Steps

Sometimes I'm selfish and I know it

Prophesy my life, a priestess and a poet

Had the power in my heart but didn't show it

Daddy's approval, removal, I was manic but I'm growing

Thinkin' 'bout my sister, thinkin' 'bout them kids

Thinkin' 'bout the life we want, the life we live

Light worker, way shower, yeah, I try to be

My demons scheming, swear to God, won't get the best of me

I shoulda never dated white men

Fetishize a win, tokenism, light skin

It felt wrong, but it just might have been right whеn

Teaching and preparing me, suprеmacy is ripe when

Subtly, my G, you least expect

Stay in your place, the dots connect

Too aggressive is passive-aggressive, make your bed

Settle, settle don't reach too high, eat your bread

Internalize my truth

Speaking from my heart what the brain can't do

Internalize my truth

Speaking from my heart what the brain can't do

Not sleeping, not eating, not breathing

Not even no, reason no, no reason at all

Not even, never even, not even no reason, oh

Not sleeping, not eating, not breathing

Not even no reason, no, no reason at all

Not eating, not breathing, not even no reason oh

The brain was never fully used

Choosing habits over choices when it's pick and choose

Choosing comfort over transformation ain't the mood

Like the caterpillar thought it's sin was the cocoon

Bright monarch of the matriarchal silver moon

Caught and unaware like the careless swoon

Thought I was prepared until I met you

Thought I was prepared until I met you

There ain't no reason at all

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

I see that

Oh yeah, I see that

I'm breathing

I'm breathing

I'm breathing, yeah yeah
