Little black girl from the South

Little black girl run her mouth

Little black girl don't know where to go

'Cause she like to clown and the teachers stay kickin' her out

Insecure but she won't say it out loud

All she wanna do is make her mama proud

She wanna be like them other girls they in another world

She just can't figure them out

Round face thick thighs

Full waist bright eyes she

Wonders if they'll judge her for her size she

Doesn't compromise she's

Seen this world before this child is wise

Never busy

But her mind is occupied she used to dream of high rises

But life is

Full of surpises

Talent comes in second place to perfect timin'

Used to swear that I was ready but back then

I wasn't rhymin'

Funny hunger came from stayin' in

My dorm and eatin' Ramen

College had me stressin'

College had me stressin'

So Father grant me blessings

Path I'm on is lonely so right now

Just help me feel yo presence

Gimme royal bars with the humility of

Mortal peasants

Pray that every L just stand for lesson

Call me Lauryn as I stand on this hill

I begin to survey the field

I wondered just how far

I'd get without a deal 'cause

Anything I say is real and any line

I spit is facts

And any dream I have is valid so

I'm never goin' back s**t

Listen to that voice inside

That is where the choice resides

You write the future you know where it lies

I preceed judgment as anger's disguise

Taking a risk will always yield a prize

People will tell us to follow

Our heart and then look at us crazy

When we live our lives

My mom this one's for dad

All of the supporters that I ever had

This for the principal at my highschool

Who said I would be nothin' well look where I'm at

Won't stop till I ain't got to

Look at the tag

Till' we go out to eat and

I pick up the tab

Took a leap on my dream now it's all

I can see

I'm enjoyin' the scene and

I'm not lookin' back s**t

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
