One Drop - Sorry Excuse by One Drop lyrics

I'm lying in bed With my tenny-shoes on So I can run for help Cause tonight it's going down He's been drinking all day And claims he can't find any work Like a time bomb set by the liquor Somebody's bound to get hurt It starts off with name calls and cursing He breaks her down with low self-esteem Once the bottles empty things start to worsen From the bedroom I can hear them both scream Accusations about one cheating on the other A sorry excuse for a man Through the crack of the door I can see him Smack her with the back of his hands I hop out the back window And I'm running just as fast as I can To the payphone at the liquor store So I can call the police man Operator, operator an emergency Send me an ambulance Cause my mom is getting beaten as I'm speaking And I don't know how much time she has I run back to an eerie cold silence As I walk through the door I take a step sadly notice Momma lying on the kitchen floor Face first still breathing badly beaten As the blood drips straight from her chin When I was running for some help he beat her with a dumbbell The kind that you find at the gym I wrap a towel around her head And I hold her close in my lap All around us is broken gla** And the sofa's lying on its back He returns as the cops show up And they take his sorry a** to jail She recovers with her stitches and forgives him And she even helps post his bail You'd think she would learn a little lesson And decide that its time to move on But when its time for subpoena she pretends that There's no body home He say's he's sorry for the trouble The abuse in the past is all done But I pay no attention cause he's drinking And I go to bed with my shoes on .
