I worked on a new song. It totally has an R&B feel but, it was nice to get back into things.

Shooda Cooda Wooda performed as Joy Lynn

Shoulda Cooda Wooda cause I might have if it wasn’t for
With a sad story, is that your excuse?
I bullshit you not, I’m sorry that happened to you
Shooda Cooda Wooda cause I might have if it wasn’t for
With a sad story, is that your excuse?
I bullshit you not, I’m sorry that happened to you
Maybe you need the phone book
Or do a search on something
I bullshit you not, I don’t even have the time
My bad I didn’t tell you before
Look man I got to go
Good luck with all that shit
It’ll work itself out

You full of shit and I’m short on time
I can’t give you a ride
You can’t use my phone
And I got no gas money
You can’t come to my home
I’m sorry bout your kids
Sorry you aint got no gift
Cause right now I’ve got to go
What will you do, I don’t know
And I ain’t got a couple dollars
Good luck with that I’ll holler

Shoulda coulda woulda cause I might have if it wasn’t for
With a sad story, is that your excuse?
I bullshit you not, I’m sorry that happened to you
Shoulda coulda woulda cause I might have if it wasn’t for
With a sad story, is that your excuse?
I bullshit you not, I’m sorry that happened to you

How do I explain?
If you didn’t know you better ask somebody else
This convo is going nowhere fast
My fault, my bad
You should get yourself checked out
You should tell your family
I think they got an app for that but it’s not on me
Let me lock all the doors
Roll these windows up
Crank my radio cause I don’t give a fuck
You gave me lots of reasons
That I can’t hear
Stuck on my bass
I can’t even keep a straight face
What the fuck you just say
I don’t need no keychain
I don’t need no jean nate
Shooda Cooda Wooda
Try to sell me shit I hate

Shooda Cooda Wooda cause I might have if it wasn’t for
With a sad story, is that your excuse?
I bullshit you not, I’m sorry that happened to you
Shooda Cooda Wooda cause I might have if it wasn’t for
With a sad story, is that your excuse?
I bullshit you not, I’m sorry that happened to you

Shooda Cooda Wooda cause I might have if it wasn’t for
With a sad story, is that your excuse?
I bullshit you not, I’m sorry that happened to you
Shooda Cooda Wooda cause I might have if it wasn’t for
With a sad story, is that your excuse?
I bullshit you not, I’m sorry that happened to you

We can’t work nothing out, I got to go
Can’t believe I stayed this long
I should run yo ass over
Don’t clean my glass
but thank you anyway
wish I could help you out
but I aint got it today

I am looking at my clock cause it’s getting late
And shoulda coulda woulda wanna demonstrate
The fact that they could do some work
Even though they was having all these issues first
Giving me sorrow and needing to borrow
To selling me shit that I don’t wanna get
Now you doing some chores
And I’m taking the score
Cause you’ll do anything to get something more
