"Secret Life"

from the outside looking in they appear

to be happy a boy a girl a mommy and

daddy but what goes on inside is what no

one sees daddy's never home and mommy's

left all alone she cooks and cleans and

takes care of the kids he never comes

home before 11 p.m. the kids are sad

because they think it's them because

daddy's never home and mommy's left all

alone his family loves him and they wish

he would show the love he shared with

them once years ago but what his family

don't know is that he is living on the

down-low

he leads a secret life and what this man

don't know is that Karma's a and

you reap what you sow they've been

married for two years tomorrow the joy

she once felt has now turned to sorrow

she hides it so well her friends don't

know

the former happy bride is now a

desperate housewife she hardly ever sees

him because he's always out with the

guys he runs the streets every day and

night deep down inside she knows

something ain't right

this former happy bride has become

broken inside anxiously waiting for him

to come home she craves the love she

received years ago but what this wife

don't know is that he's living on the

down-low he leads a secret life but what

this man don't know is that Karma's a

and you reap what you sow there's

nothing wrong with loving another man

just stop hurting your innocent family

and friends your life is your business

and who you love is two but just know

all the dirt you do will come back to

you sooner or later you will be exposed

you'll have to come clean with all the

lies that you've told you'll have to

deal with all the pain that you've

caused come face to face with the people

you've hurt and take responsibility for

the respect that you've lost so if

you're living on the down-low there's

one thing you should know karma is a

and you reap what you sow
