Part 6:Justified Without Being Notified

I'm glowing up more than ever before and but its because I retain, I believed, and I clarify myself that I have dignity without the negativity banging at my door

Just the urge to maintain a glimpse in my life

I'm sorry but today I'm gonna emerge, continue to realize that people can't put you down just because of the faith in your eyes

The strength of positivity is stronger than anything I have ever faced,

but I've understood about continuing with that

even when I haven't achieved the race

I'm satisfied to be here without feeling ashamed of who I stand

Or what society might say

I remember growing up in a place where you get looked down at by the cops

And you were always taught to be nice to someone even if not

Proceeding to be me is what I prefer but living together in a community

Where you would rather see another sister get verbally mishandle by words, I'm sorry,

I don't quite understand,

let me put this in better terms,

You would rather be a sacrifice to war than move towards peace, where can the positivity come into peak?

When the war is over what happens, everyone is deceased

Do you not see what I see when positivity doesn't come into peak?
