Jasmine J Walker

My world has come together
And maybe I just wanna let it shine
There is no good or better
I think tonight I’m gonna make it mine

I stepped out stepping on necks
Lil’ baddie cashing big checks
I bought the whole block out
Now that’s a big flex
Peeping out my Uber
Window like what’s next
Got new levels and new devils
Out the wazoo
Ain’t no worries life gets better
When you find you
And if you mind you peace will abide
And hide you until it’s time to start a new
So live it up we grown ain’t got no curfew
Who brought the bad vibes tell that bitch move
Barking all in my ear now that’s a bitch move
Pressed that I arrived mad that I survived
All your sad attempts to send me to the sky, huh
But I been in the wind been had wings
I was always this fly
Oh yes and that’s probably
Why you mad mad
Don’t let envy turn you to a trash bag
So get glad glad
Find out why you sad sad
All that jealousy you should subside
I think it’s time to turn that mirror on you
Put it up close for a clear view
And look deep down inside
And soon you will find
A pretty soul that needs more shine

My world has come together
And maybe I just wanna let it shine
There is no good or better
I think tonight I’m gonna make it mine

One two mean right hook
Come and test me my Mobb
Deep we’ll have you shook
It’s a marathon but babygirl
Never let up
No need for speed but keep your foot
Up on the gas pedal
Ain’t worried about having a golden award
When God made me to be a ice cold metal
Why are you always pressed about my life
Talking with ya frenemies about me saying
Oh girl have you seen her like The Chi-Lites
You tried but you could never dim my light
Please note I’m untouchable girl
I’ll slip through your fingers like a real fly kite
Why you wanna turn a good day into fight night
Constantly projecting all that negativity
Take that bad energy and go and get ya mind right
Say a prayer tonight to keep ya soul tight
You in a big world of danger
‘Cause you dwell in that drama
I put the work in
Now I got them big bags
That you call Birkins

My world has come together
And maybe I just wanna let it shine
There is no good or better
I think tonight I’m gonna make it mine

My world has come together
And maybe I just wanna let it shine
There is no good or better
I think tonight

All this money money money coming to me
No handouts I really had to do it for me
Watch me work, watch me work, watch me work
Get it out the dirt

You a hater but you never gonna stop me
Ya ‘lil clout really can’t block me
Pipe down like a D appointment
I’m high class and you’re just real annoying
Cutting people off like in traffic
Some say it’s black girl magic
Some got it and some just have it
Known to give old school vibes like classics
Worked hard my dream can’t snatch it
Home grown this here ain’t plastic
If you want it girl you can have it
Never judge how you go and get it
Everybody blueprint different
Like I’m tryna heal some children
Let ‘em know never hide their feelings
They can make it and reach past ceilings

All this money money money coming to me
No handouts I really had to do it for me
Watch me work watch me work watch me work
Get it out the dirt

I had no handouts I had to stand out
I was a man down my luck had ran out
Under the water look how I swam out
The bigger picture look how it panned out
Now life exactly just how I planned now
Mama I made it I am the man now
Know that my family all got a chance now
Partner I dare you tell me that I can’t now
I’m on my grind and I’m not gonna stop
Charge in like a bull watch me run up the stock
We popped like the Crisco got rich off the crypto
I’m winning again you can like it or not
My girl want an asset and yours want a Birken
I went to sleep but my money still working
My wealth generational nothing sensational
It come out of my mouth better know It's for certain, writer

That nine to five paid the bills
But that six to two gave me chills
I was up late working early
Just to make the dream become real
Pain was the motivation gave me something that I could feel
Don’t complain about what you hate if you ain’t been working that field
Everybody wanna be the man but they ain’t really made of steel
Got power in my words know how to tell the storm be still, be still
Ain’t resting there’s no sleep till the home fam got a mil
Till closing billion dollar deals
Till the bag is stamped and sealed

All this money money money coming to me
No handouts I really had to do it for me
Watch me work watch me work watch me work
Get it out the dirt

Own it own it
Own it own it

I learned to own my style
How I got this smile
Conquered fear got the crown
Can't nobody bring me down
I'm looking good quite frankly
Timbs and fitted big Yankee
Denim coat when I'm out east
I'm top tier you can't rate me

Stop talking baby go get it
You start something better finish
Yeah, that rooftop ceiling missing
I'm independently winning
Master P taught me no limit
Faith got me dominion
God given can't diminish
I'm set apart I'm distinguished

You a baddie baby you gotta own it, own it
Style and ya grace, you betta own it, own it
All they wanna do is copy and paste
But you they can't replace, so
Own it, own it, own it, own it

Necks turn when I walk in
Got 'em all hot, like she back again
Denim fit, I'm far from plain
Sugar and spice, I can't be lame
Tried to hate but my God stopped
You got blocked by this tight end
Motivated like them high school players
I know you remember those Titans

Everything ain't always black and white
I'm still gonna get it gonna win in spite
I'm shining bright can't dim this light
Diamond in the rough mud made me tough
You stuck on luck manifesting
I say my prayers count blessings
Flashy flashy flexing
My own style is impressing, ugh

You a baddie baby you gotta own it, own it
Style and ya grace, you betta own it, own it
All they wanna do is copy and paste
But you they can't replace, so
Own it, own it, own it, own it

Own it, own it, own it, own it
Pop them tags, pop them tags
Own it, own it, own it, own It
Get them bags, Get them bags
Own it

I shed so many tears that
My tear ducts turned red
Now that hemoglobin flowing
Keeping vampires fed

They wanted to jam me in
Lock me up and throw away the key
A pack of hyenas he he laughing at me

They took many shortcuts
By backstabbing me
If I don't get out they grip
Then these vultures won't dip

I ain't afraid to die
And fly off to the sky
But I got more life to live
So today I'm gonna try

To strive not to
Hide behind my fears
Hide behind the years
And hide behind my tears

God please take away
All these imperfections
Renovate my heart
And purify my soul

Do to me what I do to my floors
When I sand them
If you open up them doors for me
I won't be too demanding

Your truth, love, and light is what
I'll always stand in

I'm Your fierce humble servant just
Like you commanded

I got favor
Gods favor
And nobody
Can take it from me

I'm worthy
Of every good thing
And I'm gonna be what God
Called me to be.

Way back then when my thoughts was full of sin
Gods true full love for me I just couldn't comprehend

Cuz I felt over processed like a bad lace front job
I'm Gods chosen but struggling
That's kind of odd

When you stand close to the light you're bound to get burned
There's somethings on this journey I had to learn on my own

But there God was in plain sight I was never alone
Against me on this right path many weapons was formed

They tried to point aim release
Billets couldn't catch me

God opened up many doors
I couldn't think to dream
Just imagine what I could do
When you believe

Alone in my room I cried
Lord why you love me
A multitude of blessings I shouldn't have received

Dry yo tears my child
Don't you Eva doubt me
Throw that sad way of thinking out
Cuz that's my pet peeve

Many things I have in stored
Plant your feet and trust me

I got favor
Gods favor
And nobody
Can take it from me

I'm worthy
Of every good thing
And I'm gonna be what God
Called me to be

This here's my freedom cry
A prophetic selection
This for all them times you covered me
When I faced mad rejection

When things went left there you were
Making all corrections
That Holy Bible in my life
Was my greatest investment

This for that little girl inside
Who always wanted to hide
Rivers and lakes and ponds
Of salty tears she always cried

Neva felt beautiful
Or worthy like a prize
You dried my tears and said
Daughter don't you dare believe those lies

I got favor
Gods favor
And nobody
Can take it from me

Cuz I'm worthy
Of every good thing
And I'm gonna be what God
Called me to be

I got favor
Gods favor
And nobody
Can take it from me

Cuz I'm worthy
Of every good thing
And I'm gonna be what God
Called me to be

How you afraid to drop a dime
When you already dropped a dime
Got a wife at home but you steady on my line

Talkin' ‘bout shorty you remember when I grind slow
Did I really did I really blow ya mind though
Nah you got me confused with yo other boos

I been peeped game so I never gave the cookie up
And that’s why I got ya wife on the line man
And I hope she gets every single diamond rang

Niggas kill me
They put their fist up got ya all thinking that they're men of the people
All on the stage like
They're motivational speakers
When really they're just A1 creepers

You pushing and 40 with an 18-year-old shorty
Oh you think you’re lit cuz you’re riding around with
All of the hot sisters and fly mamacitas

Well I ain’t on ya payroll so let me shoot the shit
They ain’t laughing with ya they're all laughing
At ya cuz ya that old and afraid of commitment

Everybody in the world know that ain’t no G shit
Don’t get mad at me your life is kinda sad, B

Now this next jab is for my Saints and Ain’ts
My Holy Ghost filled fire baptize believers
Stop looking down at me I’m not an evil heathen

I’m 24 years old and never sold my soul
I went to college to get more knowledge
I upped my pedigree by fixing my credit B
I went across the stage and got my degree

I’m in the middle of my prime with a full-time job
I stay prayed up not laid up with a man that
All my kids call uncle Fred
I’m not on the front pew with my legs wide open
Tryna give the preacher a sip of my ocean

I might curse a bit but that don’t mean I’m not anointed
Appointed or chosen for this here time
I don’t want what ya got I only want what’s mine
This right here is for you that cross the line
All up in the club screaming damn she mighty fine

Walking up to me tryna’ cop a feel
Whisper in my ear talking bout ya million dollars
Nah that’s cap you got a million baby mamas
And Jazzy walked away cuz she ain’t even ‘bout the drama

Don’t ever in ya life try to put your hands on me
I know hood niggas in the trap
That’ll split ya like a Kit Kat
Then show up to ya wake like who did that

I’ll have ‘em throw you over the escalades
In broadway junction for ya sick escapades
How dare you fix ya crusty ass lips to say
That a black woman ain’t beautiful
Not with all that dirt built around ya thick ass cuticles

Give a damn about who’s box you keep glistening
When you don’t even have one pot to piss in

Nah son you don’t even have one
Who said that? Everybody, haha
I don’t even want to be petty but y’all know
I’m a Taurus right
And y’all done brought the bull out so
It’s hard for me to calm down now
Here we go

Jealous of ya situation nigga how you figure
I’ve been stacking chips tryna make six figures
Tryna do the right thing and keep my hand up off the trigger

If ya want that snow bunny then go get her

Cuz I ain’t worried bout it
Let Sue, Susie and Sally and them worry about ya mess
I promise I’ll be good cuz Jazzy stays blessed
I’ve been working hard ain’t got no time for the stress

It maybe all written but all these punch lines
And real hard Rhymes best believe they all mine
Real rap, no cap, straight facts
When ya girl blows please don't holla back
Keep that same energy and fall all the way back
Nigga, fall all the way back lean back

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

Everywhere I go the people really wanna know
Who I is and who I be
They stop and stare when they see me
If I said it once no need to repeat
Run up on me watch ya fall to ya knees
Tip my hat when it’s time for the kill
Ain’t no beefs when you’re really real
I am the boss
I am the Don
I am the one
They call lucky charm
Got my own shit
I don’t need your farm
Life was so hard it made me weep
Built to last this girl ain’t weak
Sturdy and still
When I plant my feet
Got it out the mud
Now it’s racks in my sleep
Look to God he supplies my needs
Endless faith is what brought me
Next level prosperity
Silent power moves is what I’m giving
They love to hate a world they can’t live in
Always present for the highs roads
Ghost when we’re in the deep lows
Lows
Lows
What toads
The future
Who knows
I Don’t do it for the likes
I do it for the love
Do it for the ones
Who really need a hug
‘Cause they had it tough
Never had enough
Feared loved and respected
Using words as a weapon
Testing she
Testing she
Deadly lesson

Hurry up quick
El Jefe’s coming soon
Sit up straight

This is her Queendom
Please respect her rule
Hurry up quick
El Jefe’s coming soon
Sit up straight
When she enters the room
Be enthused but
Don’t look too amused
This is her Queendom
Please respect her rule

Smile in my face witty in my place
But act gully on cyberspace
Let's pump breaks
Let's be frank
Running after him when you're the chase
You are the catch and he’s the net
How quickly do we all forget
To honor these small policies
My darling you are the empress Queen
Demand respect or he’ll neglect
You are the wind beneath his wings
You are the season
You are reason
Why this world can breathe
Giving sons eyes to see
And daughters dreams to believe
Anything less than the best
For you is high treason Queen

Hurry up quick
El Jefe’s coming soon
Sit up straight
When she enters the room
Be enthused but
Don’t look too amused
This is her Queendom
Please respect her rule
Hurry up quick

Be enthused but
Don’t look too amused
This is her Queendom

It’s the land of the free, home of the brave but a lot of us and here are still enslaved
Please take caution on every single thing that you preach the big elite got us in a tight grip on a leash
It’s freedom of speech but you want to take my page down is it cause a sistah spit that real shit now
Crazy black woman? Clown, how do you figure? I went to school came out and then stacked my figures
I could’ve been laid up child support paid up
Grabbing mad choppas to your hood
To spray it up
My life ain’t never ever been a fairytale Jack
I think it’s time for me to keep it all the way trill
Sit back relax there’s some things I’m going to reveal
I grew up in the hot quick-sand mud trenches
Mad rainy days so you know I kept slipping
No need for me to cry because I will always be contending

This here path of righteousness
It just ain’t an easy road
But I’m trying every day
To do more than the day before

This here path of righteousness
It just ain’t and easy road
But I’m striving everyday
To be better than the day before

Just trying to be a woman of my word
Just trying to make sure everything I get I truly deserve
Every L I ever got was a lesson I learned
And everything God gave me was a blessing I ain’t earned
But he still saw fit to tell me I was fit enough to run the race and even though I ain’t in first place He told me I was worthy enough
To master the gift
He graciously bestowed
Upon me for his glory
Stop look at me up-and-down when you don’t know my story
I remember when my moms brought my cousins to the house to turn the lights on and not near One of them ever in they life worked for con Edison
Truth be told she had to open up the oven to keep three little babies warm from the cold
No probably be the water so she had to boil it on the stove
Shout out to my mama who never had the chance to fold

This here path of righteousness
It just ain’t an easy road

But I’m trying every day
To do more than the day before

This here path of righteousness
It just ain’t and easy road
But I’m striving everyday
To be better than the day before

Don’t look me in my eyes cuz I stare
Too intense
I’m one with the earth yeah I light my incense
I spit a 16 and make it all make sense
I’m highly educated
I do well under pressure
Put me in the water and
Watch me triple your investment
This ain’t black girl magic this is black girl rage
Can’t nobody tell me God won’t make a way
I vividly remember my LA homeless days
I was sleeping on the floor
With like 35 niggas praying to the Lord

Oh God don’t let them see my figure
No food in the fridge somehow I still ate
No money in the bank but I got paid

This here path of righteousness
It just ain’t an easy road
But I’m trying every day
To do more than the day before

This here path of righteousness
It just ain’t and easy road
But I’m striving everyday
To be better than the day before

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

I’m tired of being broken about this
I’m tired of not knowing where I fit
I’m on my way to being better
I’m on my way to doing better

Taking it back like Motorola flip phones
Way back when I had posters on my wall
A time in space when people called me brace face
The traumas of this life I just can’t escape
Is depression every day what it takes to be great
‘Lil young mind couldn’t understand the stakes
I had to learn on my own how to separate from snakes
Silent screams is what I did every night
Toxic friends wouldn’t let me have a life
The ones real close brought the biggest strife
Hard to be hopeful when you ain’t living right
I want the drama out my life
Get it out my sight
Run up on me that’s a cause for a fight
One bag in my hand ‘cause now I pack light
Looking in the mirror uplifting myself
Don’t worry 'lil shawty it’ll be alright

I’m tired of being broken about this
I’m tired of not knowing where I fit 104
I’m on my way to being better
I’m on my way to doing better

Never again will I accept disrespect
Or fall victim to selfish neglect
Mad at me when it’s evil you project
I’m coming hard body ain’t no time to half step
Principalities wanna see me down
Holy Ghost with me I’m so profound
Can’t go back now
Can’t cop my style
Wanna steal my sound
Here’s a red nose clown
Oh am I supposed to be happy
‘Cause you invited me to the party
You want applause for the bare minimum
Pay me I got a real big family to feed
I got homeless kin on the streets
That’s out there in need
No chains without land or money isn’t free
Ya name ain’t Stevie this harm that you’re brewing
I know you beyond your eyes you can clearly see


I’m tired of being broken about this
I’m tired of not knowing where I fit
I’m on my way to being better
I’m on my way to doing better

How you face your giant is how God get the glory
Don’t quit the good chapter of your story on the way
Show them pearly whites it’s about to be a brighter day
I know you’re real sad now but it’ll be ok
When the no’s come
Don’t flinch
Put the work in beast mode Marshawn Lynch
Don’t do it for the green
Don’t do it to be seen
Do it ‘cause you can’t just live in your dreams
Put your self-esteem top shelf
The war is on but you’re hidden well
Just can’t help these cards you were dealt
But when you arrive that presence felt
Running supreme in your little realm
Purpose meets fate when you find yourself
Keep looking to the hill which cometh your help
Yeah look to the hill which cometh your help

I put my mind to it
Then I got my pen
And put my grind to it

Neva easy it was hard from the get go
Storm of obstacles Jazzy been through it

I put my mind to it
Then I got my pen
And put my grind to it

Neva easy it was hard from the get go
Storm of obstacles Jazzy been through it

Neva wanted to be a broad
With my hands out
So I had to find myself I learned
To stand out

You can count me out
But like tomorrow after arm day
Best believe mi amore jazzy
Gon' sore

We ain’t speak in a year
Then tell me how we friends

Ain’t Issa to you Molly’s I ain’t gon pretend

Wonder why his man got shot in his bens
It’s cuz homie had mad ops as his friends

Way too grown to be caught slipping
Thick thighs from eating chicken wings and French fries

Big Brown eyes make a grown man cry
Something like Tyra I know how to smize

And that’s why a simp ass nigga
Can’t come near

See dem girl ova dere all dem ah fear

I had to learn to hustle smart
When the block was hot
I’m working harder than
A bootlegger in a nail shop

I put my mind to it
Then I got my pen
And put my grind to it

Neva easy it was hard from the get go
Storm of obstacles Jazzy been through it

I put my mind to it
Then I got my pen
And put my grind to it

Neva easy it was hard from the get go
Storm of obstacles Jazzy been through it

I remember when a thousand doors
Slammed in my face
But every last failure I neva would erase

Cuz it taught me many things like
How to save face
And how to stay strong to maintain my pace

The horrors of this process I had to embrace

Scared, homeless, and alone
I couldn’t call home
Pride wouldn’t let Jazzy pickup the phone

So this journey I chose to do on my own

But man what a hell of a choice
I put my feet to the pavement
To make some noise

I got a bag from writing papers for a couple college kids
I told 'em if you roll with me
Then they’ll always win

My words helped them pass
Every last test

My work helped them ace
Every hard quiz

Damn Gina, you the plug
Super genius

Are we in Oz?
Girl, you gotta be the wiz
Ah

I put my mind to it
Then I got my pen
And put my grind to it

Neva easy it was hard from the get go
Storm of obstacles Jazzy been through it

I put my mind to it
Then I got my pen
And put my grind to it

Neva easy it was hard from the get go
Storm of obstacles Jazzy been through it

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

No more making excuses for my own shortcomings
It’s time to take responsibility for me
Daughter of a king who’s King of all kings so, um, yeah I’ve been top tier

Walking with my head held high in every stride I make
I took the long way here my soul you can’t take
No matter what ya say and do my spirit can’t break
Real self-love is kinda hard to fake
So love yourself little girls and boys
Don’t let this big bad world swallow up your joy
Cuz they ain’t give it to you
Nah, that’s God’s work
Amazing things you will achieve when you put him first

I can and I will achieve every single dream as long as I believe
I can and I will achieve every single dream as long as I believe
I can and I will achieve every single dream as long as I believe
I can and I will achieve every single dream as long as I believe

Confidence of a champ cuz I am that
Funny when I professed my dreams people fell back
They all thought I was crazy
What crack you smoking I think ya visions hazy
Girl you must’ve fell and bumped your head
Did ya momma drop you as a child I think ya lost ya mind
Nah, ain’t no loose screws here
You’re talking to a woman that moves with no fear
I wanted something different, so I did something different
I saw it, believed it, spoke to God and achieved it
Yeahhh, this for every train ride that I ever had to cry to see my dreams thrive
So you wanna get in the mix of Gods plan
Well bless your heart honey good luck with that
If it’s one thing I know can’t nobody stop my bag
What’s meant for me best believe I’ll have

Do ever let people tell you what you can’t do
Everything you need is already within you
Look to God who’s alive he makes things new
The blessings falling down
Reach up and grab it
Reach up and grab it
Reach up and grab it

Do ever let people tell you what you can’t do
Everything you need is already within you
Look to God who’s alive he makes things new
The blessings falling down

Reach up and grab it
Reach up and grab it
Reach up and grab it

Do ever let people tell you what you can’t do
Everything you need is already within you
Look to God who’s alive he makes things new
The blessings falling down
Reach up and grab it
Reach up and grab it
Reach up and grab it

Do ever let people tell you what you can’t do
Everything you need is already within you
Look to God who’s alive he makes things new
The blessings falling down
Reach up and grab it

Reach up and grab it

I can and I will achieve every single dream as long as I believe
I can and I will achieve every single dream as long as I believe
I can and I will achieve every single dream as long as I believe
I can and I will achieve every single dream as long as I believe

I am ready
To receive
Everything

And ain’t nobody
Gon’ stop me
I was thrown in the furnace
I lived in the fire
I came out shining
I was destined for higher, higher

Everything

And ain’t nobody
Gon’ stop me
I was thrown in the furnace

I’m delivered but still a lil’ hood
Look a op in the eye like I wish

I spit hot fire upon every single noggin

Honestly I’m just here to be the best that I can be

I’m Coretta when it comes to this queen shit
I got the haters mad like can you believe this

Strong enough to stand by myself but smart enough to know I still need a lil’ help

Can’t change the cards I been dealt
But I can make sure that my presence is felt
I’m kicking down doors like the leader of the SWAT team
I feel bad for you if you’ve ever doubted my schemes
Watch my dreams in high beams in the sky or on TV screens

Ain’t no judge just God’s vessel
Here to give you all a nudge

All you kids out there
Please don’t take no lean
Try your best to stay clean
To fulfill every dream

I vividly remember me praying
On the ground asking God saying

When exactly will you bring me out
of all of these here thick clouds of doubt

I’m trying my best to work it all out
But honestly I just really want to shout

He said my child if you draw near to me
Then I’ll help you finish your destiny

I gotta do better
Gotta speak better
Gotta live better

I gotta do better
Gotta love better
Gotta give better
I gotta do better
So much better than
What I am doing
I gotta do better
Better, better, better
Better, better, better

It’s crazy when reality is much more frightening than your dreams
What happens in the world it’s much different when your skins pigmented
He asked me what I mixed with
I said I’m black and black he scrunched his face up I’m like what’s wrong with that
Love who you love it don’t matter to me
But what irks a sister
Nah, what really hurts a sister
Is when you get with them snow bunnies and exotic queens
To sit up on your throne and look
Down at me
The One who birthed you
The one who raised you
The one who mourn you
The one who is left to raise all
Of your little kids
Sometimes it takes so much
To be a black woman
When we’re happy, we’re too loud
We got standards were too proud
When we say how we feel it
Comes off as aggressive
Now everybody in the spot
Thinks were so offensive
So we gotta dim our light
And become submissive

But, Lord, I’m so tired, I’m so sick and tired of this muzzle
Why every word I speak sounds muffled
How can I for fill my destiny if I can’t even
Open up my mouth and say my piece
Can somebody please explain this to me

I gotta do better
Gotta speak better
Gotta live better

I gotta do better
Gotta love better
Gotta give better

I gotta do better
So much better than
What I am doing

I gotta do better
Better, better, better
Better, better, better

Why is this cold world inhabited
By so much evil
Why do we post naked pictures
With positive affirmations
Knowing daggone well
That we’re capping
In them captions
Why can’t we choose love and
Learn how to watch our actions
Why can’t we support each other
Like the people who hanged us
Why we just can’t be ourselves without
Them thinking we’re dangerous

She says she’s been raped
Why her mama don’t even believe her
This trauma has opened up the door for the deceiver
To deceive her, he shames her, and tells her that she’s nothing
The lies he filled her head with
Are now on her arms and wrists
She could’ve been someone
Done something special
Or off to college
To make an effort
To be a high achiever
Give it her all and never let up
But the world ain’t let her
Instead like an evil beast ready to feast
It consumed her flesh and soul
Kinda like Hannibal Lecter
There it was taking all she had
Like a debt collector

I gotta do better
Gotta speak better
Gotta live better

I gotta do better
Gotta love better
Gotta give better

I gotta do better
So much better than
What I am doing

I gotta do better
Better, better, better
Better, better, better
