I'm growin' towards the goals I set for myself long ago
Before I believed I could take control, before I believed I could get up and go
Change was needed, no longer so quick to try to please
I got my own priorities, my own journey, my life to lead
My soul to feed, my heart to beat
I gotta a voice inside of me that constantly wants to be freed
When I let it out you better listen up
Try not to trip when I give you a kick off your pedestal
What's left is yet to show itself, and greatness comes in baby steps
You guess the rest, cuz I've been givin' you my best
I no longer self-destruct, I've been practicing self love
I've been workin' out, I'm tough, the woman I've become is enough, whoa
A hundred times stronger than ever before
You don't intimidate me anymore
I have created a whole new sport
I say the ball is in my court and I say that I decide the score
Who's got the power now
Who's got the power now
Who sets the stage, who takes the ace
As if you didn't know
The Celestine Prophecy was a book that wanted me to read it
My soul found the fetus and a journey began
Started sorta rocky, but early understand
On my own, I was thrown outta high school
Started a new cycle and fade out my family
My life gotta be positivity, and their issues were killin' me man
You aint gotta follow in the footsteps,
Take the good, leave the bad and the bull-ish
Now back to the book I was diggin'
It felt more like rememberin' than readin'
Seeing energy fields felt fictional
But we feel is real simple and invisible
Movin' all around us in countless examples
Turn the channel and follow the flow
There is no such thing as coincidence
Only intersecting arrows and incidents
In a sense we are all connected and constantly being tested
Except it is truth enlightens my moves
Inner insight now looking for clues
I try to learn from my mistakes like my bad
I try to walk the peaceful warriors path
Which also was a book that wanted me to read it
My soul found the fetus and a journey began
Started sorta rocky, but early understand
On my own, I was thrown outta high school
Started a new cycle and faded out
Thought I was there helpin' you out
But you never gave me credit for that
We were so young tryin' to be grown
Left our parents, on our own
Baby on board, kind of afraid
What was to come on this path that we paved
We didn't work out, but the child needed parents
I did my part, which was apparent
But not to you though, or your family
Tryin' to take control, of my destiny
But I love my baby, that's all that really mattered
Dealin' with you made me feel warn and batterd
Felt like boot camp, all were food stamp
You would say jump, I would say how high
Felt like a punk, started to not try
But I'm not a coward, never did I give up
Try to take my power but your attemps weren't enough
To break me, shape me, strength is amazing
I speak about the past, future's what I'm facing
I speak about the past, future's what I'm facing
I took back my power, it was always in me
I took back my power, it was always in me
A hundred times stronger than ever before
You don't intimidate me anymore
I have created a whole new sport
I say the ball is in my court and I say that I decide the score
