Little black girl from the South |
| [00:44.16] |
Little black girl run her mouth |
| [00:45.30] |
Little black girl don't know where to go |
| [00:46.76] |
'Cause she like to clown and the teachers stay kickin' her out |
| [00:49.24] |
Insecure, but she won't say it out loud |
| [00:50.99] |
All she wanna do is make her mama proud |
| [00:52.80] |
She wanna be like them other girls, they in another world |
| [00:55.17] |
She just can't figure them out |
| [00:56.42] |
Round face, thick thighs |
| [00:58.33] |
Full waist, bright eyes, she |
| [01:00.44] |
Wonders if they'll judge her for her size, she |
| [01:03.05] |
Doesn't compromise, she's |
| [01:04.96] |
Seen this world before, this child is wise |
| [01:07.60] |
Never busy |
| [01:08.06] |
But her mind is occupied, she used to dream of high rises |
| [01:11.06] |
But life is |
| [01:12.95] |
Full of surpises |
| [01:14.41] |
Talent comes in second place to perfect timin' |
| [01:17.08] |
Used to swear that I was ready, but back then I wasn't rhymin' |
| [01:20.56] |
Funny, hunger came from stayin' in my dorm and eatin' Ramen |
| [01:24.24] |
College had me stressin' |
| [01:25.39] |
College had me stressin' |
| [01:27.25] |
So Father grant me blessings |
| [01:29.01] |
Path I'm on is lonely so, right now just help me feel yo presence |
| [01:32.31] |
Gimme royal bars with the humility of mortal peasants |
| [01:35.88] |
Pray that every L just stand for lesson |
| [01:38.42] |
Call me Lauryn as I stand on this hill |
| [01:40.80] |
I begin to survey the field |
| [01:42.54] |
I wondered, just how far I'd get without a deal, 'cause |
| [01:45.38] |
Anything I say is real and any line I spit is facts |
| [01:48.85] |
And any dream I have is valid, so I'm never goin' back, **** |
| [01:52.93] |
(Listen to that voice inside) |
| [01:56.24] |
(That is where the choice resides) |
| [01:59.66] |
You write the future, you know where it lies |
| [02:00.78] |
I preceed judgment as anger's disguise |
| [02:02.32] |
Taking a risk will always yield a prize |
| [02:04.17] |
People will tell us to follow our heart and then look at us crazy when we live our lives |
| [02:08.03] |
My mom, this one's for dad |
| [02:09.28] |
All of the supporters that I ever had |
| [02:11.00] |
This for the principal at my highschool who said I would be nothin', well look where I'm at |
| [02:14.51] |
Won't stop till I ain't got to look at the tag |
| [02:16.19] |
Till' we go out to eat and I pick up the tab |
| [02:18.04] |
Took a leap on my dream now it's all I can see |
| [02:19.80] |
I'm enjoyin' the scene and I'm not lookin' back, **** |
| [02:21.73] |
