Lyrics

Yeaaaaah
I’m tryna tell you how I’m feeling
ouuuu, ouuu, ouuuuuu
Please listen
It’s not everyday, that I feel this way
In fact I’d taken this off of my mind
Figured some would stay, most were foreplay
But never a waste of my time
See I lead with my heart
Used, abused, broken and then made a fool
So I tore it apart
Never again to be used as a tool
For my destruction, or your healing, pleasure or elevation
You gon’ hear what I’m saying
Do you feel what I’m singing
Don’t back down
Step into the light even if it blinds them
Stand your ground
Baby let them feel you, how else you go find them
Hold it down
Tell them demons any battles they got you can face them
Fix your crown
Cuz if you don’t give them, how will they take it
Wasn’t tryna read,
The messages left on the wall, so convinced I wouldn’t fall
Was living my best life bitch you know I had a motherfucking ball
But if you don’t pay attention
Life teaches humble lessons
Snatch away from you the very thing that makes your world spin round
I still lead with my heart
Found the wound, healed it now it’s just a bruise
Kiss around all my scars
Remind myself life’s good so let’s catch a cruise
Some elevation, some celebrating with small libations
If you feel what I’m saying
Mama mi said sing this
Don’t back down
Step into the light even if it blinds them
Stand your ground
Baby let them feel you, how else you go find them
Hold it down
Tell them demons any battles they got you can face them
Fix your crown
Cuz if you don’t give them, how will they take it
Yes, I’ve been a messy one
Tryna make my mess my message to enlighten some
Find your path, live your truth, embrace enlightenment
Make sure your time on this here planet is well spent
Gather round lovies let me preach it
You can achieve it, if you can only dare to dream it
You gotta believe it’s in you baby can’t you feel it
Your light is your right, go on shine bright
Don’t back down
Step into the light even if it blinds them
Stand your ground
Baby let them feel you, how else you go find them
Hold it down
Tell them demons any battles they got you can face them
Fix your crown
Cuz if you don’t give them, how will they take it
