From Wanting A Hit to just Wanting to be Heard
I remember how I used to want to be like Left Eye, Queen Latifah, or MC Lyte
Record labels are hard to get so, I thought it was worth a fight
However Nipsey Hussle was my biggest inspiration
He related to my struggle, overcame my situations
As I got older, my wanna be female rapper dream/singer stopped
My hits could've popped, but stress from school almost me a student that dropped
When I looked back, I just wanted to clear my head
Drama from home, that being said
My last 2 years of high school made my poetry purpose transition
Discrimination is a killer, so stopping it is my ambition
My spoken word for Black History Month was to expose Colorism
Light skinned vs Dark skinned and excluding brown skin is self-racism
The funny thing was I auditoned to sing for the show, but it was destiny for me to make my creativity grow
Now all of a sudden I'm a tattoo lover
Want to ink my whole body, but Pharasies want to stop me
Designing my own work, but being a scratcher might block me
Want to be professional, so I'mma follow my vision, see
Overall, poetry has helped me mourn, moan, rejoice, and declare
My enemies can't dare to stop me because their unaccomplished goal was to scare
