The News for The Shop

"She slept with her man, and the girl came to find out and cut him and her up"

I glance at the other woman at the Beauty Shop
Mary nods at me for the fifth time
i know when i leave
They will say something about me

"Rick is single again, he never keep a woman"

The mole on Ms.Watson makes me sick
The more she talks, it moves
And now my throat is thick

"So, Beth pregnant again. This will be her fifth. Damn, she don't waste no time."

I allowed these woman to constantly look at me
They want me to leave so they can start on me
I pause my breath when Rhonda says my husbands name

"And let's not start on Zane-"

As the word of the day becomes of me
I allow myself to drown
My smiling face becomes a frown

She tries to say, it was a mistake
But I start to get up anyway
People start to run there mouth
And they say now they understand

How now I'm alone and i ain't got no man
How he cheated and then beated
And now i become the news for the shop
And that's all that they want
