WINTER CARTWRIGHT

Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken / Soft Soul]
Yeah…
From the garden… to the streets…
Same story, different faces…
We was made from love…
So why we keep breaking it?
[Verse 1 – Storytelling]
Back in the garden when it all began,
God made a woman from the side of a man,
Not from his feet so he could walk on her name,
Not from his head, but right beside him the same,
Equal in purpose, divine in design,
But the serpent crept in, now we dealin’ with lies,
Now fast forward, different time, same sin,
Men still creepin’, let temptation win,
He got a queen at home, but he scrollin’ his phone,
Different women, different vibes, like he shop for his own,
No type, just a appetite, feedin’ his lust,
Say he love you in your face, but his loyalty dust,
Tell another woman “I’m leavin’, just wait,”
All game just to get her, now she caught in his fate,
And he smilin’ at his girl like he innocent still,
But deception in his heart, that’s a dangerous thrill…
[Hook – Melodic / Soulful]
Creepin’… in the night, think nobody see him,
Playin’ with hearts like it’s all just a season,
But God see it all, yeah He watchin’ your steps,
You can’t hide in the dark when your soul in debt,
Creepin’… different faces, different lies,
Call it love but it’s lust in disguise,
When a woman fed up, she gon’ walk away,
Now you cryin’ in the rain, wishin’ she would stay…
[Verse 2 – Deeper Message]
Now it’s one man, ten women, that’s the ratio,
But that don’t mean you treat love like it’s casual,
Women settlin’ low ‘cause they don’t see they worth,
Low self-esteem got ‘em feelin’ like a curse,
He see that pain, yeah he play on it quick,
Sayin’ all the right things just to get what he get,
Then he gone with his boys, late nights, no call,
While she cryin’ at home, starin’ holes in the wall,
Lonely nights turn to prayers on her knees,
Ask God, “Why he treat me like this, please?”
But God say, “Daughter, you deserve more,
You ain’t built to be broken, you royalty for sure,”
And yeah it hurts when your love ain’t returned,
When you gave him your all and got lies in return,
But pain turn to power when you finally see,
You ain’t gotta stay stuck, you can choose to be free…
[Hook – Stronger]
Creepin’… in the night, think nobody see him,
Playin’ with hearts like it’s all just a season,
But God see it all, yeah He watchin’ your steps,
You can’t hide in the dark when your soul in debt,
Creepin’… different faces, different lies,
Call it love but it’s lust in disguise,
When a woman fed up, she gon’ walk away,
Now you cryin’ in the rain, wishin’ she would stay…
[Verse 3 – Consequences / Spiritual Tone]
Flood came once, yeah the world got wiped,
God said “Do better,” but we still don’t write,
Still don’t listen, still livin’ in sin,
Chasin’ quick pleasure, but losin’ within,
Judgment day comin’, you can’t escape truth,
Every lie you told comin’ back to you,
Devil don’t want love, he divide and break,
Got you thinkin’ it’s a game, but your soul at stake,
And a man push his woman right into another’s arms,
Then act sorry when he see she movin’ on,
Tryna pull her back with the same old lies,
But she done woke up, she done opened her eyes,
Now she prayin’, now she healin’, now she walkin’ away,
Know her worth, ain’t no more games to play,
And when a woman love hard, yeah she love real deep,
But don’t mistake that love, she ain’t yours to keep…
[Bridge – Emotional / Sung]
Ohhhh…
Don’t be afraid to walk away…
God gon’ heal every wound one day…
Everything got an end, that’s truth…
So don’t lose yourself tryna love what’s not for you…
[Final Hook – Big Finish / Head Banger Beat Drop]
Creepin’… now the truth exposed,
All them secrets finally unfold,
You was playin’, now you pay the cost,
Real love ain’t somethin’ to be lost,
Creepin’… now you all alone,
Empty house but it ain’t no home,
She done left, now you feel that pain,
Standin’ in the storm, cryin’ in the rain…
[Outro – Spoken]
Yeah…
When you know better… you do better…
And queens…
Stop settlin’.
God got more for you.
