Her Shell
It took years for her to
Get out of shell
Yall had no clue
All of hell
She faced in her
Younger days
Everyone around her
Whether it was behind
Her back or in front
Of her face
Used to and still call
Her outside of her name
It was the Holy Spirit
Who broke her shell
Enemies down the years
At her would stay yellin
But she would just
Ignore the wrong smells
Can't you tell when she
Walks by
That she realized that she
Belongs to the Heavenly
Father who's higher in the skies
She never has to ask herself
Why her crooked teeth
Still don't look right
Because Jesus said,
"I'm using her until the day she dies"
