I wanna be great but I’m afraid of my
greatness
So I tear myself down in the purest form
My actions
My movements aren’t the same
I don’t feel the same
And why I?
I thought it was just a funk
A phase that would pass over like the days but little did I know
It was
It is bigger than that
I blamed everyone
Even use particular people like they were toys
I was bored of feeling all these emotions
So I did it
In the moment I was happy or so I thought
Being alone showed me
Who I really am
I wasn’t proud of who she was
That bad bitch mentality will fuck you up if you get carried away
And I was on cloud 9
In the clouds I panicked
There I finally came to reality
Shame covered my body and my insecurities started appearing out of the blue
Why my clothes look like this?
Why did I have to gain weight?
So I hid with the best disguise that I knew
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you
Disconnected from the world
So unsure of everything
I knew I needed to change
Fed up of the spirit I held
My spirit started singing
My eyes flowed like the river
My heart regained its rhythm
My movement became fluid
And I was one
I learned from my past aware of my flaws
I can never reach my greatness if I’m afraid to fall
Been to hell and back
And made it out alive
Left some people on the way here
Even had to say goodbye
Best believe I know my potential
And I haven’t even started yet
I lost all hope
But now it’s restored
That 333
That 444
That 555
Surrounds me wherever I go
I got people looking at me
Wasn’t sure why at first
Til a wise man told me I was a goddess
And they have never seen anything like you before
So since I know they’re looking
I’m gonna give them something to look at
From the swing of my hips
To the threads that decorate my masterpiece
Alone I learned
Only I can stop this show
For I’m the director
And in the past I was tweaking on some strong shit
But I’m back and I’m better
Nothing happens on accident
Coincidence don’t exist
I’ve been put through this journey
To reach my greatness
