So he says he loves you, wants you to be his wife   But he's too hooked on the crack pipe for that to be right   It's all lies, none of it's true, though it hurts   You know what you gotta do, cut him loose like a dirty needle      You don't know where he's been   All I know is that I've seen him high when he says that he's clean   There was a gray patch when he first bust on the scene   But as the mystery unraveled, all became black and white   Know what I mean?      We can never be friends, he can go to hell   No more hanging 'round the house like a bad smell   Either he goes or I do, it's your decision, mama, it's all on you      You're too old to be naive and I know you ain't ignorant   That's what's botherin' me, ma 'cos you're goin' on different   And I ain't never seen you loved up like this before   Why's it everybody but you who can see that you deserve more?      Mama, can't you see what he's tryin' to do to you and to me?   Mama, it's so black and white   While you're sittin' at home he's out smokin' crack tonight   And I can't go for that, no, no can do   I can't go for that, can't for that, can't go for that      When I first met him, thought he was cool   Had a few things in common like supporting Arsenal   I saw the way he made you happy like a love fool   Coming down when times were hard up stressful      But all that don't matter to shit   When he starts acting like a little kid   Treating you as if you was some kind of bitch      Mama, you ain't rich but stills he borrows your money   And never pays you back   'Cus any penny he gets, he spends on that bad habit      Fuckin' takes the piss bringin' that slut in to our house   Is the ultimate diss   Now I know you threw him out for that   But how long is it gonna be before you take him back?   Mama, know you're lonely but you're the only      One who can't see that this bloke is a phoney   And he don't really care bout ya, mum   He just says he does 'cus he fuckin' thinks ya dumb      Mama, can't you see what he's tryin' to do to you and to me?   Mama, it's so black and white   While you're sittin' at home he's out smokin' crack tonight   And I can't go for that, no, no can do   I can't go for that, can't for that, can't go for that      ?My mama loves a crack head?   Is that what I'm supposed to tell my friends?   When they ask me how I'm doing, am I supposed to pretend?   Act like there's nothing's wrong when there blame there is   Turn the other cheek when he's takin' the piss      Fuck that that's not how the man of the house acts   I gotta defend my territory, guard my patch   When I know he's doing doggy shit behind your back   Put my foot down, stand my ground and that      This has got to stop whether the guy buns crack or not   His head ain't there he's fuckin' lost the plot   Dead and buried is the act phrase can't even act right   Can't even act his age that's so fuckin' lame   Thirty something years old, he should feel ashamed      If I was him, I'd slit my my veins at the mains   In a lukewarm bath and sit in it till my arteries drain   Do it right this time so I don't have to do it again   'Cos there's nothing more pathetic than a cry for help      Either you do or you don't, wanna kill ya self   Everybody knows you got a problem so it don't matter if you admit it   But what you gotta do is be a man 'n' fuckin' deal with it      I know the truth hurts, mama   But this shit gotta be said   He don't love you, he never has and that's a fact   The only thing he really loves in this world is crack      Mama, can't you see what he's tryin' to do to you and to me?   Mama, it's so black and white   While you're sittin' at home he's out smokin' crack tonight   And I can't go for that, no, no can do   I can't go for that, can't for that, can't go for that, no      I can't go for that, no, no can do   I can't go for that, can't for that, can't go for that, no   I can't go for that
