Cause that's the only way I was gonna survive as your wife.

And wherever you was going.I wanted to be there with you. And upstairs in that room.with the darkness falling in on me.I gave everything I had to try and erase the doubt that you wasn't the fines man in the world. Every part of me I could find to give you. And it didn't take me not eighteen years to find out the soil was hard and rocky and it wasn't never gonna bloom. I planted myself inside you and waited to bloom. I planted a seed and watched and prayed over it. I took all my feelings, my wants and needs, my dreams.and I buried them inside you. Don't you think it ever crossed my mind to want to know other men? That I wanted to lay up somewhere and forget about my responsibilities? That I wanted someone to make me laugh so I could feel good? You not the only one who's got wants and needs.

Not ‘cause I like you! Cause it’s my duty to take care of you. You live in my house… sleep on my bed clothes…fill you belly up with my food… cause you my son. It’s my RESPONSIBILITY! You understand that? A man got to take care of his family.

“Like you? I go out of here every morning… bust my butt…putting up with them crackers everyday…cause I like you? You about the biggest fool I ever saw.
