
'Cause he hit you in the face so hard that it hurt to bite
Now your uncertain of this person you liked
But you keep making excuses
For him being abusive
'Cause you want it to work this time
So you convince your mind that it fine
But in time you're gonna find
That real love ain't defined with violence
And if you're crying every night
Just 'cause some guy decided it's alright
To hit you in the eye then it's time
That you learn from the mistakes
Of those that chose to stay
'Cause most of 'em are gone today
And there's a gang of sisters
That would probably still be with us
If they would've just flown away
Ne-Yo gone and sang
You're fly
Black angel. Oh baby you are so fly
Black angel. Girl don't let him hold you down
Get up and just spread your wings and fly
Black angel
You're my black angel. Oh baby you are so fly
Black angel. Girl don't let him hold you down
Get up and just spread your wings and fly
Black angel
Baby girl stop depending on your man for love
And start depending on the man above
Stop depending on your man for love
And start depending on the man above
Stop depending on your man for love
And start depending on the man above
'Cause at the end of the day
Ain't nobody to understand your love
Like the man above
Just fly
You're my black angel. Oh baby you are so fly
Black angel. Girl don't let him hold you down
Get up and just spread your wings and fly
Black angel
'Cause you been hearing the same lies for 5 years
Fresh out of high school he pursued his career
And you played the house wife roll for dude and his kids
But now you can't get a break no matter how hard you try
Your life's on the line every time you start up the ride
'Cause you never got your Ls but it's hard not to drive

Plus the hospital is far and your dude ran out on ya
Just because he said that you had a mouth on ya
Because you would scream and holler

You stressing now 'cause you can figure it out
But keep your head in the clouds, girl

Baby girl stop depending on your man for love
And start depending on the man above
Stop depending on your man for love
And start depending on the man above
Stop depending on your man for love
And start depending on the man above
'Cause at the end of the day
Ain't nobody to understand your love

Just fly
You're my black angel. Oh baby you are so fly
Black angel. Girl don't let him hold you down
Get up and just spread your wings and fly
