The Beauty in me


Use to live life on the bare minium

now I'm going and choosing and getting some

I had to find it in me

couldn't see clearly

thought i would never be successful until i saw the beauty in a day

in another way

had to pray 

had to pray 

had to pray 

couldn't lay down

had to be successful

I'm not a rebel

Just on another level

fighting back all these devils

insecurities immaturities and now I'm a new me

had to love myself before i loved you

sad but it's true

but you already knew

had to forgive live and let live

when i was 10 I use to ball

i was only 4 ft 2

but I felt tall

I was not afraid

but a champion

even if i lost 

had to pay the cost

but somewhere down the road Iost my motivation

which caused devastion

and depression

learned my lesson

I could only be me

the me that is Great

the me that is Awesome

Now sit back and watch me blossom
