Chapter Text
Sarah Pelham :
You never do anything around this house.
Better wash those dishes, better watch that mouth.
Getting those grades up is what you're about to do.
Crystal Pelham :
Okay, mom!
Sarah :
Girl, don't get an attitude.
You are so lazy, always on that couch.
I brought you in this world, I can take you right out.
You've got time to clean this house if you've got time to check your phone.
Crystal :
Alright mom, I got it!
Sarah :
Don't give me that tone.
Everything you have is what I've gave to you.
All the cash you have is what I've paid to you.
Now go clean your room, I'm not a maid to you.
I don't want to hear you complaining too, you're selfish.
Never want to do a thing, you're helpless.
Can't make a living off of taking all those selfies.
Get up off that phone, using that thing isn't healthy.
Anything you wanna tell your followers, come tell me.
I know you're not failing a class.
You focus on those boys, but can't focus on your task?
Crystal :
Mom, this is Calc, it's really hard to pass.
Sarah :
I bet that you could do it if you didn't give me sass.
Next time, sit and pay attention.
I don't want to see you go and serve detention.
How're you gonna graduate and get a job and pension,
If you can't even learn to answer one Calc question?
Crystal :
Can you even do it?
Sarah :
That's not important.
I wanna know why this house is looking like a forest.
I asked one task then you say "I forgot".
Crystal :
You said clean the whole house.
Sarah :
That's not even a lot!
Look at this mess, you better clean this room.
Get those chores done, this is your house too
I don't care who made this mess, you're gonna clean it, that's that.
Crystal :
Alright mom, relax!
Sarah :
Young lady, don't be talking back!
You're so ungrateful, you never wanna listen.
Too young to go out, but old enough to clean dishes.
If your grades aren't A's, I'm takin that cellphone.
Crystal :
What? Mom, why?
Sarah :
Because I said so.
Better wash the grass, and you better sweep the roof too.
Crystal :
That doesn't make sense.
Sarah :
You do what I tell you.
Talking like you're grown, if you'd clean I wouldn't nag.
If you've got an attitude, you can go and pack your bag.
You always wanna sit around but never want to help me.
Better take care of the trash and stop taking a selfie.
Can't even finish doing one simple task.
Crystal :
You never said to do that.
Sarah :
I shouldn't have to ask!
● while teaching Crystal how to drive ●
Sarah :
Slow way down.
Going so fast 'bouta kill me or 'bouta make me have a breakdown.
Better hit the brake now.
Crystal :
We're not even moving.
Sarah :
Don't talk to me, the road is what you should be viewing.
Driving all crazy, what point are you proving?
'Bouta hurt yourself you clearly don't know what you're doing.
Crystal :
I passed my test, didn't even try hard.
Sarah :
Even if you've got it, you're not driving my car.
Crystal :
That's not fair!
Sarah :
Do I look like I care?
I'm being nice but you want warfare?
Given the fact that I gave you your life,
And a bed for the night are you really gon' dare?
Let me answer that: No. Girl, listen to the flow.
I'm way on top and you're down below.
Making a scene, girl this isn't a show.
Don't like my rules? You can walk out the door.
Got all F's and you wonder why I'm mad at you.
Doing what you want instead of doing what you have to do.
Grades so low, I can tell that you're slacking through.
Crystal :
I have one B.
Sarah :
B's are really bad for you.
You need to find a job.
Always needing money, I'm the one you're trying to rob.
While you either sit at home or stay on that phone.
Or stay tryna hang out with the girls .
Girl, those girls won't pay these bills.
So don't be acting like you're chilling in Beverly Hills.
Hardworking woman, that's what you need to learn to be.
Before you spend your whole life sweeping up at Burger King.
Sarah :
Come down stairs, I need your help.
Get the remote.
Crystal :
You can't get it yourself?
Sarah :
Oh here we go. You don't ever obey.
Crystal :
It's right there, its like two feet away.
Sarah :
Girl I don't play, I've been out here working hard all day.
Acting all grumpy like today is Monday.
Girl you better listen to what I say.
So whatchu 'bouta do? Go and clean your room.
Clean mine too, 'cause your grandma's coming through.
Crystal :
Can you do it? I have work I have to do
Whatchu looking for?
Sarah :
Who you think you're talking to?
● after being late for the first time ●
Sarah :
I'm not made of money, always asking for some cash.
Carried you for nine months, you can carry out the trash.
You never want to come back home by curfew(get the belt).
Crystal :
Mom, wait!
Sarah :
This hurts me more than it hurts you.
