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
