Okay just listen to my words
And the story I tell
Well if you listen for a second
Maybe it could do you well
It could do you good
And help me get up out the hood
Maybe it could heal your soul
While I'm healing mine
I'm taking time
I'm tryna do it right
I'm tryna heal all of the pain that I hide inside
That I push behind my perfect smile and my eyes
Maybe if you paid attention
Maybe you could've realized
When I was down bad
And I was fighting demons in my mind

They was choking me
While I was crying
I had dreams and hopes of flying
Relying on myself
Cause I don't trust nobody else
I gotta be great
I cannot be good
I somehow always been misunderstood
They took my kindness for weakness
But now I'm back like a mean bitch

And maybe this and maybe that
But we can never go back
And we can never change the past
Don't reminisce on what you could've
Put yo shoulda coulda wouldas in a bag
And save that shit for later
Don't give a fuck no more
I'm tryna get this fucking paper

Well I'm the referee
And y'all just play my game
And nah this ain't no lesbo flow
But I'm in love with mary jane
And I ain't poppin no perc
But you could do as you like
And I ain't takin no xanny
On my darkest of nights

The same shit different toilet
If I rap it then I wrote it
If you knew me you would know this
I been down and I'm soulless
I ain't a hoe but I'm hoe less
Got no emotions cause they bogus
And yes
The realist bitch wrote this

If this my sonnet I pawn it
Cause I'll be gold one day
Man play this shit when I pass
I hope my memory last

Used and abused
It was like weed was my muse
I was raped at like 15 and no body had clue
I guess I hid it pretty well
Behind my smile and my hair
Well I hid it for myself
So I ain't have to feel despair

You asked about my demons
I could write you a whole list
But fuck that
Let's go back
To when I was a young innocent kid
They called me devil child
And I ain't reminiscing
But that shits where it started
It could've tainted my soul
And I just thought you should know

The things you say to little kids
Cause and effect what happens next
The seeds you plant into your mind
Could take a toll for a life time
I'm tryna keep my faith aligned
And spread a love that's so Devine
And I pray my soul never dies

Well
Original sin
It seemed like a woman screwed up from the get
But do not pretend
Like you would be here if it wasn't for them
So why do the men
Feel like they could use us abuse us and bend
I do it for them
For all of the woman pushed over the end

Yo nigga ain't sending flowers
You look like you lost without him
But bitch you need to retire
That mental burn it in fire
I'm building a fucking empire
My dreams I will aspire
My heart is heavy i'm tired
But I will not stop till I reach the top

Fuck a mil I'm hitting a bil
While you hittin licks
I'm getting rich
Just hit a three
Call me kobe
Lord do you hear me
I'm on bended knees
Help me please
Damn
My demons they on top of me
And
All day and all night
I just wanted a peace of mind
And all my chakras are aligned
Now it's finally my fucking time
Middle fingers in the air cause I never fucking cared
Middle fingers in the air cause I never fucking cared
Middle fingers in the air cause I never fucking cared
