Black Butterfly

The truth is both healing and deadly
Truth can reveal
Truth can kill
What truth to you is real?
Let me know
Many lames tried to box me in
Got em stuck with the lemon face
Every time I win
Looney Buffoons in my presence can't pretend
That they don't want me
Under the earth
Smothered in dirt
Mothers in black
Crying in church
Big body tings
I can't fit up in ya hearse
Oh you mad lil n****
Cuz I finally know my worth
Started daily affirmations
Learned to put God first
Demons move better
When you upgrade yourself
Well I'm a steel soldier
In the army of the lord
Living by the pen
But not afraid to die by my sword
I talk heavy
Cuz I walk heavy
With the Holy Spirit
This divine connection
Got me feeling fearless
I'm wise enough to know
Not to move reckless
Always remain humble
Cuz even the most favored man
By God could yet and still
Suddenly lose it all
Don't get high up on your horse
You just might stumble and fall
No life insurance or a will
Now ya family holding dead weight
Meetings with ya lawyers and ain't nothing in the briefcase
Moms yelling to the Lord help us for Peeps Sake
Ego on ten but you softer than a cheesecake
Lip service is what you give when it's time to get down
That's why real triple OGs never want you around
It's either put in work lil homey or it's time to kiss ground

Just tryna find out who I really is
And if I'm gon make it out in show biz
Just tryna find out who I really is
And if I'm gon make it out in show biz

These for all them dark days
When I had them dark thoughts
I felt so cast away from my God's heart
Like Tom when he lost Wilson
I was engulfed by my emotions
Like titanic in the deep
I was Jack up in the ocean
Drifted away from my purpose on purpose
The Lord's plans for me
I just wouldn't conceive
Couldn't believe
Out of 7 billion souls that walked the earth
I was the one anointed to defend God's word
You should've of killed the beef
Now ya out here sprawled out
Homicide got ya lined up
Body chalked out
Revenge killings on high
They bled the block out
I wanna unite my people from
Their masters like right now
Do something big in music like Steve Stoute
Let the kids back home know
That somebody cares
This for my day one supporters
Who for me were always there
I wanna build the block up with
Community giving
Health living
Make all the mamas feel appreciated
Teach them all to buy land
That's how you get initiated
In the black wealth club
Highly anticipated
Don't buy no cars
Cuz that value gets depreciated

Just tryna find out who I really is
And if I'm gon make it out in show biz
Just tryna find out who I really is
And if I'm gon make it out in show biz

My mark on the culture
Is how I'll know I've made it
Not looking for no accolades
Or even to be the greatest
Wanna kick my feet up in my mansion
With my fam elated
Cuz my destiny the devil tried
But just couldn't take it
My mark on the culture
Is how I'll know I've made it
Not looking for no accolades
Or even to be the greatest
Wanna kick my feet up in my mansion
With my fam elated
Cuz my destiny the devil tried
But just couldn't take it

Just tryna find out who I really is
And if I'm gon make it out in show biz
Just tryna find out who I really is
And if I'm gon make it out in show biz

Hey honey bee you deserve all you desire
So fly away black butterfly to what you admire
Only you can hinder you from truly reaching triumph
I'm destined for greatest because I imagined that
My skin light but
Baby I am blacker than black
I got a mean code switch
Voice for work type black
I'm so black that my pale teacher
Called me a n*****
In the middle of class
And I just sat back and laughed
Because that word don't make me boo
It makes you miserable
Don't got to go to the circus
To know it's clowns in there
I thank God for discernment
To know when clowns is near
If God truly be for me
Then tell me who should I fear
Nah, who can I run to when
I wanna disappear
I looked up to the sky
To the one who gave
His Son to die just for you and I
He's our greatest escape
I heard if you spew hate
Then you are blocking your blessings
Don't come to me with negativity
I learned my lesson
Love, hope, joy, peace is what I'm manifesting
Don't take my concerns as a sign of pmsing
Don't just hear the tone of my voice
Baby please hear the message

Anything I wanna do
I'm gon do it
Everywhere I wanna go
Imma go there
Cuz we losing people daily
And tomorrow's not promised
So Imma do all I can while I'm here

I walked through so much hell
Why you surprised that I'm fire
I'm climbing to reach higher
And I'm living to inspire
Shout out to the depressed
Who are all cried out and tired
You're not alone in this world
I've been right where you are
Help is on the way
Hold on
I know you can make it far
As long as you're still breathing
There's always a reason
For you to be here
No matter what the season
This is just a test of faith
God really holds your fate
Delayed but not denied
His Favor never be too late
I'm shining so bright
That I out shine the sun
Call me supernova lady
The radiant one
My energy is infinite rivers of purified waters
They ask who I am
And I tell em
God's daughter

Anything I wanna do
I'm gon do it
Everywhere I wanna go
Imma go there
Cuz we losing people daily
And tomorrow's not promised
So Imma do all I can while I'm here

What you know about blow up beds
Top ramen
I been laying down hot tracks
All in my closet
Spitting heavy bars
On the software like logic
Headed to the shop
For some self care items
Bought the whole store out man I love Target
Spent all that bread
In my wallet for a bargain
I cut them carbs out
Now I'm in the park jogging
All the dogs lined up outside barking
They yelled hey b****
I said I beg your pardon
You a high yellow, siddity, uppity chick
Nah I'm blessed highly favored and exquisite
But you the type to yell
Black girl magic
And every single day
You do a black girl tragic
That fragile make ego you can all have it
I'd rather be by my lonely
Then go back at it
Like a crack addict
Big facts

I'm breaking free from all these insecurities
No more sabotaging what God has for me
I've made up my mind that I'll be free
I'm letting go of all this negativity

Can’t see the tears falling from my eyes
But now they sweating
So many years my self-love I neglected
I poured my heart out to n***** who never checked in
Upset with myself like girl why you let em in
He a beast at the late shows like David Letterman
Probably why all his women need a high sedative
