" I rise strong, black, and excellent ..

no man or woman can mess with it

don't give a damn who's impressed with it, sh*t some can't even truly attest to it

Some might even be upset with it,
I don't care

but let me set the record straight just so we're clear

I'm very aware of this imperfection and I mean layer by layer .. Mhm I mean hair by hair

you don't understand that's why you're looking at
me like that or maybe you just don't care ..

Baby you stopped to listen, now sit continue to stare and watch my skin glisten..

That got your attention

Let me explain..

This is something I took the time to learn

I was in the streets cold and alone, nobody really to teach me right from wrong

My biggest problem now was that my mom was gone

And I had to figure life out on my own

I didn't just land here, this strength I had to earn

No longer will I wait and be some fools bait

I done been through hell and back

I'm feeling like it's my turn

Oh yeah you sleep and think I don't peep

Well my wings are open wide and I'm ready to leap..

soar, and learn so much more

..Still sleep well baby
Maybe just maybe

When you open your eyes maybe you'll see exactly what I see in my mirror looking back at me a
