| I can’t always be black and blue
|
| Gonna have to know babe, what you really want to do
|
| I can’t listen to what they say
|
| Got to make my own way, cause I got my own stakes
|
| And I need my own place on this ethereal plane no place for games I got serious
|
| things to say my man, I just
|
| Needed some time to tie loose ends and find out where I begin
|
| I do a little for the praise
|
| But mostly for the pain
|
| Mostly for that hole inside my soul that needs to see the light again
|
| I do a little for my friends
|
| The ones that know the lane
|
| The ones that been driving so long they seem to be inside a maze
|
| But it’s amazing, when you do what you want
|
| Affirm yourself yeah
|
| Know who you are
|
| Know where you’re going
|
| Remember where you’re coming from x2
|
| Though girl in a rough world where the thugs hurl
|
| When the money call anybody on the streets skrrr
|
| Ooh but y’all be broken broken broken. |
| x2
|
| Though girl in a rough world where the rich hurl
|
| When the money call anybody on the block skrrr
|
| Ooh but y’all be broken broken broken. |
| x2
|
| Broken and hoping that money can consult your heart
|
| And a new car will help you get her
|
| Or maybe less hurt
|
| Or maybe even heard
|
| Get respect on your turf
|
| You get a bunch of followers
|
| I find all that shit absurd
|
| I wanna stop all the hurt
|
| I wanna battle the curse
|
| Heal the divide with my words
|
| I’ll find in time how it works
|
| And Ooh bitches, when I do I’m coming for you with the loving that you’re poor
|
| soul has been missing
|
| But it’s amazing, when you do what you want
|
| Affirm yourself yeah
|
| Know who you are
|
| Know where you’re going
|
| Remember where you’re coming from x2 |
