[Verse 1]
[Dm]If I[Am] told[Dm] you I wanted
to talk to [Am]you,
You think I'm try'na holla at [Dm]you,
And maybe I am but,
[Am]You wouldn't hear me out anyways
would [F]you? [C],[Dm]
Rather lose love than to move [Am]on
never knowing what it feel like,
[Dm]Short days, long nights,
[Am]By the phone, no call,
[Dm]Need a clear mind 'cau[Am]se I been
blind,got me goin' down that road,
[F]Heart made of stone,
Far away from [C]home,
Black woman you cold,
[Dm]Every problem you ever had
[Am]with another man I gotta face,
[Dm]Started off on thin ice,
[Am]I'm still here but I can't skate,
[Dm]Slow sink, [Am]can't breath,
no remorse, don't think,
[F]Listen to your friend get another
[C]man for a minute then [Dm]repeat,
Queen, [Am]you deserve the title
But [Dm]she rejects what I give,
While [Am]she nurse the wounds by them,
[Dm]Tried them, didn't work,
[Am]Got impossible standards,
[F]Nothing I'm a do is gon' work,
[C]Diary of a black girl,

[Verse 2]
[Dm]I wonder why I s[Am]it and cry,
[Dm]Wish I could shed all these [Am]tears,
I'm down [Dm]and out,
[Am]I'll keep on moving and [F]tryna get out[C],
I don't know [Dm]how to move on,
[Am]Where I went wrong,
I [Dm]wish I could live with no [Am]fear,
So down an[Dm]d out,
[Am]I'll keep it moving and [F]tryna get out[C],
[G]Somehow,

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Raised by a momma who, who,
[Am]Hates her baby father so, so
[Dm]She don't have a problem with, with,
[Am]Saying fuck a nigga Quick, quick,
[Dm]I'm just tryna be the one
who never [Am]run,
But you run away from me,
[F]Girlfriends man cheat, cheat,
[C]Why not me [Dm]the same thing,
She can't see [Am]in me, what I see in her,
[Dm]This pain she inhe[Am]rit
can't be reversed,
[Dm]I can't even stay living in the shad[Am]e
Of all the motherfuckers who played [F]you,
The irony in that is that I ain't even [C]that,
But you put in [Dm]these pages,
Wife, [Am]you deserve the label
But, but, [Dm]you been hurt before
so you [Am]don't feel your able,
[Dm]Tried them [Am]didn't work,
got impossible standards,
[F]Nothing that I eve[Dm]r do works,
[C]Diary of a black girl,

[Verse 4]
[Dm]I wonder why I s[Am]it and cry,
[Dm]Wish I could shed all these [Am]tears,
I'm down an[Dm]d out,
[Am]I'll keep on moving and [F]tryna get out[C],
I don't know [Dm]how to move on,
[Am]Where I went wrong,
I [Dm]wish I could live with no [Am]fear,
So down an[Dm]d out,
[Am]I'll keep it moving and [F]tryna get out[C],

[Verse 5]
Somehow,
[Dm]See all I wanna do is be relevan[Am]t,
Just tell me that I ever
[Dm]meant anything more,
That you could ever see [Am]me and
you in another light,
[Dm]But its like the dark women indoors
in the darkest [Am]nights by the wrong man,
See [Dm]all of them have made you
incapable of a [C]first impression,
What it do [Dm]is I channel my
aggression with [Am]no cable or antenna,
Just [Dm]intentions to impress
you if cap[Am]able,
Hoping that the [Dm]material possessions
can materialize to a bet[Am]ter you,
[Dm]Cars, nothing I [Am]drive can drive
[C]you out of this frame of mind,
For such an ugly picture [Dm]and,
Money, [Am]nothing I buy can
buy more time
[Dm]For your ears to tell your heart to listen [Am]to it,
Diamonds, [Dm]a girl's best
friend is what they say
[Am]But believe me with the right allegiance
[F]shorty you gonna shine anyways,
[C]And everyday that goes by [Dm]is a couple
more lines in her diary,
[Am]The day before is better than the present,
[Dm]So anyone presented in her presence
en[Am]dures these life sentences,
[Dm]There's no key for release,
[Am]No reason to be around,
Her minds in the clouds,
[C]She writes it all [Am]down,
In [Dm]her diary,

[Verse 6]
I wonder why [Am]I sit and cry,
[Dm]Wish I could shed all [Am]these tears,
I'm down and [Dm]out,
[Am]I'll keep on moving and [F]tryna get out[C],
I don't know [Dm]how to move on,
[Am]Where I went wrong,
I [Dm]wish I could live with no [Am]fear,
So down and [Dm]out,
[Am]I'll keep it moving and [F]tryna get out[C],

[Outro 1]
