I AM A WOMAN
A STRONG WOMAN
I AM ALIVE AND KICKING...
A WOMAN ALONE IN THIS WORLD
SO COLD SO CRUEL
I AM...... A WOMAN ALONE
BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S THE MIND
OF MEN WHO FUEL THE EARTH
MY WORTH TURNS TO NOTHING
IN THE MINDS OF OTHERS
BUT I GOTTA BRUSH IT OFF AND KEEP
PUSHING THROUGH THE STRUGGLE.
A MOTHER ALONE WHO HAS TO RAISE
FROM BOYS 5 MEN
I GOTTA GIVE MY ALL CAN'T LET THE
JADED THOUGHTS
OF THE IGNORANT WIN.
A WOMAN ALONE IN THIS WORLD I GOTTA FIN FOR MYSELF...
THROUGH ALL THE STRIFE, MISFORTUNE AND ABUSE IN THIS LIFE,
LORD WHERE'S MY HELP???
THROUGH HEARTACHE AND TEARS HAVING TO LEARN THE HARD WAY NEVER PUT ANYONE ABOVE ME...
*a bought lesson is the best kind; trust me you'll see*
GOD WHY DIDN'T I SEE FROM THE BEGINNING THE QUEEN YOU DESIGNED ME TO BE???
I AM A WOMAN ALONE WHO TRIES TO BE
A FRIEND AND GIVE INSPIRATION TO ALL THOSE WHO I CROSS PATHS WITH
CUZ SOMEBODY HAD TO LET THEM IN...
LET THEM IN ON THE SECRET
THAT THEY TOO ARE WORTHY
LET THEM KNOW
THAT THEY GOTTA LOVE SELF
LET THEM KNOW
THAT THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE THEIR ONLY PRIORITY...
A WOMAN ALONE IN THIS WORLD???
YES I AM!!!
BUT MY ANCESTORS BROKE THE SHACKLES
AND FOUND SOME SYMBOL OF FREEDOM
SO HERE I STAND...
ERASING GENERATIONAL CURSES
PAST HURTS AND LIES
GOT OUT MY CANVAS AND BRIGHT COLORS
TODAY TABOO DIES!!!
I'M PAINTING A NEW HISTORY FOR MY FAMILY TREE AND IT ALL STARTS RIGHT HERE WITH ME!!!
THROUGH MY EYES...
YOU'LL SEE THE LOVE I CARRY FROM
MY HEART,
MY SOUL
THE VERY DEPTHS OF MY BEING...
I WILL NOT
TOTE THE HEAVY BURDENS ON MY BACK!!!
I'VE LET GO AND RELEASED IT ALL;
I WANT MY CHILDREN
AND MY CHILDREN CHILDREN
TO HAVE WHAT I LACKED.
THIS WOMAN ALONE IN
A WORLD SO COLD SO CRUEL...
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT......
I REFUSE TO LET THE GHOST OF MY GENERATION RULE!!!
