looking defeat in the face
They told me I'd never make it,
quite fit in this space
for the differences I behold
from those that have traced
made tracks before me
but their paths I've erased
And now I'm holding back
nausea from the taste
of words so divine
marinated and based
baked especially for me on polished plate
Ready to serve me anything
because my face holds
beauty and riches
features of sisters
that have thicker blood than me
something says I'ma make it from my ancestry
my bloodline is clear
my water thicker than dirt
now you tell me...
who that meant I desert?
Lies, deception and hurt
I'm hard headed,
always trying whats not gonna work
when I was younger I was too scared to face my fear
and now fear is too afraid to face Zaire
afraid to be in my presence
my words so bold
afraid to listen to my story
capture and behold
the true essence of struggle
the elegance of beauty
you heard my name before
its like you've happen to knew me
like a giant who flew me across galaxies waiting for light-years
I waited for a Kleenex to comfort my bruised tears
you haven't met me yet
but you charged me as follows:
THAT SELFISH SELF-CENTERED BITCH....
she must be hollow
cant feel a thing, or twitter a thought
put my hands behind my back (with the right to remain silent)... I'm CAUGHT
quick to pass judgment however it may be
haters could tell me more about my life story
you thought you heard my name before
she must be that chick called Z
but let it go...
you've only happen to knew me.
