My story

[Verse 1]
Went from dancing on tabletops to making labels
pop
For the love of the money so I could cock
everything from icy rings to drop 
tops and now I'm on top
But to look back on my reality happy I stopped
Letting niggas ruin my world impressed by niggas
trying to school this baby 
girl I was fucking too early 
15 knowing money was green
Puffing too early, body big, not grown knowledged
up and too early
Thought it was cute to flirt with older kats up
in they face
Didn't have a daddy so I put a daddy in his face
My mami was my shelter but I broke free 
Learning that the streets was harder that I
thought they'd be
Wanting to be grown, rebeling
Ain't no telling what I'd be pussy selling (huh)
never would I
Instead I wore a g-string 
Thought never could I
Thought I had to, to be grown beginning of my
life

[Repeat 1]

Yo, close myself down
Held myself in
Explode by myself alone no one helping
What am I to do but cry alone at night
No one in the house nude tv is my life
Who was I to tell and what would they think of me
No one understood the pain that was sent to me
Broke down from the things men would say to me
Selling drinks to a nieve kid
I blame me
But I never really had someone tell me what to do
Teach me that I'm better than just pussy that's
true
Teach me that the future was written already
waiting to respect my self in 
life not to be someone would hate me
Do positive and positive will happen
Stay positive and positive was rapping
It was like my brain was clouded with unnecessary
shit
But I chose to see through the negative and make
hits uh

[Repeat 1]

Uh, uh, yo, yo
Now I'm 20 years old and look where I'm at
I thank the Lord every night and pray there's no
turning back
I wanna keep my family happy and that's that
Seen teens in my mother's eyes from platinum
plaques
See things I've done I don't regret I just learn 
>From mistakes in the past knowing now I had to
earn respect and earn trust
Some about school was never givin
The way you find out what life's about is simply
living to be strong
Stay strong let nobody crush you your body is
your temple young girls
Don't let him touch you
He'll respect anything you say if he really loves
you 
Don't settle for second let him put no one above
you
I did a lot of things in my life
I take back gotta take from the good and the bad
collect that
Cause it help the bill who you see now respect
that
Young, black, and strong keep me in ya
Take that

[Repeat 1]
