Don't Bow Down


I don’t bow down

I stand up straight and proud

Some say it’s an ego

Some call me a diva

Ring the alarm because I don’t care if what I will please ya

I’m a girl on a mission

Girl with a mind

Happy with herself all of the time

I study

I work

Get my hands in the dirt

Don’t need a man to feel stable

Or people’s opinions

If I’m true to myself I’ll be like Drake

Me myself, and all my millions

Millions of beliefs pilled up inside making me unique and not a basic white girl for you to walk by

From my vixen eyes to my devilish grin to the way I think till I’m at the very end

In this lifetime

I’ll always be me

Confident just like Queen B.
