I AM ERICKA


I AM ERICKA

I AM SMART AND FUNNY

I WONDER WILL IT EVER BE EASY

I HEAR J.COLE SING 

I SEE MY BEST FRIEND LOOKING DOWN FROM ABOVE

I WANT TO BE A REGISTERED NURSE

I AM ERICKA

 

I PRETEND I AM IMPORTANT

I FEEL AS IF LIFE KNOCKS YOU DOWN JUST TO SEE IF YOU TRY

I TOUCH THE HAND OF MY CARING MOTHER

I WORRY THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE HER PROUD

I CRY FOR THE MAN ABOVE TO HELP 

I AM ERICKA

 

I UNDERSTAND NOTHING COMES EASY

I SAY TO MYSELF ONE DAY HONEY I KNOW IT AINT EASY

I DREAM FOR SUCESS

I TRY TO DO MY BEST 

I HOPE ONE DAY MY DREAM WILL COME TRUE

I AM ERICKA

 

I AM ERICKA

NOT JUST A GIRL WHO TAKES SELFIES

I AM YOUNG

I AM SMART

I AM BEAUTIFUL

I AM SOMEONE WITH HOPES AND DREAMS

I AM ERICKA
