I really don’t anymore

I be thinking I wanna get marry 

Until I peep shit 

It’s crazy something i used to want 

I no longer crave 

I don’t know what’s real no more 

I don’t know who really love me 

Who really here for me 

I’m so confused with this place we call life 

Everything that I once knew as a child is a lie 

None of us are you free 

Freedom don’t exist because everybody want you to be something you not 

Because they can’t beat you they try to dim your light 

They make up all these lies just to cover up the truth 

All my life I had to defend my character 

I had to prove that niggas I said rape me did 

I had to prove I didn’t do this or that 

Made calls to prove where I was where I was at who I was with 

For a very long time i was fighting for somebody to see me 

But not see the rape me 

Not the aggression me 

Not the short temper me 

I just wanted them to see what their actions was doing to me 

You point your finger and call me a demon 

Without even knowing my reasons 

Why I respond the way I do 

Why I’m closed off 

You called it a secret 

I call it private

All my life people wanted to change me 

They wanted to change how I look 

So they put makeup on me 

Dress me up & these ho’s clothes 

Put all types of weave in my hair 

They wanted to change my skin so they brought me stuff that would brighten my skin 

My nose was to big for me so they brought me cream idk what was the issue

Nobody understands what I went through 

Just to me TODAY IS EASY NOW BECAUSE YOU CANT CHANGE ME 

YOU CANT CONTROL

IM CONFIDENT IN WHO IAM 

I LOVE MY SKIN 

I LOVE MY BODY 

IM NOT FOR SELL 

IM NOT A ROBOT 

I have my own brain 

I’m wise 

I have wisdom 

I have god on my side 

With him I can do all things 

I have OVERCAME THIS PHASE TOO
