POETRY
She eats with the same fork from the road you left her on
She scraps the worlds plates with the gratitude for its cracks
She takes back her hands from Father Time
she smiles
For she knows that her nature will always prevail
From the constraints you made for her
You have no power here
VERSE 1
In the middle of an amazon
Eyes wide open to my freedom
Negro spiritual in the plexus
I plant a mantra into all of y’all
Affirmation turning into living chant
This is how I make my world revamp
Open to lessons out there books
I guess I’m crooking from a crook
When you
Had a bullet to my name
When you
Took me out of my sane
When you
I was drowning in the waves
Then I
Learn to swim through the pain sir
Now you
Wanna say that I changed
Now you
Wanna say that I played
Now you
Wanna try and turn the page
Now I
Wont let you get away sir
CHORUS
For all the shit that I sacrificed
I’m taking my life
I’m taking my life sir
For all the pain that you put me through
You gonna pay dues
You gonna pay dues sir
Let em know they gotta pay the price
I’m taking whats right
I’m taking whats right sir
I’m taking back my life sir
I’m taking back my life sir
You should have knooooowwwww
You should have knowwwwwww
You should have knowwwww
You should have knowww
VERSE 2
At the core of my hearts cave
This is where I let my whole world fade
Haters gonna come and try to perpetrate
But y’all didn’t know I got the renegade
Eyes burning got cha all in the look
My life story got the worst of them shook
You can go ahead with your opinion
But let us recall what you done done
When you
Wanna say that I changed
When you
Wanna say that I played
When you
Wanna try and turn the page
Then I
Wont let you get away sir
Now you
Had a bullet to my name
Now you
Took me out of my sane
Now you
I was drowning in the waves
Now I
I can’t let you get away sir
CHORUS
For all the shit that I sacrificed
I’m taking my life
I’m taking my life sir
For all the pain that you put me through
You gonna pay dues
You gonna pay dues sir
Let em know they gotta pay the price
I’m taking whats right
I’m taking whats right sir
I’m taking back my life sir
I’m taking back my life sir
You should have knooooowwwww
You should have knowwwwwww
You should have knowwwww
You should have knowww
POETRY
I
Been at war
With myself
I
must surrender to my peace
I
Let go of all this fear
Now I
Make life for me

Easily my favorite Feelgood Summer Tune of 2018 so far. This one just oozes loveliness and dreamy holiday vibes with gorgeous vocals and sun-drenched melodies. Big up and full support! Heck, I even have the tune as my ringtone at the moment.
