A Unique Quality
I used to look int o this mirror
and see things I didnt want to remember.
I hated the small ears, black heads, and acne,
but most of all I hated looking at that reflection of my daddy.
Most daughters would love that trait,
the genes, and the physical attributes that come with it "they're just great!"
But wait everything aint sugar ice tea.
Let me explain since you're confused with me.....
My daddy isnt the world's best nor honorable mention.
He is more like the joker or green goblin better yet any villian.
Every promise even the simplest he never kept.
"We gonna do this and that..." he didnt promise nothing but the season of wept.
But he finally came to a basketball game....
Nevermind that was when the newspaper was giving me a little fame.
Since I was a little "star" in the newspaper and on my team
he saw scholarships, pro ball and me taking care of him.... his american dream.
He bought me some nice things tho
because he was impressing the woman of the week or the next..... you know.
He didnt raise my sister or me.
Nah that was my granny's responsibility.
But watch out! He can charm the death outta you
make everything I just told you a lie. Cute, huh?
Now what does this has to do with me?
My reflection cant you see?
I look, talk, and walk like my daddy
and just as plain as you can see.
But dont worry cause now Im over it.
Let me explain for a minute.
It did take a while I will admit.
I went deep sea diving, surface watching in my spirit.
Anything you name I did it
from the very top to the dirt bottom pit.
But I had good friends that helped me.
Without them I wouldnt have found the person I am meant to be.
Yea let me tell you
Im surprise they didnt jump into an ocean or two.
They were pulling some teeth
to help me believe
just cause I looked liked a reflection
doesnt mean I would become that thing.
I am a genuine human being
just as sweet as I can be
but I also raise some sand.
But I just want you to understand
being flawless aint easy it takes a lot of work
and a lot of time it might make you go berzerk.
If I can make it into the light
I am 100% sure you will be alright.
Dont try to do this alone.
That decision will leave you in an unfriendly zone.
Sorry got off topic just a bit....
Let me make this quick.
Now when I look into that mirror
I see an individual with a bright future.
I see an individual nothing like her father.
Nah she is and will be better.
Finally I leave you with this...
I am the one and only FLAWLESS!!!!!
