Oh, you got it all figured out?

She writes the screams in her head.

You say cause she’s insane someone better call the feds.

When truth is, that’s a shield:

A shield from the pain, a shield from the guilt, a shield from the torment,

Just to keep from going upside yo head.

You see,

She was born with the gift but her mother cultivated this gift.

Started out as a baby,

Now that baby has a baby.

That talent has power!

Not just because of the things that was hidden,

But now those hidden battles that were going on inside her head are conquered!

Because of you and your lies, your constant torment which made her shame?

Maybe, but most of all cause she choose to live.

No longer the same, No longer will she live in shame!

Not even the same kind of pain because that baby got shot.

Yeah, that baby got shot.

Thank you mama cause my baby got shot with a needle and I hollered forget it.

You gave me a tablet and you said yeah forget it.

So I wrote it.

Who would have ever known?

My power comes through a pen, bleeding through my veins, after, a series of understatements and build ups just to forget.

Now I actually like forgetting.

My little story means a lot only cause you cultivated it ma,

cultivated into so much more than I ever imagined.

I use to look at you and think you were crazy!

Now I bow cause this happiness that I have achieved is on a level of greatness that just want stop rising because I refuse to let it cease!

Give me liberty is all these insane thoughts was yelling.

On this paper I let them scream as loud as the peak of Mount Everest and when speaking I let my voice flow like the Nile River.

Thank you mama cause my baby got shot with a needle and I hollered forget it.

You gave me a tablet and you said yeah forget it.

So I wrote it.

Who would have ever known?

My power comes through a pen, bleeding through my veins, after, a series of understatements and build ups just to forget.

Now I actually like forgetting.
