Bossed Up

Verse 1

I used to cry in that driveway

Watch him pull off in my car

Found a lipstick in the console

I knew exactly who you are

So I stopped cooking on Sundays

Stopped answering when you called

Took my babies out that house

And I never looked back at all

Pre-Chorus

Now the mornings feel softer

Now the bills get paid on time

I ain't checking nobody's phone

I ain't losing no more sleep at night

Chorus

I got my groove back

I got my peace back

A good man holding me down

And my kids ain't never going without

No I ain't looking backward

I'm too busy moving forward

Bossed up and standing tall

My life didn't stop

It started after you

Verse 2

Bought my daughter them pink cleats

My son got a brand new bike

Sunday dinners on the good plates

I finally like my life

And he rubs my back when I'm tired

Never raises his tone

He don't need to be reminded

That this woman is a throne

Pre-Chorus

So the silence feels like freedom

And the quiet feels like mine

I ain't begging nobody's pardon

I ain't running out of time

Chorus

I got my groove back

I got my peace back

A good man holding me down

And my kids ain't never going without

No I ain't looking backward

I'm too busy moving forward

Bossed up and standing tall

My life didn't stop

It started after you

Bridge

Thank you for the lesson

Thank you for the door

Thank you for the version

Of me I was before

Chorus

I got my groove back

I got my peace back

A good man holding me down

And my kids ain't never going without

No I ain't looking backward

I'm too busy moving forward

Bossed up and standing tall

My life didn't stop

It started after you

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh started after you

Ooh-ooh started after you

Better better better

Yeah I'm doing better
