Punching Bag
Unveiling Strength: Mama Magnolia's Empowering Anthem Against Insecurity
Lyrics
I see right through
I can see through your actions or intentions
You and your insecurity
You exhibit insecurity
But like a window pane streaked with rain
Your emotional state is like a window with rain streaks
Your tears aren't mine to wipe away
I won't take responsibility for comforting you when you cry
You think you got me on the ropes
You believe you have the upper hand
But I won't be your punching bag for blows
I refuse to be a target for your emotional attacks
Why are you scared of me?
Questioning why there is fear between us
That hiss and rattle is coming from you
Your negative emotions are emanating from yourself
You're blinded by the skin you can't shed
You are blinded by aspects of yourself that you can't change
A new self lies just underneath
A better version of yourself exists beneath the surface
You think you got me on the ropes
You still believe you have control
But I won't be your punching bag for blows
I won't let myself be a target for your emotional outbursts
If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Referencing the saying about the anger of a scorned woman
Then don't piss me off, and say that you weren't warned
Warning against provoking anger
You shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you good advice
Don't disrespect those who offer valuable advice
Aren't you tired of running
Expressing weariness about a repetitive situation
Round and round and round and round in a circle
Your repeated actions will catch up with you
You'll catch up to your tail soon enough
Continuing in a cycle will lead to self-destruction
You'll bark from your own bite
You'll face consequences from your own actions
Don't wanna tell you twice it's not my job
I won't repeatedly advise you; it's not my responsibility
To help you live your life
I won't guide or shape your life for you
So let's set the record straight
Let's clarify the situation
You have to shoulder all that weight
You need to bear the consequences of your actions
Cause I'm not your punching bag
I won't be a target for your emotional venting
