Explanation of My Attitude


In my mind I think I got this I'm so confident when I'm with this I'm sure of myself sincerely My arrogance and temerity Just keep adding to my audacity Kept in check by my morality Multiplied by my chastity Just leaves me with more character At the end of the corridor See me waving from my Mercedes Without my behavior being shady I managed to accomplish more than nice things Have 5 white gold rings with the icing I 'm not gonna be like everyone else I'm gonna do better and acquire the wealth I am not the stereotypical Angry, black female I re-represent my race a newer definition I embale Don’t try to find a rational behind my emotional new morale I think androgynous so I understand both sides Makes it thrice as easy to synergize Unfortunately it's hard for me to be sympathetic I understand you, I can be empathetic But life for the most part, Is how you stack it up So just recount that paper and rack it up Because survival depends on your determination I guess the plantation made a donation Because what my antecedents taught me was an investment If your enemies say it's true then that means you got to test it I suppose that's the rationale of why I question everything Got more players surrounding me than a superbowl ring That's why I 'm not like everybody else I'm keep doing better and aquiring the wealth I am not the stereotypical Angry, black female I re-represent my race a newer definition I embale I didn't grow up in the projects I don't need street credibility I don't want to be reminded of My own daddy's instability And when I think of it, it breaks my heart it makes me wanna forget And that part's the hardest So Instead it's just in the back of my mind But it's reflected in my actions all the time By my basic instincts and my initial reactions My drive to succeed, my need to take action That's why I think I got this I'm so confident when I'm with this I'm sure of myself sincerely My arrogance and temerity Just keep adding to my audacity Kept in check by my morality I guess that's just my personality.
