A Girl In A Nutshell

My Time (From Time Cover)

You said I needed to hear that shit cause it'll make me stronger..
I'm too sensitive for this world, I need to come harder..
Study the books & the streets, cause it'll make you smarter..
So you just threw me out there & said "It's just a starter"..
Honestly, it didn't really prepare me,
I did enough to get by just so a little could spare me,
Hard on myself for your expectations..
Expect the unexpected so you won't feel rejected..
Teach me how to love & then teach me patience..
I wanna do more but I'm procrastinating,
Sitting back thinking on the time I wasted..
I miss the old me, but that line is too basic.
Maybe,
I should take it back to the basics,
Too innocent for the world, I ain't know no better.
I need to be surrounded by money go-getters..
So, imma get it by myself & wrap these feelings in sweaters..
